Beyond Liver Function: <i>Albuminuria and a novel Child-Turcotte-Pugh-AlbU score improve mortality prediction in medical intensive care unit patients with hepatic encephalopathy</i>
This study demonstrates that incorporating albuminuria into the CTP score, resulting in the CTP-AlbU score, enhances the prediction of mortality in HE patients. This novel scoring system displayed superior sensitivity compared to the original CTP score, suggesting its potential as a tool for predicting short-term outcomes in this patient population.
