In multivariate analysis, the independent risk factors for overt HE were identified as age (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.036, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.003-1.069, P = 0.032), Child-Pugh score (HR = 1.519, 95% CI = 1.212-1.905, P 0.001), and group assignment (HR = 0.291, 95% CI = 0.125-0.674, P = 0.004). Underdilated TIPS with 8-mm polytetrafluoroethylene-covered stents could reduce the risk of HE and liver function impairment compared with completely dilated TIPS, but not increase the risk of variceal rebleeding, shunt dysfunctio
