Bacteremia in cirrhotic patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
aimsIncreased risk of bacterial infection is common in cirrhotic patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). Our study aimed to explore the association of the bacteremia with in-hospital mortality and risk factors of bacteremia in these patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn our retrospective cohort study, we collected data for cirrhotic patients with UGIB admitted to our hospital between August 2010 and December 2010. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcome was bacteremia. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine risk factors for mortality and bacteremia.
resultsA total of 202 patients with cirrhosis presenting with UGIB at the emergency department (ED) were enrolled. Bacteremia was associated with a higher mortality rate (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 9.7; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.9-50.6, p=0.007), whereas shock (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg at ED triage) and bandemia (>0% immature neutrophils of band form) were associated with bacteremia in cirrhotic patients with UGIB (adjusted OR: 5.3; 95% CI: 2.3-12.7, p<0.0001 and adjusted OR: 4.0; 95% CI: 1.6-9.9, p=0.0003, respectively).
conclusionBacteremia in cirrhotic patients with UGIB is one of the major risk factors leading to in-hospital mortality. On the basis of our findings, prevention of bacteremia in cirrhotic patients with UGIB, especially in those with shock and bandemia, is important; thus, adequate antibiotic treatment is suggested.
