The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, and alcoholic liver disease, which are the cause of diseases in patients with liver cirrhosis, on length of stays. Patients with cirrhosis of the liver were defined as K740 to K746 using Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service National Inpatient Sample in 2013 and 2014 (Chronic hepatitis B (B180, B181), chronic hepatitis C (B182), alcoholic liver disease (K70, K701, K7010, K7011)). In a total of 147 patients, the difference in cause of diseases according to the characteristics of cirrhosis patients and the effect of cause of diseases in patients with liver cirrhosis on length of stay were analyzed. In the Poisson regression analysis, sex, age, type of medical coverage, treatment outcome (discharge, death) were used as independent variables, and length of stays were used as dependent variables. As a result of this study, patients with cirrhosis were accompanied by the cause of diseases of chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, and alcoholic liver disease. In particular, it was confirmed that patients with cirrhosis with chronic hepatitis C had a 1.2-fold (20%) increase in length of stays compared to patients with chronic hepatitis B. Through the prevention of chronic hepatitis C infection and screening tests for virus carriers, it is necessary to find them in the early stages without any special symptoms, and seek clinical management plans to include them in an appropriate management system.
