NCT03676777

Brief Summary

This is a national, investigator-initiated, multicenter, prospective, observational, web-based registry in hospitalized patients with cirrhosis across China. The overarching aim of this study is to investigate the epidemiology and clinical impact of bacterial/fungal infections in hospitalized patients with liver cirrhosis in China within the collaborative network. We also aimed to build up the national prospective cohort of hospitalized cirrhosis in China to stand in the future for the backbone of various research programs focused on infection, other complications of cirrhosis, organ failure, the ACLF syndrome, end-stage liver disease and beyond.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 28-day transplantation-free Survival

    Survival at 28-day follow-up without liver transplantation

    From admission to 28-day post-admission

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Characteristics of bacterial/fungal infection including the prevalence of infection, the source of acquisition, type of infection, multidrug resistance rate, antibiotic treatment efficiency and efficacy in relation to disease course and outcome

    From admission to discharge, an average of 28-day

  • Association between bacterial/fungal infection between other complications of cirrhosis、organ failure、AKI or ACLF.

    From admission to discharge, an average of 28-day

  • Difference in type of organ failure between bacterial/fungal infection and other precipitating events.

    From admission to discharge, an average of 28-day

  • ACLF and each sub-type organ failure development at 28-day

    From admission to discharge, an average of 28-day

  • Transplantation-free Survival at 90-day

    From admission to 90 day post-admission

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Population

Hospitalized patients with cirrhosis evaluated in a dedicated and organized tertiary-care center (Liver Unit, Department of infectious diseases, Department of Gastroenterology, emergency department) across China.

You may qualify if:

  • Inpatient with cirrhosis as confirmed either by the histological scoring system, imaging technique (abdominal Ultrasound, CT or MRI), endoscopic findings or a combination of biochemical and clinical manifestation.
  • Admitted for at least one of the following reasons:
  • Bacterial infection/fungal infection
  • Overt Ascites (Grade II-III)
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding
  • Hepatic encephalopathy
  • Jaundice (Total bilirubin ≥5 mg/dL) with coagulation dysfunction (INR ≥1.5)

You may not qualify if:

  • \. Age below 16 or over 80 years
  • \. Lactation/ Pregnancy women
  • \. HIV infection
  • \. Admitted for scheduled procedures (e.g., band ligation, splenectomy, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting, liver biopsy) or re-examination or multidisciplinary consultation)
  • \. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) outside Milan criteria or other disseminated malignancies
  • \. Previous liver transplantation
  • \. With previously known severe extra-hepatic diseases (e.g., chronic renal failure requiring hemodialysis, severe heart disease; severe chronic pulmonary disease, psychiatric disorders)
  • \. Taking immunosuppressive or anticoagulation drugs for the treatment of extra-hepatic disease.
  • \. Patient' s refusal to participation
  • \. Failure to provide prior informed consent or with documented evidence that the patient has no legal surrogate decision maker and it appears unlikely that the patient will regain consciousness or sufficient ability to provide delayed informed consent
