TASK DEFINITION: Given a passage with a question and an answer to that question, classify if the answer actually answers the question into 'yes' or 'no'. Output 'yes' if the answer answers the question and output 'no' if the answer does not answer the question.
PROBLEM: Question: Is terlipressin more effective in decreasing variceal pressure than portal pressure in cirrhotic patients?
Answer: Our results demonstrate that terlipressin produces significant and prolonged decreases in variceal pressure and variceal wall tension and has intrinsic effects on portal pressure and systemic hemodynamics. Variceal pressure provides a better assessment of the effects of terlipressin administration on esophageal varices than hepatic venous pressure gradient.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Question: Are clinical and serum-based markers associated with death within 1 year of de novo implant in primary prevention ICD recipients?
Answer: Individuals with more comorbidities and elevation of specific serum biomarkers were at increased risk of all-cause mortality despite being deemed as having a reasonable 1-year life expectancy. A simple risk score composed of readily available clinical data and serum biomarkers may better identify patients at high risk of early mortality and improve patient selection and counseling for primary prevention ICD therapy.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Question: Does bolus administration of eltanolone , thiopental , or etomidate affect systemic vascular resistance during cardiopulmonary bypass?
Answer: The reason for the significant reduction of the arterial pressure attributed to anesthetic induction by eltanolone may be more a cardiodepressive effect than a direct vasodilation.

SOLUTION:
no
