Causes and outcomes of acute liver failure in China.
<h4>Objectives</h4>No extensive investigation has been performed and thus no representative data are available regarding acute liver failure (ALF) in China. This study aims to investigate the causes and outcomes of ALF in China and establish a prognostic model.<h4>Methods</h4>...
