Erythromycin versus neomycin in the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhosis: a randomized double-blind study

Table 4 Correlations between in-hospital days and other variables at admission

Variables	GCS	MELD	HEI	HEG	CRP	NH₃
IHD (R)	−0.480	−0.040	0.440	0.526	0.454	0.120
IHD (p)	0.007	0.840	0.015	0.028	0.015	0.520

IHD (R) = Spearman rank correlation coefficient with in-hospital days. IHD (p) = p value of the Spearman rank correlation with in-hospital days. GCS = Glasgow coma scale. HEI = hepatic encephalopathy index. HEG = hepatic encephalopathy grade. CRP = C reactive protein (mg/dl). NH₃ = serum ammonia (μM/l).
