Overview
Brief Summary
This is a single-center retrospective study. The clinical data of patients with Acute-on-chronic Hepatitis B liver failure who were hospitalized in the Department of Hepatology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2010 to July 2023 were collected.
Detailed Description
The clinical data of patients with Acute-on-chronic Hepatitis B liver failure who were hospitalized in the Department of Hepatology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2010 to July 2023 were collected, including age, gender, HBsAg,HBeAg, serum hepatitis B virus DNA, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, Platelet, white blood cell,neutrophilic granulocyte percentage, neutrophile granulocyte, total bilirubin, creatinine, international normalized ratio,procalcitonin,globulin. prothrombin time activity, 1, 3 - beta glucan D test, Galactomannan test, sputum culture, imaging CT and other indicators. Our study followed up patients with Acute-on-chronic Hepatitis B liver failure with fungal infection during hospitalization to clarify the clinical characteristics and risk factors of fungal infection in the development of Acute-on-chronic Hepatitis B liver failure , and to provide clinical prevention and treatment recommendations for fungal infection in patients with Acute-on-chronic Hepatitis B liver failure . Thus, the prognosis of patients can be improved and the survival rate can be increased.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of participants with invasive fungal infection
Time Frame: January 2010 to July 2023
Invasive candidiasis: isolation of Candida in one or more blood cultures (candidemia) or from normal sterile body fluids. Candida colonization: Candida was isolated in non-sterile fluid without infection. Probable invasive aspergillosis: Detection of Aspergillus by direct examination and/or culture of respiratory specimens under imaging that is consistent with the presence of pulmonary infection. Probable invasive fungal infection(IFI) was defined as the presence of clinical features including lower respiratory tract mycosis (nodules, halo sign, air crescent sign, or cavity on chest CT scan) and a positive aspergillus culture in sputum specimen. In fact, the definitions of probable IFI and IFI are the same, except that probable IFI lacks mycological evidence.
