2 ACLF definitions Differences between Eastern (AARC) and Western (EASL-CLIF) Qualification for chronic liver disease Acute insult (AARC) or precipitating event (EA SL-CLIF) - Hepatic vs. non-hepatic - Variceal bleeding - Infection or sepsis Organ failure - Kidney faliure AARC (APASL, 2014) EASL-CLIF consortium (2013) Both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic chronic liver Only cirrhosis diseases Must be new and acute Including those with prior decompensation ( Patients with known previous decompensati on with jaundice, HE, and ascites should be e xcluded. ) Should be hepatic (the core premise of ACLF) Non-hepatotrophic insults like surgery, trau ma, and viral infections if producing hepatic i nsult could lead to ACLF. Variceal bleed per se may not qualify unless it produces jaundice and coagulopathy (need more data) Whether sepsis is a consequence of or a cau se of liver failure is not clear from the current data on ACLF. Do not incorporate organ failure in the definit ion Quite different (higher prevalence, rapid prog ression to tubular damage, and mortality), but Hepatic and non-hepatic Non-hepatic events also qualifies as precipit ants Variceal bleeding also qualifies as precipitants Bacterial infection or sepsis are major events ACLF diagnosis and grading by organ failure Kidney failure and serum creatinine level is im portant in ACLF diagnosis and grading not incorporate into diagnosis Predefined significant mortality rate >33% at 4 weeks >15% at 28-day (increased mortality at 3 mo nths, AASLD/EASL 2011)
3 ACLF definitions Differences between Eastern (AARC) and Western (EASL-CLIF) No data for differences of prevalence, mortality and characteristics of ACLF according to different definitions

5 Patients Inclusion criteria Chronic liver disease patients with acute decompensation Acute decompensation (By CANONIC study definition) Ascites Hepatic encephalopathy GI bleeding Infection Liver dysfunction (bilirubin 3mg/dL) Exclusion criteria Age<18 Absence of any chronic liver disease The presence of HCC The presence of severe chronic extra-hepatic disease Admission for the control of other chronic illness Co-infection of HIV Chronic decompensation of ESLD Less than 28 days follow up Incomplete data
