Official title
A Pilot Study of the Effect of Prophylactic Antibiotics on Hospitalized Patients With Advanced Cirrhosis
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
In this pilot study, the investigators aim to assess feasibility of subject identification and data collection, including specimen processing, as well as the rate of enrollment for a future, larger study of the effect of empiric antibiotics for all patients with advanced cirrhosis admitted to the hospital without an existing indication for new antibiotic use. Specifically, the investigators will assess the incidence of infection after the time of enrollment and associated outcomes. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive antibiotics vs placebo.
