Impact of liver cirrhosis on the clinical profile and outcomes in community-acquired pneumonia: A systematic review
was more frequently identified as the causative pathogen of CAP in patients with cirrhosis, and bloodstream infections were also more common. Likewise, risk of intensive care unit admission and mortality was higher in patients with cirrhosis than in patients without cirrhosis (range 11.1%-23.3% versus 8.8%-17.2% and 2.7%-23% compared with 14.4%-34.5%, respectively).DiscussionPatients with cirrhosis and CAP have a poorer prognosis than patients without cirrhosis. Information on the clinical features of CAP in patients with cirrhosis and on risk factors for poor outcomes remains limited.
