What are the EASL cirrhosis stages?

Stage 1 (compensated, no varices): 1-year mortality <1%. Stage 2 (compensated with varices): ~3.4%. Stage 3 (first decompensation): ~20%. Stage 4 (second decompensation): ~57%.

What triggers decompensation?

Ascites, variceal hemorrhage, hepatic encephalopathy, and jaundice are the four classical decompensation events. Each significantly worsens prognosis and changes treatment goals.

How does pre-primary prophylaxis fit into staging?

Stage 1 patients benefit from treating underlying cause to prevent progression. Non-selective beta-blockers at stage 2 reduce decompensation risk by preventing variceal bleeding.
