The current study aimed to determine the Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) risk due to increased use of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) among cirrhotic patients with ascites.
This retrospective case-control study was conducted at Chandka Medical College & Hospital, Larkana from March 2013 to February 2014, involving 215 cirrhotic patients with ascites. Paracentesis was performed to distinguish cirrhotic patients with SBP and Polymorphonuclear Neutrophil (PMN) count ≥ 250 neutrophils/mm (cases) and non-SBP with PMN count < 250 neutrophils/mm (controls). The demographic details, history of PPIs use before admission and duration of Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) were inquired and statistical analysis was carried through SPSS Version 23.0.
Increased pre-hospital PPI intake was observed among cirrhotic patients with SBP (69.8%) as compared to those without SBP (48.8%; p = 0.014). The mean duration of PPI use was 19.16 ± 4.772 days, and it was more significant among older cirrhotic patients (p < 0.05). Increased duration of CLD was observed among PPI users, i.e. 20.47 ± 6.305 months vs. 18.95 ± 5.527 months among non-PPI users (p < 0.05).
Our results show that cirrhotic patients with ascites consuming PPIs are more likely to develop SBP as compared to non-PPI users.
本研究旨在确定腹水型肝硬化患者中因质子泵抑制剂(PPI)使用增加而导致自发性细菌性腹膜炎(SBP)的风险。
本回顾性病例对照研究于2013年3月至2014年2月在拉尔卡纳的钱德卡医学院及医院进行,纳入215例腹水型肝硬化患者。通过腹腔穿刺术区分SBP且多形核中性粒细胞(PMN)计数≥250个中性粒细胞/mm的肝硬化患者(病例组)和PMN计数<250个中性粒细胞/mm的非SBP患者(对照组)。询问患者的人口统计学细节、入院前PPI使用史和慢性肝病(CLD)病程,并使用SPSS 23.0进行统计分析。
与无SBP的肝硬化患者(48.8%)相比,SBP的肝硬化患者院前PPI摄入量增加(69.8%;p = 0.014)。PPI的平均使用时长为19.16±4.772天,在老年肝硬化患者中更显著(p<0.05)。PPI使用者的CLD病程更长,即PPI使用者为20.47±6.305个月,非PPI使用者为18.95±5.527个月(p<0.05)。
我们的结果表明,与未使用PPI的患者相比,使用PPI的腹水型肝硬化患者更易发生SBP。
