Independent Factors Associated With Early Outcome in Chinese Cirrhotic Patients After Cessation of Initial Esophageal Variceal Hemorrhage

Abstract

This study provides evidence that the incidence of early mortality after cessation of initial EV bleeding is significantly associated with bacterial infection and rebleeding. Rebleeding can increase the possibility of infection. Therefore, prevention of infection and rebleeding plays a major role in improving the early outcome in Chinese cirrhotic patients with EV bleeding.
