APASL/AARC — A global consensus on the critical care management of acute-on-chronic liver failure patients: the APASL ACLF Beijing Position Paper

Use serial organ-failure/prognostic assessment, prompt precipitant treatment and early multidisciplinary transplant evaluation. The 104-position-statement consensus complements other ACLF guidance; regional definitions, resources and the certainty of individual interventions must be considered. Do not extrapolate bridging-therapy statements into a universal survival benefit.
