Figure 1 Study flow diagram. Of 123 intensive care unit hospitalizations screened, 16 were excluded due to early mortality, non-liver related intensive care unit admission, prior transplantation, advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, or missing swabs at admission. The final cohort included 107 patients, categorized as acute decompensation (n = 20) or acute-on-chronic liver failure (n = 87). AD: Acute decompensation; ACLF: Acute-on-chronic liver failure; ICU: Intensive care unit; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; SOT: Solid organ transplant.
