Overview

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a potentially life threatening complication in patients with cirrhosis and has typically been described in hospitalized patients.The prevalence of SBP in cirrhotic patients with ascites admitted to the hospital ranges from 10%-30%.[1].Studies have demonstrated a 12% incidence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in patients admitted with decompensated cirrhosis. 2 studies examining asymptomatic patients presenting for a therapeutic paracentesis showed a combined 2.5% incidence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.Overall one-year mortality rate after a first episode of SBP is 30%-93% regardless of its recurrence.The mean age of presentation of SBP was 49 years.In patients with ascites both sexes are affected equally.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

  • The prevalence of SBP in cirrhotic patients with ascites admitted to the hospital ranges from 10%-30%. [2]
  • About 50% of cases are present at the time of hospitalization and 50% develop during the hospitalization.

Incidence

In hospitalized patients

In outpatient clinic ED setting

Mortality rate

  • The in-hospital mortality for SBP ranges from 10%-50% depending on many factors.
  • Mortality is 20% even in treated SBP patients.
  • Overall one-year mortality rate after a first episode of SBP is 30%-93% regardless of its recurrence.
  • The effect of SBP on the mortality of cirrhotic patients with ascites is low in those surviving more than 90 days after the first SBP event.[6]

Age

  • SBP is common in age group of 41–50 years and the mean age of presentation was 49 years.[7]

Gender

  • In patients with ascites both sexes are affected equally.[7]
