Article Synopsis
- The study focused on acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in Thailand, aiming to collect epidemiological data and validate a scoring system to predict mortality rates among affected patients.
- The research included data from 638 hospitalized patients, revealing a 54% incidence of ACLF, primarily due to alcoholism and sepsis, with significant differences in 30-day mortality rates between ACLF (58%) and acute decompensated liver disease (46%).
- Results showed that the CLIF-SOFA score was effective in predicting mortality risk in ACLF patients, and those with multiple organ failures faced higher short-term mortality.
