Their deficiencies in both pro- and anticoagulant factors result in a particularly fragile hemostatic system and bleeding complications. While the risk of the particular bleeding complication of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a major clinical concern, the question of whether ICH occurs more frequently in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) compared to a control group and which parameters predict cerebral bleeding, remain unresolved and was the aim of this study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>One hundred two critically ill ACLF patients and 166 patients in the control group were included retrospectively.
