ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Cirrhosis is associated with an increased risk for both bleeding and venous thromboembolic (VTE) complications. The data regarding the impact of etiology of cirrhosis on VTE risk is poorly understood.

METHODS:

In this retrospective observational analysis of the US Nationwide readmissions database 2019, we identified hospitalized patients who had cirrhosis from alcohol, viral, or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) etiologies. We identified patients who had acute VTE, chronic/history of VTE, and portal venous thrombosis (PVT). Overall VTE risk was defined as the composite of acute and chronic VTE or PVT. The impact of etiology of cirrhosis on the crude and risk adjusted rates of VTE and PVT was studied.

RESULTS:

Of 432,383 patients with cirrhosis, 41.4% patients had NASH-cirrhosis, 39.7% had alcohol-related cirrhosis, and 18.9% had viral cirrhosis. The overall VTE rate was highest in patients with NASH cirrhosis (10.8%) followed by viral cirrhosis (9.7%) and alcohol-related cirrhosis (7.5%; P < 0.001). Similar results were observed for acute and chronic VTE. After risk adjustment, patients with NASH (OR 1.48 95% CI 1.42-1.54) and viral cirrhosis (OR 1.22 95% CI 1.17-1.29) had significantly higher overall VTE risk compared with alcohol-related cirrhosis. When separately evaluated, the adjusted risk for acute and chronic VTE was similar between patients with alcohol-related and viral cirrhosis but higher with NASH cirrhosis. PVT rate was highest with viral cirrhosis (4.3%) followed by NASH (2.8%) and alcohol-related cirrhosis (2.4%; P < 0.001). The adjusted risk of PVT was higher with viral (OR 1.61 95% CI 1.50-1.72) and NASH cirrhosis (OR 1.41 95% CI 1.31-1.52).

CONCLUSION:

NASH cirrhosis was associated with a higher VTE risk compared with alcohol-related and viral etiologies. As NASH cirrhosis increases in prevalence as the major etiology of cirrhosis, it is important to understand the increased VTE risk associated with this condition to improve management strategies and patient outcomes.
