Core Tip Severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH) is characterized by high short-term mortality, yet traditional 28-day endpoints overlook late complications that often determine recovery. This manuscript highlights a systematic review advocating 90-day survival as a more meaningful metric, capturing threats such as infections, renal decline, and relapse. Emerging therapies, fecal microbiota transplantation and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, show potential in this extended window, particularly for corticosteroid non-responders. A proposed two-phase care model, early stabilization followed by recovery consolidation, may bridge the gap between initial rescue and sustained remission in SAH.
