Models to predict the short-term survival of acute-on-chronic liver failure patients following liver transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is featured with rapid deterioration of chronic liver disease and poor short-term prognosis. Liver transplantation (LT) is recognized as the curative option for ACLF. However, there is no standard in the prediction of the short-term survival among ACLF patients following LT.

Method

Preoperative data of 132 ACLF patients receiving LT at our center were investigated retrospectively. Cox regression was performed to determine the risk factors for short-term survival among ACLF patients following LT. Five conventional score systems (the MELD score, ABIC, CLIF-C OFs, CLIF-SOFAs and CLIF-C ACLFs) in forecasting short-term survival were estimated through the receiver operating characteristic (ROC). Four machine-learning (ML) models, i
