Deleterious Effect Of Proton Pump Inhibitors On The Disease Course Of Cirrhosis
JOURNAL OF HEPATOLOGY(2020)
摘要
ObjectivesProton pump inhibitors(PPIs) are widely prescribed to patients with liver cirrhosis. We hypothesized that long-standing PPI use is associated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis(SBP) and accelerated development of disease-specific complications and liver-related death.MethodsA 5-year follow-up observational cohort study assessed the impact of long-standing PPI use on the clinical course of cirrhosis in a large referral patient cohort. Three hundred fifty patients with cirrhosis (alcohol:69.1%, Child-Pugh stage A/B/C:206/108/36) were assigned to two groups: regular PPI users (n=196) and nonusers (n=154). Occurrence of SBP, decompensation events (ascites, hepatic encephalopathy and variceal bleeding), and liver-related death were assessed.ResultsRegular PPI use was associated with an increased cumulative probability of SBP compared to nonusers [55% vs. 24.8%, hazard ratio(HR):4.25; P=0.05], in patients without previous SBP episode (n=84). A similar association was found between regular PPI use and decompensation events. The risk of the development of a first decompensation was higher in regular PPI users compared with nonusers, in patients with compensated clinical stage at enrollment (HR: 2.81, P= 0.008, n=146). The risk of liver-related death was also significantly increased among regular PPI users (P<0.001). In multivariate Cox-regression analysis, regular PPI use (HR:2.81, P=0.003) and MELD score (HR:1.21, P<0.001) was an independent predictor of mortality.ConclusionIn the present follow-up cohort study, long-term PPI use was associated with the development of SBP and a progressive disease course in patients with cirrhosis that may have been caused by enhanced pathologic bacterial translocation, accelerated development of bacterial translocation-dependent disease-specific complications, and liver-related death.
