[Usefulness of the follow-up in outpatients affected by liver cirrhosis].
Since 2000 to 2004 we enrolled 80 patients affected by liver cirrhosis: after two year's follow-up in our Outpatients' Department we gained a survival rate of 23%. These data are remarkable because we took care of aged patients (mean age 70 years) with comorbidity (diabetes mellitus, gallstones, hypertension, etc.).
