Prognostic Significance of End-Stage Liver Diseases, Respiratory Tract Infection, and Chronic Kidney Diseases in Symptomatic Acute Hepatitis E.

ABSTRACT: Symptomatic hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is sporadic, and usually occurs in a limited number of infected patients, which hinders the investigation of risk factors for clinical outcomes in patients with acute HEV infection. A retrospective cohort study enrolling 1913 patients with symptomatic acute hepatitis E in Beijing 302 Hospital from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2018 was conducted. The baseline characteristics, clinical features and laboratory data of these HEV infection cases were analyzed. Albumin (ALB), platelet (PLT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin (T-BiL), international normalized ratio (INR) and serum creatinine (SCR) levels, along with the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, hospitalization days, co-morbidity number and mortality were taken a
