Criteria | Presence of acutely decompensated cirrhosis [12] Patient experiences hepatic and extrahepatic organ failures assessed by CLIF-SOFA score [13] CLIF-SOFA score is used to confirm organ failure by investigating the function of the brain, kidney, liver, coagulation, circulation, and respiration [12] Manifestations of acute hepatic decompensation include coagulopathy, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage, and bacterial infections [13] High short-term mortality rate [13]
| Patient with chronic liver disease or cirrhosis (identified or unidentified) [13] Acute hepatic injury evident by jaundice and coagulopathy, the presence of ascites and/or hepatic encephalopathy within a month [13] No extrahepatic organ failures/dysfunction considered [18] Events considered acute insults if they cause acute liver decompensation events such as jaundice, ascites or hepatic encephalopathy, and coagulopathy [12, 18] High 28-day mortality rate [13]
| 2 or more extrahepatic organ failures including grade III and IV hepatic encephalopathy, mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, and shock [13] Presence of acutely decompensated cirrhosis [12]
