Core Tip	Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is associated with poor prognosis especially with in-hospital patients. The mortality rate ranges from 20%-40%. The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) has been suggested as a predictor of the in-hospital mortality in patients with SBP. However, the role of other predictors has not been established. The goal of this study is to identify other prognostic factors for mortality in decompensated cirrhotic patients with SBP and to evaluate the predictive power of acute kidney injury, MELD-sodium and septic shock.
