Abstract
Background
In patients with cirrhosis, there is a clinical concern that the development of protein-calorie malnutrition will affect the immune system and predispose these patients to increased infectious outcomes.
Aims
In this study, we evaluate the effects of malnutrition on the infectious outcomes of patients admitted with cirrhosis.
Materials and methods
This study used the 2011–2017 National Inpatient Sample to identify patients with cirrhosis. These patients were stratified using malnutrition (protein-calorie malnutrition, cachexia, and sarcopenia) and matched using age, gender, and race with 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method. The endpoints included mortality and infectious outcomes.
Results
After matching, there were 96 842 malnutrition-present cohort and equal number of controls. In univariate analysis, the malnutrition cohort had higher hospital mortality [10.40 vs. 5.04% P < 0.01, odds ratio (OR) 2.18, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.11–2.26]. In multivariate models, malnutrition was associated with increased mortality [P < 0.01, adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.32, 95% CI 1.27–1.37] and infectious outcomes, including sepsis (P < 0.01, aOR 1.94, 95% CI 1.89–2.00), pneumonia (P < 0.01, aOR 1.68, 95% CI 1.63–1.73), UTI (P < 0.01, aOR 1.39, 95% CI 1.35–1.43), cellulitis (P < 0.01, aOR 1.09, 95% CI 1.05–1.13), cholangitis (P < 0.01, aOR 1.39, 95% CI 1.26–1.55), and clostridium difficile (P < 0.01, aOR 2.11, 95% CI 1.92–2.31).
Conclusion
The results of this study indicate that malnutrition is an independent risk factor of hospital mortality and local/systemic infections in patients admitted with cirrhosis.
