Palliative Long-term Abdominal Drains Versus Repeated Drainage in Untreatable Ascites Due to Advanced Cirrhosis: A Randomised Controlled Trial (REDUCe 2 Study).
Patients will be randomised into one of the 2 groups, then followed-up with fortnightly home visits for 3 months. They will have routine bloods taken and will be asked to complete various questionnaires at the visits. Informal caregivers will also be asked to complete a questionnaire monthly.

In addition, 30 patients, 20 informal caregivers and 20 Healthcare Professionals will be invited for an optional qualitative interview by SHORE-C (University of Sussex) to give their perceptions and perspectives of LTAD and LVP.
