Figure 1 Outline of the screening and case selection protocol. ACLF: Acute-on-chronic liver failure; CHB: Chronic hepatitis B; HAV: Hepatitis A virus; HCV: Hepatitis C virus; PTA: Prothrombin activity; SAE: Severe acute exacerbation; ULN: Upper limit of normal.

Figure 2 Risk for acute-on-chronic liver failure in patients with severe acute exacerbation with different scores. A: The bars show the proportion of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) for each score category in the derivation, validation, and all-patient populations; B: Kaplan-Meier method compared the cumulative risk for ACLF between the low-risk (0-3 scores) and high-risk (4-7 scores) groups in the all-patient cohort.

Figure 3 Risk for acute-on-chronic liver failure-related death of patients with severe acute exacerbation with different scores. A: The bars show the proportion of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF)-related death for each score category in the all-patient cohort; B: Kaplan-Meier method compared the cumulative risk of ACLF-related death between the low-risk (0-3 scores) and high-risk (4-7 scores) groups in the all-patient cohort.

A: C indices for the score model in the derivation cohort; B: C indices for the score model in the validation cohort. CTP: Child-Turcotte-Pugh; MELD: Model for End-Stage Liver Disease.
