P-13 COMPARISON OFF DIFFERENT PROGNOSTIC SCORES FOR PATIENTS WITH CIRRHOSIS HOSPITALIZED WITH SARS – COV 2 INFECTION

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and Objectives

Viral infections have been described to increase the risk of decompensation in patients with cirrhosis. We aimed to determine the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on clinical outcome of hospitalized patients with cirrhosis and to compare the performance of different prognostic models for predicting mortality.

Patients

We performed a prospective cohort study including 2211 hospitalized patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection from April 15, 2020 through October 1, 2020 in 38 Hospitals from 11 Latin American countries. We registered clinical and laboratory parameters of patients with and without cirrhosis. All patients were followed until discharge or death. We evaluated the prognostic performance of different scoring systems to predict mortality in patients with cirrhosis using ROC curves.

Results

Overall, 4.6%(CI 3.7-5.6) subjects had cirrhosis (n=96). Baseline Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) class was assessed: CTP-A (23%), CTP-B (45%) and CTP-C (32%); median MELD-Na score was 19 (IQR 14-25). Mortality was 47% in patients with cirrhosis compared to 16% in those without cirrhosis (P<.0001). Cirrhosis was independently associated to death [OR 3.1(CI 1.9-4.8);P<.0001], adjusted by age, gender, and body mass index >30. The areas under the ROC curves for performance evaluation in predicting 28-days mortality for Chronic Liver Failure Consortium (CLIF-C), North American Consortium for the Study of End-Stage Liver Disease (NACSELD), CTP score and MELD-Na were 0.85, 0.75, 0.69, 0.67; respectively (P<.0001).

Conclusions

SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with elevated mortality in patients with cirrhosis. CLIF-C had better performance in predicting mortality than NACSELD, CTP and MELD-Na in patients with cirrhosis and SARS-CoV-2 infection.Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT04358380.
