Brief Summary: In cirrhotic patients with recurrent hepatic hydrothorax liver transplantation is a definitive treatment But a significant number of individual are ineligible for liver transplantation In these patients to ameliorate the symptoms various treatment modalities such as TIPS serial thoracocentesis pigtail catheter drainage and pleurodesis are used We are doing this study to assess the safety and efficacy of serial thoracocentesis verus pigtail catheter drainage
Detailed Description: Study population - Cirrhotic patients with recurrent hepatic hydrothorax
Study design - A prospective randomized single center open label study
Block Randomization block size - 10
Sample size - Assuming in single time thoracocentesis group 5-367 thoracocentesis is required investigator expect a 50 reduction in pigtail drainage group Apha error- 5 power -90 15 dropout 35 patients in each arm
Intervention - Group 1 - on-demand therapeutic thoracocentensis Group 2 - small volume frequent thoracocentesis using PCD
Monitoring and assessment

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS -

1 Data will be reported as mean SD
2 Categorical variables will be compared using the chi-square test or Fisher exact test
3 Normal continuous variables will be compared using the Students t test
4 Non normal continuous variables will be compared using the Mann-Whitney rank-sum test unpaired data or the Wilcoxon test paired data
5 The actuarial probability of survival will be calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test
6 A Cox regression analysis will be performed to identify independent prognostic factors for survival
7 Univariate and multivariate analysis will be used whenever applicable
Adverse effects - Chest pain pain at the site Breathlessness infection pneumothorax infection bleeding
Stopping rule -

1 Liver Transplant
2 Appearance of SBP PICD HE
3 Mortality
4 End of follow-up
