Full description
Liver cirrhosis is the end spectrum of all chronic liver diseases characterized by advanced fibrosis, scarring, and formation of regenerative nodules leading to hepatic architectural distortion.
Liver cirrhosis is a major cause of health burden worldwide. According to the Global Burden of Disease study, liver cirrhosis caused 1.2% of global disability-adjusted life years and 2% of all deaths worldwide in 2010, the 14th leading cause of mortality.
The progress rate of compensated cirrhosis to decompensated cirrhosis is approximately 58% and once it progresses to decompensated cirrhosis, its mortality rate within 5 years becomes 85% without liver transplantation. Since the progression of cirrhosis is accelerated each time a complication recurs, the management and treatment of the complication are critical in enhancing the quality of life and the life expectancy of patients .
Post-discharge outcomes are an integral component of healthcare, as they may aid in determining the success and longevity of treatment and how clinicians approach future cases .
This study will focus on the short-term outcomes of patients hospitalized with liver cirrhosis to provide insight into methods for future healthcare interventions.
