CLIF-C ACLF (acute-on-chronic liver failure)

CLIF-C ACLF (Jalan 2014): the six-organ CLIF-OF sub-score (6–18) plus age and white-cell count → a 0–100 acute-on-chronic-liver-failure mortality score.

Example

Liver — bilirubin sub-score
2
Kidney — creatinine sub-score
3
Brain — West Haven HE sub-score
2
Coagulation — INR sub-score
1
Circulation — MAP / vasopressor sub-score
2
Respiration — PaO2/FiO2 sub-score
1
Age
55
White-cell count
12

Result: CLIF-C ACLF 54 (CLIF-OF organ-failure sub-score 11/18): a higher score indicates higher short-term mortality in acute-on-chronic liver failure.

What the result means

CLIF-OF
six organ systems (liver, kidney, brain, coagulation, circulation, respiratory) each 1-3, total 6-18; circulation scores 3 for vasopressor use.

What you enter

  • Liver — bilirubin sub-score
  • Kidney — creatinine sub-score
  • Brain — West Haven HE sub-score
  • Coagulation — INR sub-score
  • Circulation — MAP / vasopressor sub-score
  • Respiration — PaO2/FiO2 sub-score
  • Age (years)
  • White-cell count (×10⁹/L)
How this is calculated
Formula
CLIF-C ACLF = 10 x [0.33 x CLIF-OF + 0.04 x age + 0.63 x ln(WBC) - 2], 0-100; higher means higher short-term mortality.
