Brief Summary:
Prediction of hepatic encephalopathy after insertion of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt (post-TIPS HE) are critical for patient selection prior to TIPS insertion, and a currently unmet, clinically highly relevant need. In this prospective multicenter observational cohort study, the investigators aim to evaluate the ability of Stroop EncephalApp and the simplified Animal Naming Test (S-ANT1) in comparison to the goldstandard PHES to predict the occurence of post-TIPS HE in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis. Moreover, secondary aims of this study include the detection of potential blood based biomarkers for prediction of post-TIPS HE and the predictive value of frailty and quality of life/sleep prior to TIPS insertion.
