Core Tip This study demonstrates that dynamic changes in C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) during the first week after admission provide superior prognostic value compared to baseline measurements in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). The optimal predictive timepoint was day 7 change from baseline (ΔCAR-7). A novel Chinese Group on Study of Severe Hepatitis B (COSSH)-CAR prognostic model, incorporating ΔCAR-7, baseline Model for End-Stage Liver Disease-Sodium (MELD-Na) score, and hepatic encephalopathy grade, significantly outperformed established scoring systems including Child-Pugh, MELD-Na, and COSSH-ACLF scores. This dynamic biomarker approach offers enhanced risk stratification and may improve clinical decision-making in ACLF management.
