Table 1 Outcomes of studies included in the scoping review
| Ref. | Population | Type of trauma (if applicable) | Intervention | Duration/number of sessions |
| Ben-Abraham et al[3]; 2003 | Post-traumatic acute liver failure due to blunt trauma (n = 1) | Isolated grade V blunt liver trauma with major hepatic necrosis (1/1) | Molecular adsorbent recirculating system | 3 sessions of 8 hours |
| Rittler et al[4]; 2004 | Post-operative acute liver failure and septic multiple organ failure (n = 5); includes 1 trauma patient | 1 blunt trauma (1/5); no subgroup outcomes reported | Molecular adsorbent recirculating system | Mean 13.4 cycles, 11.8 hours/cycle |
| Monet et al[14]; 2022 | Heterogeneous cohort: Acute-on-chronic liver failure, acute liver failure, post-operative, pruritus, drug intoxication (n = 180) | Trauma listed as 1 of 32 acute liver failure cases; not separately analyzed | Molecular adsorbent recirculating system | Mean 2.9 sessions, 7 hours 33 minutes/session |
| Powell et al[5]; 2024 | Acute liver failure due to trauma, drug toxicity, acute-on-chronic liver failure, others (n = 61) | Includes 8 patients with severe trauma (8/61); trauma-specific outcomes not separately reported | Molecular adsorbent recirculating system, continuous renal replacement therapy, standard medical therapy | 1 to > 3 session (majority 3), 8 hours/session |
