| Core Tip |
The standard treatment of refractory ascites in palliated patients with end-stage liver disease is repeated large volume paracentesis (LVP) with albumin infusion. This study focuses on real-world data comparing the effectiveness and safety of long-term abdominal drains (LTAD) in comparison with LVP. The incidence of acute kidney injury, ascites and drain-related hospital admissions was lower in the LTAD group. There was no difference in the overall survival between the two groups, but time to acute kidney injury, first ascites/drain-related hospital admission and drain-related complications were shorter in the LTAD group. |
