In another multivariate model adjusted for all confounders (Child-Pugh classification, presence of encephalopathy and ascites, the occurrence of rebleeding, bleed from variceal lesion or unidentified lesion, the initial therapy of tamponade, values of bilirubin, creatine, albumin and prothrombin time, endoscopic and radiological interventions), the infusion of albumin does not correlated with in-hospital mortality. The gene discussed is F2; the disease is Encephalopathy.
