Risk factors and prognostic impact of new decompensated events in hospitalized patients with decompensated cirrhosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Decompensated cirrhosis (DC) is prone to recurrent episodes of decompensation following the initial event. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for subsequent decompensation and assess their impact on the outcomes of patients hospitalized for DC.

Methods

Patients with DC were divided into two groups based on the occurrence of new decompensated events during hospitalization. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify risk factors for new decompensation. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the relationship between new decompensation and short-term mortality risk in these patients.

Results

The study cohort consisted of 339 patients with DC, with a median age of 57 years. During hospitalization, 83 patients (24.5%) experi
