Core Tip
Core Tip: This retrospective study of 165 liver abscess patients with fatty liver undergoing percutaneous drainage identified five independent risk factors for poor prognosis: Advanced age (≥ 65 years), diabetes history, large abscess diameter (≥ 8 cm), hypoalbuminemia (< 30 g/L), and moderate-to-severe fatty liver disease.
