Acute-on-chronic liver failure as a major predictive factor for mortality in patients with variceal bleeding.

Conclusions: In cirrhotic patients hospitalized with variceal bleeding, the prognosis was poor when accompanied by ACLF, especially depending upon CLIF-SOFA score. CLIF-SOFA model well predicted the 28-day or 90-day mortality for cirrhotic patients who experienced variceal bleeding. PMID: 32937688 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
