The presence of liver cirrhosis is a strong negative predictor of survival for patients admitted to the intensive care unit - Cirrhosis in intensive care patients.

Background And Aims:  Liver cirrhosis is a systemic disease that substantially impacts the body's physiology, especially in advanced stages. Accordingly, the outcome of patients with cirrhosis requiring intensive care treatment is poor. We aimed to analyze the impact of cirrhosis on mortality of intensive care unit (ICU) patients compared to other frequent chronic diseases and conditions.
