[Cox regression analysis of predictive factors of hepatorenal syndrome].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the predictive factors and the best prognostic parameter of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS).


METHODS
71 patients with cirrhosis who underwent HRS were included for multivariate Cox regression analysis. 35 possible predictive factors that included clinical and biochemical features contributing to the survival of these patients were analyzed.


RESULTS
Only Child-Pugh's score at the time of diagnosis was the only dependent risk factor of HRS, RR=1.333, 95% CI (1.026, 1.731).


CONCLUSIONS
Child-Pugh's score at the time of diagnosis of HRS is the best parameter for predicting the clinical outcome of HRS.
