Brief summary
Our study is a multi-site, prospective, observational study including patients with acute exacerbations of CLD. Approximately 1500 patients from 24 hospitals in diverse regions in China will be enrolled and followed for 3 months. Data about demographic data, laboratory tests, and clinical manifestations, collected through a mobile application, will inform real-time prognostic scores. The aim of this study is to validate the model's real-world applicability in non-specialist hospital settings.
Detailed description
The study is a multi-site, prospective, observational study conducted in 24 hospitals representing different regions across China. The choice of 24 hospitals was based on their representation of diverse geographical regions across China. These hospitals were selected to ensure a comprehensive validation of the screening model's efficacy in varied healthcare settings. Data will be collected through a mobile application, providing real-time prognostic scores for patients. The study is divided into three parts: patient recruitment, in-hospital follow-up, and post-discharge follow-up . Follow-up will last for 3 months. Endpoints will be considered for all-cause death, survival and liver transplantation. The study is planned to enroll 1500 patients from January 2024 to January 2026.
