LiverLearning®: 2021 Webinar: Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) in Alcohol-associated Liver Disease (ALD)

Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) and alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) is the leading etiology for acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and need for liver transplantation. ACLF has a high short term mortality due to multiple organ failure. Further, criteria for patient selection for liver transplantation are heterogeneous especially in those with ALD and AH.Juan Pablo Arab Juan Pablo Arab, MD is an assistant professor of medicine at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile School of Medicine.

Fibrosis‐4 Predicts the Need for Mechanical Ventilation in a National Multiethnic Cohort of Corona Virus Disease 2019

Richard K. Sterling, Dongho Shin, Yongyun Shin, Evan French, Michael P. Stevens, Jasmohan S. Bajaj, Marjolein DeWit, Arun J. Sanyal – 28 April 2021 – Simple tests of routine data are needed for those with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which causes corona virus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), to help identify those who may need mechanical ventilation (MV). In this study, we aimed to determine if fibrosis‐4 (FIB‐4) is associated with the need for MV in patients with COVID‐19 and if there is an association to determine the optimal FIB‐4 cutoff.
