| Core Tip |
Although acute liver failure (ALF) from dengue infection is rare, its consequences are severe, often resulting in high mortality. Timely identification of at-risk individuals and prompt intervention are crucial for optimizing clinical outcomes. Parameters such as international normalized ratio, bilirubin, albumin, and creatinine were independent predictors associated with ALF and mortality. Incorporating these parameters into prognostic models, the model for end-stage liver disease score was the most reliable predictor of ALF and mortality in dengue-infected patients. Additionally, the easy albumin-bilirubin score, a simpler metric, exhibited excellent predictive performance, indicating its potential as an alternative prognostic tool in this patient population. |
