Description
Fang Yan and co-authors build a chart-based tool for predicting a dangerous infection in older patients with advanced liver scarring, in work from 2024. The infection, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, strikes people whose cirrhosis has decompensated, and it is often deadly in the elderly.
The study used records from a Chengdu hospital covering 2015 to 2023, with 337 patients in the training group and 145 in the checking group. Four factors predicted the infection: constipation, fluid buildup in the abdomen, a liver severity score, and a blood marker of inflammation. The resulting nomogram scored well in both groups and in testing, giving clinicians a practical early-warning aid.
