Inappropriate use of proton pump inhibitors in patients with liver cirrhosis: a cross-sectional study
This study underscores the prevalent inappropriate prescription of PPIs in patients with liver cirrhosis, particularly in those with advanced liver disease or a history of variceal bleeding. Enhancing prescribing practices and adhering to evidence-based guidelines are essential to mitigate the risks associated with PPI misuse in patients with cirrhosis.
