We analyzed the prognostic value of MELD score in our patients with ALF who were prospectively registered in our database since 1990.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods: <\/jats:bold> Overall, 106 patients met the criteria of ALF. Excluding seven patients with acetaminophen etiology, 99 patients (42\u00b115 years, 40M\/59F) were studied.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results: <\/jats:bold> Causes were cryptogenic (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=38), viral (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=29), drugs (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=20) and miscellaneous (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=12). Of these, 37% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=37) survived with medical management alone (group I), 16% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=16) died (group II) and 46% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=46) underwent liver transplantation (group III). The strongest predictors of poor outcome were advanced encephalopathy, cryptogenic\/drug\u2010induced\/hepatitis B etiology and a high MELD score. At the time of diagnosis, King's College Hospital criteria and MELD score &gt;30 had similar high negative predictive value (92% and 91%, respectively) and low positive predictive value (52% and 56%, respectively). The predictive values improved only slightly during follow\u2010up. The best cut\u2010off point for MELD score to discriminate between survivors and nonsurvivors was &gt;35, with a sensitivity and specificity of 86% and 75%, respectively.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions: <\/jats:bold> MELD score, which mostly takes into consideration the degree of liver impairment, has a similar prognostic value as King's College Hospital criteria to predict outcome in adult patients with nonacetaminophen\u2010induced ALF. Overall, all current scores miss accuracy and therefore there is a clear need for factors that can better predict the regeneration of the liver in this setting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1478-3231.2006.01429.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,26]],"date-time":"2007-01-26T15:44:59Z","timestamp":1169826299000},"page":"329-334","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":83,"title":["MELD
