High serum ferritin levels are associated with 2-year development of bacterial infection (BI) in decompensated clinical stage cirrhotic patients. Aalan–Johansen estimator taking both AD episodes without BI and mortality into account as competing events indicates that in decompensated patients, high (Q4) ferritin levels were associated with an increased incidence of clinically significant bacterial infection (BI) development (b)
