Background & Aims: Utility, a major principle for allocation in the context of transplantation, is questioned in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure grade 3 (ACLF-3) who undergo liver transplantation (LT). We aimed to explore long-term outcomes of patients included in a three-centre retrospective French study published in 2017.
Method: All patients with ACLF-3 (n = 73), as well as their transplanted matched controls with ACLF-2 (n = 145), 1 (n = 119) and no ACLF (n = 292), who participated in the Princeps study published in 2017 were included.
Introduction: Severe alcohol-related hepatitis (AH) is associated with an increased risk of infection, but the impact of pneumonia has not been specifically analyzed in a specific cohort.
Methods: All patients admitted for severe AH between 2002 and 2020 were prospectively included. Systematic screening for infection was performed at admission and renewed in the case of clinical suspicion.
Background And Aims: Because of the extensive use of this drug, further evaluation of acute liver injury (ALI) with therapeutic doses of acetaminophen (APAP; ≤6 g/d) is required. We characterize ALI with therapeutic doses of APAP and determine the host factors associated with disease severity and the predictors of outcome.
Approach And Results: All patients admitted with severe APAP-related ALI in our center were included from 2002 to 2019, either attributable to therapeutic doses or overdose.
