Adverse events after fracture in patients with and without liver cirrhosis

	No LC, %	LC, %	OR (95% CI)*
30-day in-hospital mortality	1.2	2.2	1.61 (1.37 to 1.89)
Septicaemia	2.5	5.5	1.77 (1.60 to 1.96)
Acute renal failure	0.7	1.4	1.63 (1.33 to 1.99)
Medical expenditure, US$†	2212±2550	2500±2743	158 (105 to 211)
Length of hospital stay, days†	8.5±13.8	9.6±10.5	0.22 (0.08 to 0.52)

*Controlled for all covariates listed in table 3.

†t-test showed mean±SD, p<0.0001 for medical expenditure and length of hospital stay; β coefficients and 95% CIs for medical expenditure and length of hospital stay associated with liver cirrhosis were calculated using multiple linear regression.

CI, confidence interval; LC, liver cirrhosis; OR, odds ratio.
