Low adherence to decompensated cirrhosis quality measures shows no link to short-term outcomes; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Ghaoui et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Decompensated cirrhosis (n=149,379). Process-based quality measures adherence was evaluated on Quality indicators met (95% CI 40-51). Adherence to process-based quality measures for decompensated cirrhosis was 45% (95% CI 40-51%) and was not associated with inpatient mortality or 30-day readmission.
