Figure 3 ROC curve to determine the cut-off value of the NLR for the prediction of 2-year mortality in EGVB patients undergoing TIPS. The optimal cut-off values for NLR (A), age (B), and creatinine (B) are 4.9, 63.0 and 71.9 respectively.

Figure 6 Box plots of NLR values at different time points post-TIPS placement. Comparing NLR values at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-TIPS to the previous time point yielded P values of < 0.001, < 0.001, 0.051, and 0.154, respectively.
