About this study

Given that there are only a few studies on the effects of cirrhosis on trauma patients and none have addressed the impact cirrhosis has on the incidence of infections, it is important that we study this to determine the mortality in cirrhotic trauma patients and ascertain the incidence of infectious complications in these patients. We hypothesize that trauma patients with cirrhosis will have higher rates of mortality and infectious complications.

Read the detailed description

There have been a select few studies addressing the effects of cirrhosis on trauma patients. These studies show an increase in morbidity and mortality. However, there is limitation in the depth and breadth of analysis. The primary aim of this study is to determine the mortality rates in cirrhotic trauma patients with a secondary end-point being the determination of the incidence of infections associated with these patients.

Given that there are only a few studies on the effects of cirrhosis on trauma patients and none have addressed the impact cirrhosis has on the incidence of infections, it is important that we study this to determine the mortality in cirrhotic trauma patients and ascertain the incidence of infectious complications in these patients. PI hypothesizes that trauma patients with cirrhosis will have higher rates of mortality and infectious complications.
