Article Synopsis
- The study focused on finding predictive factors and developing prognostic models for acute-on-chronic liver disease (AoCLD) caused by hepatitis B virus and alcohol consumption.
- Two nomograms, CATCH-LIFE A and CATCH-LIFE B, were created using data from two cohorts, showing strong abilities to predict 28-day and 90-day mortality rates.
- These nomograms can help in identifying high- and low-risk patients, potentially improving treatment strategies and survival outcomes for AoCLD patients.
Background And Aims: The accuracy of model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) and MELD with sodium (MELD-Na) scores in reflecting the clinical outcomes of patients with cirrhosis and portal vein thrombosis (PVT) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of scores in predicting 90-day mortality in patients with cirrhosis and PVT.
Methods: Post hoc analysis was performed in two prospective cohorts (NCT02457637 and NCT03641872).
Background: No reports exist regarding the prevalence of different Na levels and their relationship with 90-day prognosis in hospitalized patients with acute-on-chronic liver disease (AoCLD) in China. Therefore, the benefit of hyponatremia correction in AoCLD patients remains unclear.
Methods: We prospectively collected the data of 3970 patients with AoCLD from the CATCH-LIFE cohort in China.
Background: Chronic liver diseases (CLD), including cirrhosis and non-cirrhotic liver diseases, are globally widespread and create a serious disease burden. Platelet count is a clinically accessible and affordable prognostic indicator of liver disease. We investigated the relationship between platelet count and 90-day prognosis in patients with acute-on-chronic liver diseases (AoCLD).

Methods: We retrospectively studied ten patients with cirrhosis and spontaneous fungal ascites infections, and the clinical characteristics and outcomes were obtained.
