Prognostic factors of liver cirrhosis mortality after a first episode of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. A multicenter study.

Introduction: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is an infectious complication with a negative impact on survival of patients with cirrhosis.

Objective: To analyze the short- and long-term survival after a first episode of bacterial peritonitis and the associated prognostic factors.

Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter study of patients admitted to hospital for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis between 2008 and 2013.

Impact of anticoagulation on upper-gastrointestinal bleeding in cirrhosis. A retrospective multicenter study.

Unlabelled: Recent studies have shown that liver cirrhosis (LC) behaves as an acquired hypercoagulable state with increased thrombotic risk. This is why anticoagulation therapy (AT) is now frequently used in these patients. Variceal bleeding is a severe complication of LC.

Factors related to survival in hepatocellular carcinoma in the geographic area of Sabadell (Catalonia, Spain).

Background: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a very frequent tumor. Screening for the disease is effective, but the prognostic factors are difficult to evaluate.
