Abstract:

Objective To investigate the risk factors of decompensated liver cirrhosis in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis(PBC),and to provide an evidence-based medicine reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods The clinical data of 115 PBC patients,including 72 compensated patients and 43 decompensated patients,were collected retrospectively. The correlations of decompensated liver cirrhosis with biochemical indices [albumin(Alb),globulin(Glb),total bilirubin (TB),alkaline phosphatase (ALP),gamma-glutamyltransferase(GGT),total bile acid(TBA),alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)],coagulation index [prothrombin time(PT)],immunological indices(IgM,IgG,IgA and γ-Glb),autoantibodies [anti-soluble acidic nuclear protein 100(sp100) antibody,anti-nuclear pore glycoprotein 210(gp210) antibody and anti-centromere antibody] and Mayo risk score were analyzed. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for predicting decompensation in PBC patients. Results Compared with compensated patients,the decompensated patients had higher levels of TB,TBA,PT,γ-Glb,IgA,IgG and Mayo risk score,but they had lower levels of Alb and GGT (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance for the levels of Glb,ALP,ALT,AST and IgM and the positive rates of anti-sp100 antibody,anti-gp210 antibody and anti-centromere antibody between the 2 groups(P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Alb<34.5 g/L [odds ratio (OR)=4.458,95% confidence interval (CI) 1.019-19.501],IgA>3.09 g/L(OR=15.41,95%CI 2.868-82.786),Mayo risk score >5.04 (OR=15.7,95%CI 2.653-92.907)were independent risk factors for predicting decompensation. The areas under receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves of Alb,IgA and Mayo risk score were 0.881,0.700 and 0.860,respectively. The area under ROC curve of the combined determination of Alb,IgA and Mayo risk score was 0.912. Conclusions Alb<34.5 g/L,IgA >3.09 g/L and Mayo risk score >5.04 and the probability of Alb,IgA and Mayo risk score combined determination >0.45 play roles for predicting decompensation in patients with PBC.
