CLIF-C AD (Acute Decompensation, pre-ACLF)

CLIF-C AD score (Jalan 2015): a mortality model for hospitalized decompensated cirrhosis without acute-on-chronic liver failure from age, creatinine, INR, WBC, and sodium; ≥ 60 is the high-risk band.

Example

Age
65 years
Creatinine
2.0 mg/dL
INR
1.6
WBC
12 ×10⁹/L
Sodium
128 mmol/L

Result: CLIF-C AD 70 — high-risk band (≥ 60, ≈ 50% survival).

What the result means

Bands
< 50 low, 50–59 intermediate, ≥ 60 high risk (≈ 93% / 80% / 50% survival). The companion to CLIF-C ACLF for the pre-ACLF decompensated patient; a prognostic estimate, not an order.

How this is calculated
Formula
CLIF-C ADs = 10 × [0.03·age + 0.66·ln(creatinine mg/dL) + 1.71·ln(INR) + 0.88·ln(WBC ×10⁹/L) − 0.05·sodium + 8]. Five predictors — the EF-CLIF calculator includes INR.
