Core Tip This is a retrospective study evaluating the association of appropriate and inappropriate anti-microbial therapy on intensive care unit-mortality with special focus on patients with liver cirrhosis. Charts of 1979 patients were available for analysis. Patients with infection had significantly increased in-hospital mortality. Only 9% of patients with infection received inappropriate initial antimicrobial therapy. Multiresistant bacteria were detected in 23% of patients with infection and were associated with increased mortality. Infection increased mortality 2.24-fold in patients with cirrhosis. Patients with liver cirrhosis were at an increased risk to receive inappropriate initial antimicrobial therapy.
