Improved survival of cirrhotic patients with infections in Australian and New Zealand ICUs between 2005 and 2017

摘要

Abstract Background Aims Changes in outcomes of cirrhotic patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) with infections are poorly understood. We aimed to describe changes over time in outcomes for such patients and to compare them to other ICU admissions. Methods Analysis of consecutive admissions to 188 ICUs between 2005 and 2017 as recorded in the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society Centre for Outcome and Research Evaluation Adult Patient Database. Results Admissions for cirrhotic patients with infections accounted for 4645 (0.6) of 813?189 non‐elective ICU admissions. Hospital mortality rate (35.5) was significantly higher compared with other cirrhotic patients' admissions (28.5), and other ICU admissions for infection (17.1, p?
