Trends and outcomes of mechanically ventilated cirrhotic patients in the United States from 2005-2014.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Cirrhotic patients in organ failure are frequently admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) to receive invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). We evaluated the trends of hospitalizations, in-hospital mortality, hospital costs, and hospital length of stay (LOS) of IMV patients with cirrhosis.

Methods

We analyzed the United States National Inpatient Sample from 2005-2014. We selected discharges of IMV adult (≥18 years) patients with cirrhosis using the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Edition, Clinical Modification codes. Trends were assessed using linear regression and joinpoint regression.

Results
