Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Lille Index (LI) on day 2 (LI2) and day 4 (LI4) in predicting short-term mortality in patients with severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (SAH) and to assess its concordance compared to the Lille Index on day 7 (LI7).
Patients and methods: This retrospective, observational, single-center study included SAH patients admitted between 2016 and 2023. SAH was defined as a Maddrey score ≥32 and/or a MELD score ≥21. The predictive ability of LI2, LI4, and LI7 for 28-, 90-, and 180-day mortality was analyzed using AUC, Cox regression (Hazar Ratio (HR)), and Kaplan-Meier curves.
Results: Among 65 SAH patients, 62 received corticosteroids. Median follow-up was 722 days. LI2 was associated with a 28-day mortality HR of 33.1 (95% CI: 3.8-287.3), similar to LI7 (HR: 13.2; 95% CI: 2.2-81.2). AUCs for 28-day mortality were 0.818 for LI2, 0.794 for LI4, and 0.809 for LI7 (p>0.05). The proportion of patients classified by prognosis was similar for LI2 vs. LI7 (68.33% vs. 70.97%, p=0.752) and LI4 vs. LI7 (73.33% vs. 70.97%, p=0.771). Concordance between LI2 and LI7 was 85%, and between LI4 and LI7 was 93.33%.
Results: Among 65 SAH patients, 62 received corticosteroids. The median follow-up was 722 days. LI2 was associated with a 28-day mortality HR of 33.1 (95% CI: 3.8-287.3), similar to LI7 (HR: 13.2; 95% CI: 2.2-81.2). AUCs for 28-day mortality were 0.818 for LI2, 0.794 for LI4, and 0.809 for LI7 (p>0.05). The proportion of patients classified by prognosis was similar for LI2 vs. LI7 (p=0.752) and LI4 vs. LI7 (p=0.771). Concordance between LI2 and LI7 was 85%, and between LI4 and LI7, 93.33%.
Conclusions: LI2 and LI4 were comparable to LI7 in predicting short-term mortality in SAH. Earlier calculation, particularly LI2, could anticipate clinical decisions in poor prognosis patients, such as corticosteroid discontinuation or evaluation for liver transplantation in selected cases.
