Infections in Cirrhosis

• Bacterial infections are more common in cirrhosis than in the general population, particularly among patients with

– Decompensated cirrhosis

– history of previous infections

– Gastrointestinal Bleeding

– Alcoholic cirrhosis (S aureus, E coli)

The risk of bacterial infection in

cirrhosis is due to multiple factors:

liver dysfunction, portosystemic

shunting, gut dysbiosis, increased

bacterial translocation, cirrhosis-

associated immune dysfunction

(AID) and genetic factors.

Tubiana S. et al. BMJ 2017;358: 3776

Dental procedures may contribute to the development of infective endocarditis

in patients with prosthetic heart valves.

However, antibiotic prophylaxis did not significantly reduce

the rate of infective endocarditis associated with oral

streptococci after dental procedures.

possible, ideally before or

endoscopy

(At least 2 of the following: ascites, severe malnutrition,

encephalopathy or bilirubin>3 mg/dL) has been shown to be more

effective than oral norfloxacin in preventing bacterial infections.

Third-generation cephalosporins recommended in patients with

(1) Advanced cirrhosis

(2) Quinolone prophylaxis.

(3) A recent infection due to a quinolone-resistant organism

In recent infection due to extended-spectrum b-lactamase producing (ESBL)

Enterobacteriaceae prophylaxis should be based on antibiotics active against

multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria (e.g., intravenous ertapenem 1 g/day).

Individual patient risk characteristics and local antimicrobial susceptibility patterns be

considered when determining appropriate first-line prophylaxis at each center.

Early Endotipsitis is rare (1%). It is usually related to Gram-positive organisms and the

antibiotic therapy must be

long-lasting (at least 3 months) to avoid recurrence (4). In

patients with uncontrolled or recurrent infection liver

transplant should be considered. There is no

evidence for adopting long-term prophylaxis for the

prevention of endotipsitis.(1) Deibert P et al. Digestive Diseases and Sciences 1998;43:1708–13 (2) Gulberg V et al. Hepato-Gastroenterology 2016;46:1126–30 (3) Ghinolfi D et al. Clinical Transplantation 2016;26:699–705 (4) Navaratnam AM et al. World Journal of Hepatology 2015;7:710–6

Votes in Favour: 100%.

Bacteriemia after TIPS (fever >38.5 ◦C, or leucocytosis >15.0003 and positive blood cultures) ranges between 2–25% (1-4) and in a prospective RCT was not influenced by antibiotic prophylaxis [1]. A longer duration of procedure, multiple stenting and the maintenanceof a central venous line are associated with a higher risk of infectionafter TIPS. In patients with uncomplicated procedure, the trans jugularvenous access should be removed at the end of the intervention [1]. A single dose of long acting cephalosporin reduces the incidence of bacterial infection (20–2.6%) justifying its use in anticipated complexprocedures [2].

Is antibiotic prophylaxis

required for the

prevention of TIPS-related

infectious complications?

Antibiotic prophylaxis may not be routinelynecessary.

A more judicious use of antibiotics isrecommended for patients who are at

increased risk of infection (prior biliary surgery, biliary obstruction, or gallstones, portal vein

thrombosis, diabetes).

Guidelines interventional radiology practice

• There are no randomized control trials to support the routine use of antibiotic prophylaxis, but many operators use it 1-2

• There is empiric support for use of antibiotic prophylaxis in high-risk patients who have previous bilioenteric anastomosis,

biliary stasis/ductal dilation, severe cirrhosis, immunosuppression, diabetes, and concomitant infection 3.

Risk of infection in patients with cirrhosis undergoing EndoscopicRetrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP)?

• ERCP is a procedure carrying a high risk of infectious cholangitis, bacteraemia and pancreatitis in the general population; Antibiotic prophylaxis for patientsundergoing elective ERCP prevents cholangitis, septicaemia, bacteraemia but has

no impact on overall reduction in mortality (I).

Antibiotic prophylaxis for hernia repair

17 trials (7843 participants in total) reported SSI data presenting a single comparison of antibiotic prophylaxis with placebo or no treatment.

Available trial evidence reports that antibiotic prophylaxis probably reduces SSI risk (RR 0.67, 95% CI 0.54 to 0.84) with moderate-certainty evidence.

Antibiotic prophylaxis for preventing SSIs in patients undergoing electivelaparoscopic cholecystectomy

• 11 trials (1664 participants) reported SSI data presenting a single comparison of antibiotic prophylaxis with placebo or no-prophylaxis.

• It is uncertain whether antibiotic prophylaxis reduces SSI risk (very low-certaintyevidence; downgraded twice for risk of bias and once for imprecision - assessedby overview authors).

Overall, a moderate quality of evidence shows that alcohol-based antiseptic solutions are more

effective compared to aqueous solutions in reducing the risk of SSI.

Statement

At present there is no evidence supporting a need for a different schedule of perioperative prophylaxis in

cirrhotic patients. It is recommended to adhere to current Italian (PNLG 2008) guidelines for perioperative

prophylaxis.

Further scientific efforts in this setting are required in the near future (III B).Fagiuoli S et al.Dig Liver Dis. 2014; 46: 204-12

Antibiotic Prophylaxis in cirrhotic patientsundergoing invasive procedures

• The benefits of AP outweigh the risks for those at high-risk, and possibly for those at moderate-risk.

• There are clearly concerns about the promotion of antibioticresistance and the overall costs of healthcare

• What is required is a synthesis of the existing evidence, followed by an honest balancing of the risks and benefits.

Because many factors are beyond the control, a “magic bullet” strategy is often followed to compensate for the difficulty in controlling risk factors.
