Prediction and Risk Factors for Prognosis of Cirrhotic Patients with Hepatic Encephalopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is characterized by recurrence and poor quality of life. Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) mainly occurs in patients with chronic liver diseases and often presents with HE. Several predictive models have been proposed to predict the outcomes of these patients. Our study is aimed at identifying associated risk factors and the prognostic accuracies of predictive models in HE patients with or without ACLF.

Methods

Patients with liver cirrhosis were retrospectively enrolled. Risk factors were evaluated by multivariate regression analyses. The predictive capabilities of models were calculated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses and compared by the DeLong tests. Outcomes were defined as in-hospital mo
