| Objective: The aim of the study is to analyse the clinicalcharacteristics retrospectively of liver cirrhosis patients in Rongxian and mastermorbidity factors and related complications of the patients in this area, then tolay a foundation for the prevention and treatment in futher work. Methods: Atotal of1080cases of liver cirrhosis patients in Rongxian People’s Hospitalwere included from2002June to2012March. The characteristics of age, sex,aetiology, complications and death causes were recorded respectively by usingstatistical software. Results: During the past11years, we have analysed datasof1080cases of liver cirrhosis patients, included715males and365females.The male-female ratio was about1.96:1. The interval distribution of age wasbetween10to100. Most patients were51-61years old. Etiology: The numberof hepatitis B liver cirrhosis patients was820(75.93%). Hepatitis C cirrhosishad21cases (1.94%), alcoholic cirrhosis had150cases (13.89%), autoimmuneliver cirrhosis had5cases (0.46%), cryptogenic cirrhosis had44cases (4.07%),and other causes of cirrhosis patients were40cases (3.70%). In1080livercirrhosis patients, different complications happened in a total of612patients,among which, hemorrhage of upper digestive tract was the most commoncomplication with the number of241cases (39.38%), followed by primary hepatocellular carcinoma (180cases,29.41%).The pathogeny led tohepatocellular carcinoma according the incidence from high to low washepatitis B liver cirrhosis (140cases,77.78%), liver cirrhosis (15cases,8.33%), cryptogenic cirrhosis (12cases,6.67%); alcoholic cirrhosis (5cases,2.78%), and hepatitis B and hepatitis C combined infection (2cases,1.11%).
