Summary, Etc.  

요약Alcohol-associated hepatitis is a severe condition in patients with heavy alcohol use. It is characterized by acute onset of jaundice, and complications such as ascites and hepatic encephalopathy (1). These patients often develop bacterial infections which can negatively impact their outcomes (2). When the infection was acquired relative to being admitted to the hospital can possibly predict negative outcomes including intubation, development of septic shock, and multiorgan failure. We hypothesize that patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis who present with an infection at admission versus those that develop infection during hospitalization have different clinical outcomes. Overall, there is no difference between the two groups among the different clinical outcomes. Furthermore, there are more infections presented at admission than developed during hospitalization. These findings may indicate that the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center may place great importance on infection control and preventing hospital acquired infections. While this is the case, this study suggests that outside hospitals should focus on preventing infections in their facilities to prevent poor outcomes in patients when transferred to other hospital systems.
