Transplantation for EASL-CLIF and APASL ACLF Patients: a Retrospective Cohort Study

The definition and diagnostic criteria of acute-on chronic liver failure (ACLF) differed evidently between the East and the West due to the difference in the underlying etiology. Liver transplantation is the most effective treatment to reverse the progress of ACLF and improve the survival rate of patients. The purpose of this study is to explore the accuracy of the two diagnostic criteria of EASL-CLIF and APASL ACLF in assessing the survival rate of patients with liver cirrhosis after LT.
