a The median overall survival (survival since diagnosis) was 13 months (95 % CI: 11.2–14.8). b patients with ascites of GI origin group had the worst overall survival (p = 0.001). c The median survival from paracentesis and indwelling catheter drainage (SP-Survival) was 36 days (95 % CI: 29.9–43.0). d Serum albumin concentration significantly affected survival with a normal serum albumin of greater than 30 g/L being associated with an improved SP-Survival (p = 0.02)
