Outcomes of Portal Vein Thrombosis in Smokers With and Without Cirrhosis and Predictors of Mortality : A Nationwide Assessment

Copyright © 2023, Kumar et al..

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a rare condition that can lead to numerous complications, like variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, and chronic liver disease. PVT has various etiologies, including liver disease, infections, and hyper-coagulable disorders. Cirrhosis, a chronic progressive liver condition characterized by liver fibrosis, is one of the risk factors for the development of PVT. Secondly, smoking also increases the risk of PVT. The aim of this study is to identify outcomes in patients with PVT who smoked with and without cirrhosis. This study was performed using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database for the years 2016, 2017, and 2018. The study identified 33,314 patients diagnosed with PVT who smoked, of which 14,991 had cirrhosis, and 18,323 did not have cirrhosis. Patients with PVT and cirrhosis had significantly higher in-hospital mortality, upper gastrointestinal bleeds, acute kidney injury, and peritonitis compared to patients without cirrhosis. The results of the study show that patients with PVT and cirrhosis who smoke have a higher risk of unfavorable outcomes.
