TL;DR: Using multicenter study data in hospitalized decompensated infected cirrhosis patients, I‐ACLF defined by the presence of two or more organ failures using simple definitions is predictive of poor survival.

TL;DR: Potentially preventable second infections are predictors of mortality independent of liver disease severity in this multicenter cirrhosis cohort.

TL;DR: This large cohort study found that despite similar causes and severity of ALF among patients referred to specialty centers from 1998 to 2013, the proportion of patients listed for liver transplantation decreased and survival improved among those who did not receive a transplant as well asThose who did.

TL;DR: In this paper, a consensus conference defined cirrhosis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) based on a >50% increase in serum creatinine level from the stable baseline value in 12 centers in North America and compared data on 30-day mortality, length of stay in hospital, and organ failure between patients with and without AKI.

TL;DR: Terlipressin plus albumin was associated with greater improvement in renal function vs albumin alone in patients with cirrhosis and HRS-1, and overall survival was similar between groups.
