Popis: Background and study aims: To evaluate the impact of intra- operatively measured portal vein pressure (PVP) on mortality in non-cirrhotic bilharzial patients undergoing splenectomy. Methods: The present study is a prospective study that was conducted in Egypt from April 2014 to April 2018. Adult patients with non-cirrhotic bilharziasis who were scheduled to undergo splenectomy were included. Studied cases were divided into a survival cohort and a non-survival cohort. The main objective was the correlation between the incidence of mortality and intraoperative PVP. Results: The present work comprised 130 cases with a mean age of 51.8 ± 6.4 years old. The in-hospital mortality rate was 22.3%, with sepsis as a major cause of death (37.9%). In term of the association between preoperative variables and mortality, survivors had statistically significant lower portal vein diameter (13.6 ± 1.8 versus 15.2 ± 1.8mm; p 14.5mmHg was an independent predictor of death and showed good diagnostic performance for the detection of early postoperative mortality.
