Risk factors for in-hospital mortality in cirrhotic patients with oesophageal variceal bleeding

Abstract

Cirrhotic patients with OVB and MELD of 18 or more, platelets of 100/ml or less and requiring transfusion of 2 or more units of PRBC were at an increased risk of IHM. Overall, the logistic regression model correctly predicts 82.2% of IHM patients.
