A retrospective analysis of the factors influencing the prognosis of liver cirrhosis combined with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis

Objective To explore the factors influencing the prognosis of liver cirrhosis combined with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis(SBP).Methods Clinical data of 135 patients with cirrhosis combined with SBP were analyzed retrospectively.Cases were divided into alive group(n=88) and dead group(n=47) according to their prognosis.Age,sex,past history of SBP,symptoms and signs,Child-Pugh score,leucocyte in peripheral blood and ascites,complications and important biochemical indicators of the two groups were compared.Results There were significant statistical differences in age,past history of SBP,abdominal symptoms and others(hiccup,deepened jaundice and shock),Child-Pugh score,blood neutrophil proportion,leucocyte and polymorphonuclear(PMN) cells in ascites,complications,and important biochemical indicators(P<0.05,P<0.01) between the two groups.Conclusion Age,past history of SBP,most symptoms and signs,Child-Pugh score,blood neutrophil proportion,leucocyte and polymorphonuclear(PMN) cells in ascite,important biochemical indicators and complications can influence the survival rate of cirrhosis combined with SBP and be used as an important indicators to determine the prognosis of the disease.
