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

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and laboratory data of liver cirrhosis patients complicated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis(SBP),which provide proof for exploring the factors influencing the prognosis of this disease.Methods Clinical data of 68 patients with liver cirrhosis combined with SBP were analyzed retrospectively.Cases were divided into alive group(n=47) and dead group(n=21) according to their prognosis.Child-Pugh score,the Polymorphonuclear(PMN) cells in ascites,important biochemical indicates and complications of the two groups were compared.Results SBP patients had a higher mortality rate.Child-Pugh score,the PMN cells in ascites and Scr value in dead group were significantly enhanced compared with those of alive group.Ascites albumin value and serum sodium level in dead group were significantly lower than those of alive group.But complications in dead group were significantly higher than those of alive group.Conclusion Child-Pugh score,the PMN cells in ascites,ascites albumin value,low serum sodium level,Scr value and complications can influence the survival rate of liver cirrhosis combined with SBP,through which clinical physicians can estimate the prognosis.
