Association between neutrophil percentage to albumin ratio and short term prognosis of acute on chronic liver failure treated with artificial liver support system.

ABSTRACT: The impact of neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) on the outcome of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is scant. A retrospective cohort study was conducted in patients with ACLF treated with artificial liver support system (ALSS). The ACLF was diagnosed according to the Chinese Group on the Study of Severe Hepatitis B-ACLF (COSSH ACLF) criteria. Disease severity was rated according to the COSSH ACLF score. Restricted cubic splines, linear or Cox regression models were used to investigate the relationships of baseline NPAR with disease severity and 90-day prognosis. The 90-day transplant-free and overall survival rates of 258 eligible patients were 58.5% and 66.3%, respectively. The NPAR in transplant-free survivors was lower than that in transplant or death patients (22.8 ± 4.
