Information collected included age, sex, etiology of ALF, laboratory tests, PELD score, stage of encephalopathy, and need for liver support devices such as MARS and\/or liver transplant (LT) and survival. A poor prognosis was defined as the need for LT or death.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Twenty patients (10 male patients, 50%) with a median age of 2.6 years (3 days-14.5 y old) were included. Acute liver failure was of indeterminate cause in 5 cases (25%). Within the recognized causes, the most frequent were viral hepatitis (herpes simplex virus, adenovirus, influenza B, Epstein-Barr virus), autoimmune hepatitis, and metabolopathies. Sixty percent presented with encephalopathy at diagnosis. Four patients were aided by a MARS liver support device. Six patients received a total of 7 transplants, all from deceased donors. The rate of spontaneous recovery was 45%. Currently 13 patients (65%) are living, 4 of them with an LT. Six patients died because of ALF. The mean PELD score of patients with spontaneous recovery was 15.31 (5.3\u201327.6) compared with a mean of 29.5 (17.2\u201339.4) in LT patients and 31.55 (15.8\u201352.4) for nonsurvivors (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.013).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>High PELD scores at diagnosis were accurate predictors of a poor prognosis in our patients with ALF.
