Core Tip	Our data showed that lower expression of circulating mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells indicates poor prognosis of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related liver failure. We conclude that MAIT cells are a new reliable marker for predicting the prognosis for HBV-related liver failure patients and helpful for clinical decision-making.
