Article Synopsis
- Periodontitis is commonly diagnosed in patients with ascitic decompensated liver cirrhosis, found in 82% of the study group compared to 59% in a control group, suggesting a strong correlation between the two conditions.
- The study utilized PCR testing on gingival samples, ascites, and stool but found no evidence of specific periodontitis pathogens in ascites, although some were present in stools and gums.
- Patients with periodontitis showed a significantly higher survival rate and transplant-free survival compared to those without, indicating a potential protective effect of periodontitis in this cohort.
