Description

Presenters explore commonly encountered clinical scenarios where practice patterns are variable and consensus is often lacking on the appropriate application of guidelines. Experts offer insights from real-world experience and large-scale data to generate consensus on the best clinical practices in the following scenarios: applying portal hypertension guidance to individual patients; improving surgical risk stratification; rethinking spontaneous bacterial peritonitis prophylaxis; and optimizing use of albumin and terlipressin.
