Characteristics, management and outcomes of patients with acute liver failure admitted to Australasian intensive care units.

CONCLUSION: POD is the major cause of ALF in Australian and New Zealand liver transplant centres and is a unique and separate form of ALF. It has a much lower associated mortality and treatment with liver transplantation than non-POD ALF. Non-POD patients have a poor prognosis in the absence of transplantation.
