Chronic liver disease-related complications and decompensation events present at the time of diagnosis of cirrhosis; overall and according to etiology.

“Any complications” were defined as ascites, hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and/or variceal bleeding. Other liver-related events were spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and portal vein thrombosis (PVT). Half of the patients (238, 50.0%) had some decompensation event at baseline, with the most common being ascites (199, 41.8%). Cirrhosis due to ALD had the highest ratio of decompensations at baseline (75.4%), especially most variceal bleeding events–absolute and relative to cohort size (39 bleeding events, 18.5%).
