Key Words Acute liver failure; Glucocorticoids; Prediction model; Survival; Efficacy
Core Tip This retrospective cohort study of 179 acute liver failure patients demonstrates that glucocorticoid (GC) therapy significantly improves 28-day survival (58.3% vs 30.5%, P < 0.001). An early increase in prothrombin activity ≥ 4.5% by day 3, alongside baseline model for end-stage liver disease score < 28.5 and blood ammonia < 135.5 μg/dL, forms a highly accurate predictive model for GC response (95.2% accuracy). This model provides a practical tool to select patients most likely to benefit from GC treatment.
