The present study aims to determine the prognostic factors that impinge on the survival rate of ACLF patients.Methods: A total of 90 patients with ACLF at different stages, with or without CIRCI, were prospectively evaluated.Results: Various clinical factors were found to be significantly different among patients at early, mid and late stages of ACLF, as well as between the same population of patients with and without CIRCI. Specifically, patients at later stages of ACLF and patients with CIRCI had significantly higher Child–Turcotte–Pugh (CTP), Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) and ACLF Research Consortium (AARC)-ACLF scores.
