Patient Portal Use and Risk of Readmissions in Decompensated Cirrhosis: Retrospective Study.

Passive use of the patient portal is very high but is not associated with the risk of readmissions in people with decompensated cirrhosis. However, moderately active use of the patient portal is associated with a reduced risk of readmissions. Further work is needed to identify possible confounders and refine key use behaviors that may be protective with regard to the risk of readmission in this population.
