Background: Cirrhosis, an ineluctable development of chronic liver disease,\nstill has high mortality throughout the world despite many advances in physiopathology\nand therapy. This high mortality is closely related to the unpredictable\ncourse of cirrhosis with numerous complications. Objective: To\nevaluate the predictive factors of death during cirrhosis. Materials and methods:\nThis is an observational, descriptive study on cirrhotic patients hospitalized\nin the hepatology unit of the Center Hospitalier Universitaire in\nBouake (Ivory Coast) during the period from January 01, 2018 to December\n31, 2019.

The secondary criteria defined were: history of cirrhosis, reasons\nfor consultation, clinical signs, biological signs, complications of cirrhosis and\nthe treatment received. The relationship between the parameters was expressed\nas an odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and the\nsignificance threshold fixed at.................................
