Abstract

Background: Hepatitis B virus related compensated cirrhosis generally has a favorable prognosis until decompensation occurs. Bacterial infections are prevalent in Hepatitis B virus related decompensated cirrhosis.Bacterial infection and decompensated hepatitis B cirrhosis are mutually reinforcing. And it also interacts with and promotes certain decompensation-related events. However, the impact of bacterial infections on the progression from compensated to decompensated cirrhosis in Hepatitis B patients remains unclear.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the baseline characteristics of 1,011 patients with Hepatitis B virus related compensated cirrhosis. Using time-dependent regression analysis, we evaluated whether bacterial infections increase the risk of decompensation, defined as the occurrence of ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding.

Results: A total of 1,011 patients were retrospectively analyzed over a median follow-up period of 79 months. Bacterial infections were observed in 89 patients (8.8%). Respiratory and urinary tract infections were the most common bacterial infections.Decompensation occurred in 44.9% of patients with bacterial infections, compared to 9% of those without BIs. Patients with bacterial infections had a higher risk of decompensation ([OR] 1.024; 95% CI 1.016-1.032; p < 0.001) than those without bacterial infections.

Conclusion: Our findings suggest that bacterial infections have a significant impact on the progression of hepatitis B virus related compensated cirrhosis, notably increasing the risk of decompensation.
