Data were conducted via linear regression analyses. Models were adjusted by gases of blood (continuous variable), metabolic comorbidities (yes or not, categorical variable, including hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidaemia), Child-Pugh score (categorical variable), and concomitant medications (categorical variable). PVR, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, blood cell counts, and NT-proBNP were regarded as continuous variables. PVR, pulmonary vascular resistance; POPH, portopulmonary hypertension; IPAH, idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide. |
