Dental prophylactic Interventions are Associated with Lower Decompensation-related Hospitalizations over 2 years in Cirrhosis

Key Points

• To evaluate the relationship between dental prophylaxis and hospitalization rates in patients with cirrhosis over a two-year period.
• Analyzed data from cirrhosis patients receiving dental prophylactic interventions.
• Monitored hospitalization rates related to decompensation and other complications.
• Assessed the impact of dental prophylaxis on the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
• Patients receiving dental prophylaxis had significantly lower hospitalization rates.
• There was a notable reduction in decompensation-related hospitalizations over the two years.
• Dental prophylaxis strategies were associated with reduced incidence of HCC.
