This study aimed to determine the frequency of available complications in patients with liver cirrhosis and any dependence according to the Child-Pough score. A retrospective study of cases with newly diagnosed liver cirrhosis was conducted in the Gastroenterology Clinic of UMBAL Pleven from 2017 to 2021. Of them, 258 (71.5%) were men and 103 (28.5%) were women. The mean age of the studied population was 57.8 years ± 11.4 years. The leading aetiology was alcohol in 244 (67.6%) of them. All cases were classified according to Child-Pough score system into three groups: Child A 98(27%), Child B 141(39%), and Child C 122(34%). Ours findings show that the occurrence of ascites is most common in the studied population at 232 (64.5%). Esophageal varices were found in 164 (62.4%) patients out of 264 who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Portal encephalopathy was found in 170 (47.09%), with a predominance of the minimal in 116 (68.23%) of them. Jaundice was found in 124 (34.34%), and more of them were in Child C.
