FIPS (Freiburg Index of Post-TIPS Survival)
FIPS score (Freiburg index of post-TIPS survival): bilirubin, creatinine, age, and albumin give a score where ≥ 0.92 marks higher post-TIPS mortality.

Example
- Total bilirubin
- 3.0 mg/dL
- Creatinine
- 1.2 mg/dL
- Age
- 60 years
- Albumin
- 3.0 g/dL
Result: FIPS 1.2 — high risk (>= 0.92): higher post-TIPS mortality.
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- < 0.92
- Low predicted mortality after TIPS.
- >= 0.92
- High predicted mortality after TIPS. Note the reciprocal 1/creatinine term. A prognostic index, not a TIPS order.
What you enter
- Total bilirubin
- Creatinine
- Age
- Albumin
