Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment Score is a strong predictor of survival in acute-on-chronic liver failure.

CONCLUSIONS: The mortality was high in these severely ill patients, even when they received optimum supportive therapy in the ICU. The finding that the SOFA score and age best predicted mortality shows that the increased mortality was caused mainly by insufficiency of organs other than the liver. FUNDING: none. TRIAL REGISTRATION: not relevant. PMID: 31315795 [PubMed - in process]
