Brief Summary:
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis SBP is a severe complication of ascites in cirrhotic patients Under clinical experience this condition seems to be more uncommon in Finland The aim of this study was to measure the incidence of SBP in consecutive patients with ascites requiring hospitalization in a Finnish University Hospital
Detailed Description:
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis SBP is a complication of liver cirrhosis with high mortality and low survival rates The incidence of SBP is reported to range from 11-35 in patients with ascites requiring hospitalization Under clinical experience the incidence of SBP in Finland seems to be lower than reported elsewhere Alcohol is the dominant etiologic factor of liver cirrhosis in Finland 90 which might be a factor affecting the incidence of SBP The aim of this study is to measure the incidence of SBP in Finland We included consecutive patients who underwent diagnostic paracentesis for ascites in Tampere University Hospital during 21994 - 121998 and 12005 - 32007 Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis was diagnosed when the ascitic fluid contained over 250 polymorphonuclear cells mm3 regardless of culture and with no evidence of intra-abdominal source of infection eg an abscess or a perforation
