Pathogenic Metagenomic Next-generation Sequencing to Optimize the Diagnosis of Decompensated Cirrhosis Infection
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about clinical application of pathogenic metagenomic next-generation sequencing to optimize the diagnosis of infection in decompensated cirrhotic patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:
-
mNGS testing in optimizing anti-infective drug use in patients with acute decompensation, including response to empiric antibiotic therapy.
-
Proportion of patients with re-compensation.
-
The positive rate of mNGS in patients with acute decompensated cirrhosis and the characteristics of pathogen.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Positive rate of mNGS test in AD patients [at enrolment]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- 28- and 90-day transplantation-free mortality [at 28-day and 90-day after enrolment]
- The rate of development of acute kidney injury and acute-on-chronic liver failure [up to 12 weeks]
- Proportion of hospital readmissions due to infections [up to 12 weeks]
- Proportion of progression to SIRS or sepsis [up to 12 weeks]
- Consistency with blood culture results [at enrollment]
