25 23 SUMMARY Dzmitry Haurylenka Bacterial infections in liver cirrhosis: clinical manifestation and outcomes in outpatients and inpatients Keywords: liver cirrhosis (LC), spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), infectious complications, acute kidney injury, liver failure. Objective: to optimize strategy of management the patients with LC and bacterial infections, by improving diagnostic methods, identifying features and clinical consequences of bacterial infections. Methods: clinical, laboratory, instrumental, morphological, molecular-genetic, statistical. The results obtained and their novelty: clinical features and outcome of infectious complications in patients with LC, including groups with kidney injury, with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, outpatient dead is carried out. Various infections are common in patients with LC: in gastroenterology department 44,4% (n=67; 95% CI %) among the died in hospital 41,9% (n=129; 95% CI ), among the ambulatory dead 34,3% (n=24; 95% CI %). While in the hospital more than 7 days after the episode of gastrointestinal bleeding risk of infectious complications in patients with liver cirrhosis increased 10-fold (OR = 9.7, 95% CI , p <0.001). The method of diagnosis of SBP in patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites, and diagnostic algorithm were developed and implemented. In order to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with liver cirrhosis and infectious complications estimated the diagnostic value of the scale to determine the degree of organ dysfunction. Recommendations for use: the algorithm for diagnostics of SBP in patients with LC can be used doctors of all specialties (internist, gastroenterologist, surgeon etc.), dealing with diagnostics and treatment of liver diseases. Applications: gastroenterology, internal and infectious diseases.
