ABSTRACT

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a complication of liver cirrhosis with an increased in-hospital mortality rate. For this reason, the aim of the present study was to examine the main predictors of mortality in order to be able to identify high-risk patients in time and to guide the optimal treatment for prognosis improvement. We retrospectively collected demographic, clinical, laboratory and treatment data as well as data regarding length of stay and cost of hospitalization from 72 patients diagnosed with SBP between January 2010 and December 2019 in the Emergency Clinical Hospital St. Apostle Andrew, Constanta, Romania. Patients were divided into two groups: Those who survived and those who died. Logistic regression was used to identify a possible association between these factors and the increased risk of mortality. Univariate analysis revealed that clinical factors (fever, chills, and hepatic encephalopathy), biological factors such as serum and ascites leukocyte value, polymorphonuclear percentage (PMN), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) value, previous SBP episodes, and the presence of complications such as acute kidney injury (AKI), sepsis, and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with SBP. Multivariate analysis revealed that SIRS (P=0.0010) and fever (P=0.0258) were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with SBP. Findings of the present study suggest that, SIRS and fever were independent predictive factors of mortality in cirrhotic patients with SBP.
