Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess survival rates in patients with autoimmune liver disease overlap syndromes (AILDOS) compared to those with single autoimmune liver diseases, specifically focusing on liver-related mortality.
  • 22 patients were studied over a median of 3.1 years, showing a 57% survival rate free from liver-related mortality at five years, with differences observed between types of AILDOS.
  • The liver outcome score (LOS) was a significant predictor of mortality for those with AIH-PBC, while the commonly used MELD score and others were not effective in predicting outcomes in either group.
