Core Tip Severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH) is associated with high mortality, yet effective mid-term treatments remain limited. This systematic review exclusively examines survival or mortality at 90-day, synthesizing evidence from eight recent studies. While corticosteroids remain the mainstay of current therapy, their survival benefit appears confined to the first 28 days. In contrast, interventions such as Fecal Microbiota Transplantation and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor have emerged as promising approaches for improving 90-day survival, though further validation is needed. This review highlights the urgent need for innovative therapies and high-quality trials to address mid-term survival in SAH, a critical but underexplored therapeutic window.
