FACTORS INFLUENCING THE OUTCOME OF HOSPITALIZATION AMONG PATIENTS WITH LIVER CIRRHOSIS

Objectives: To identify factors influencing the outcome of hospitalized patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods: Data of patients with cirrhosis aged> 12 years who were hospitalized were included after informed consent were collected using the method of purposive sampling. There was a hospitalization score for "death" and "non-death". Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS version 25. Two-dimensional analysis and binary logistic regression were performed to determine the influence of various prognostic factors such as gender, age, diabetes history, liver cirrhosis etiology, presence of hepatic encephalopathy at presentation, presence of the upper gastrointestinal tract tracheobronchial bleeding and aspiration on the likelihood of death in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. Results: Out of 1,304 patients, 15.7% died during hospitalization. The mean age of the deceased was 58.08 + 14.49 years. Two-dimensional analysis suggested that mortality was significantly higher in the group of patients with hepatic encephalopathy at presentation (p <0.01), without upper gastrointestinal bleeding (p
