Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims at evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of serum procalcitonin, PEC index, modified Wehmeyer, and Mansoura scoring systems for SBP in cirrhotic patients with ascites


Clinical Trial Description

Based on clinical diagnosis, SBP is commonly underdiagnosed because of its nonspecific or asymptomatic presentation. Therefore, a diagnostic paracentesis should be performed in all cirrhotic patients with ascites who require emergency room care or hospitalization, who demonstrate signs/symptoms suggesting SBP, or who present gastrointestinal bleeding, in order to exclude SBP. Several non-invasive methods were tried in many studies for SBP diagnosis, as alternatives to diagnostic paracentesis, e.g., fecal calprotectin. Moreover, numerous scores were proposed for SBP diagnosis with variable accuracies, such as procalcitonin, ESR, and CRP (PEC) index, the modified Wehmeyer SBP scoring system, and Mansoura scoring system. This study aims at evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of serum procalcitonin, PEC index, modified Wehmeyer, and Mansoura scoring systems for SBP in cirrhotic patients with ascites. participants will be subjected to: Clinical evaluation: medical history and physical examination, Routine Laboratory investigations, Serum procalcitonin, Ascitic fluid study, Ascitic fluid culture with antibiotic sensitivity, Abdominal ultrasonography. The following scores will be calculated: Modified Child Pugh score, MELD score, MELD Na score, PEC index, Modified Wehmeyer score, and Mansoura score. ;
