The Clinical Impact of Cirrhosis on the Hospital Outcomes of Patients Admitted With Influenza Infection: Propensity Score Matched Analysis of 2011-2017 US Hospital Data.

Background/objectives: Patients with cirrhosis have liver-related immune dysfunction that potentially predisposes the patients to increased influenza infection risk. Our study evaluates this cross-sectional relationship using a national registry of hospital patients.

Methods: This study included the 2011-2017 National Inpatient Sample database.

The Impact of Malnutrition on the Hospital and Infectious Outcomes of Patients Admitted With Alcoholic Hepatitis: 2011 to 2017 Analysis of US Hospitals.

Goals: We specifically evaluate the effect of malnutrition on the infection risks of patients admitted with alcoholic hepatitis using a national registry of hospitalized patients in the United States.

Background: Malnutrition is a common manifestation of alcoholic hepatitis that affects patient outcomes.

Study: 2011 to 2017 National Inpatient Sample was used to isolated patients with alcoholic hepatitis, stratified using malnutrition (protein-calorie malnutrition, sarcopenia, and weight loss/cachexia) and matched using age, gender, and race with 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method.

The clinical impact of cirrhosis on the postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing bariatric surgery: propensity score-matched analysis of 2011-2017 US hospitals.

: Since there is increasing number of patients with cirrhosis who require the bariatric procedure due to obesity and obesity-related nonalcoholic steatohepatitis fibrosis, we evaluate the effect of cirrhosis on post-bariatric surgery outcomes.: 2011-2017 National Inpatient Sample was used to isolate bariatric cases, which were stratified by cirrhosis; controls were propensity-score matched to cases and compared to endpoints: mortality, length of stay (LOS), costs, and postoperative complications.: From 190,753 patients undergoing bariatric surgery, there were 957 with cirrhosis and 957 matched controls.

The effect of malnutrition on the infectious outcomes of hospitalized patients with cirrhosis: analysis of the 2011-2017 hospital data.

Background: In patients with cirrhosis, there is a clinical concern that the development of protein-calorie malnutrition will affect the immune system and predispose these patients to increased infectious outcomes.

Aims: In this study, we evaluate the effects of malnutrition on the infectious outcomes of patients admitted with cirrhosis.

Materials And Methods: This study used the 2011-2017 National Inpatient Sample to identify patients with cirrhosis.
