Abstract
Purpose. To assess the risk of readmission and death in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis who continue to drink alcohol based on the phosphatidylethanol level. Materials and methods: A study involved 112 patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis. On the first day of hospitalization, patients underwent a clinical examination, general and biochemical blood analysis, coagulation profile, blood sampling was performed to determine the level of phosphatidylethanol and assessment of the severity of liver cirrhosis on the Child-Pugh scale. A year after the date of hospitalization, a survey was conducted among patients to identify the presence of repeated hospitalizations or a fatal outcome, depending on the results of which patients were divided into groups with favorable and unfavorable course of liver cirrhosis. A ROC analysis of the relationship between the level of phosphatidylethanol and the course of liver cirrhosis was performed. Result: A total of 112 men were included in the study, with an average age of 50.5 years. Of these, 74 patients had a favorable course of liver cirrhosis and 38 unfavorable (36 had readmissions, 18 had a fatal outcome). The average level of phosphatidylethanol was higher in patients with fatal outcome and readmissions compared with patients with a favorable course of liver cirrhosis. In patients who continue to drink alcohol, the risk of readmissions and death during the year increases by almost 5 (p= 0.0005) and 4 (p= 0.04) times, respectively. Conclusion: In patients with alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver, alcohol abuse according to the results of the phosphatidylethanol test is associated with a higher risk of repeated hospitalizations and death within 1 year.
