About this trial

In this study, we aim to identify gut microbiomes specific to patients with chronic refractory liver disease and to conduct a gut-liver axis study on the pathogenesis and disease progression.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Chi-square test

Using the Galaxy platform, perform taxonomic profiling followed by LDA(Linear Discriminant Analysis ) analysis. Group by primary diagnosis and derive the LDA(Linear Discriminant Analysis) Effect Size, or utilize MaAsLin2(Microbiome Multivariable Association with Linear Models 2) to identify genera/species showing significant compositional changes between diseases.

Time frame
Before treatment, 3~12months after treatment
2

t-test

Using the Galaxy platform, perform taxonomic profiling followed by LDA(Linear Discriminant Analysis) analysis. Group by primary diagnosis and derive the LDA(Linear Discriminant Analysis) Effect Size, or utilize MaAsLin2(Microbiome Multivariable Association with Linear Models 2) to identify genera/species showing significant compositional changes between diseases.

Time frame
Before treatment, 3~12months after treatment
3

Pearson's coefficient

Using the Galaxy platform, perform taxonomic profiling followed by LDA(Linear Discriminant Analysis) analysis. Group by primary diagnosis and derive the LDA(Linear Discriminant Analysis) Effect Size, or utilize MaAsLin2(Microbiome Multivariable Association with Linear Models 2) to identify genera/species showing significant compositional changes between diseases.

Time frame
