Mortality comparison between nSBP and w/o SBP patients.
Mortality within 90 days from baseline in patients with nSBP and w/o SBP considering patients with low MELD-scores (below 15) (A), patients with intermediate MELD-scores (between 15 and 25) (B) and patients with high MELD-scores (over 25) (C). P-values were calculated using the log-rank test. nSBP: nosocomial-acquired spontaneous bacterial peritonitis; w/o SBP: without spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.

Mortality comparison between nSBP resolved and never SBP patients.
Mortality within 90 days from baseline in never SBP and nSBP resolved patients considering patients with low MELD-scores (below 15) (A), patients with intermediate MELD-scores (between 15 and 25) (B) and patients with high MELD-scores (over 25) (C). P-values were calculated using the log-rank test. nSBP resolved: resolved nosocomial-acquired spontaneous bacterial peritonitis; never SBP: no history of current or past spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
