The 6-wk and 5-d mortality in cirrhosis were 56% and 16% compared to 10% and 0% in patients with schistosomal PPF (<i>P</i> value < 0.000 and < 0.004). The 6-wk and 5-d rebleeding rate in cirrhosis were also high at 53% and 25% com-pared to 32% and 3% respectively in patients with schistosomal PPF (<i>P</i> value < 0.015 and < 0.002). In conclusion the 6-wk and 5-d mortality and rebleeding were significantly higher in patients with liver cirrhosis compared to patients with schistosomal periportal fibrosis.
