Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on the critical transition from compensated to decompensated cirrhosis, which drastically shortens survival rates from over 10 years to just 2 years, underlining the need for better prediction methods.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed on 652 studies, ultimately including 63 studies that analyzed 49 biomarkers across over 31,000 patients to determine predictors of cirrhosis decompensation.
- Results showed that the international normalized ratio and albumin levels were significant predictors, but high statistical variability among the studies indicates a need for more rigorous future research to standardize methodologies and improve reliability.
