Critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) is known to be a common complication in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). However, factors that predict the survival rate of ACLF patients remain unclear. The present study aims to determine the prognostic factors that impinge on the survival rate of ACLF patients.
