Summary

Cirrhotic patients have a high risk of bacterial infection. These infections induce systemic inflammation that can lead to acute liver failure or even acute liver failure associated with multi-visceral failure (Acute-to-Chronic Liver Failure, ACLF) associated with an increased risk of short-term mortality in this population.

The most common infections are spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and urinary tract infections, followed by pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infections and spontaneous bacteremia.

In order to cope with the growing risk of resistant bacterial infections, recommendations from the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) were issued in 2014 and are followed by physicians treating cirrhotic patients. These recommendations advocate taking into account different parameters regarding the best therapeutic strategy to adopt. The site of the infection, the mode of acquisition or the presence or absence of prophylaxis may modify this therapeutic approach to infections of cirrhotic patients to a greater or lesser extent. However, the ecology of a center varies over time, according to the practices of the hospital center and to the different patients in care. It is recommended to update the antibiotic resistance data in order to propose the best therapeutic strategy for these patients.

The study of bacterial resistance in a given care center makes it possible to adapt the recommendations published by EASL in 2014 to the local ecology and to set up protocols of probabilistic antibiotic therapy adapted for a better efficiency.

This descriptive cohort study will determine the local ecology of the center. This will enable the center to assess if the recommended antibacterial strategies correspond to the center bacterial ecology.

Conditions

  • Cirrhosis

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Bacterial samples from blood or peritoneal liquids

For each cirrhotic patient hospitalized for a bacterial infection, a blood sample or a peritoneal liquid sample was collected and analyzed for susceptibility, as it is performed in the standard of care. Our department receives only the bacterial results. We will then describe the bacterial ecology of the center cirrhotic population in terms of infection acquisition mode, infection site, infection etiology but also drug-resistance.
