Possible Predictors of Adverse Outcomes in Children with Acute Viral Hepatitis in a Low-Middle-Income Country
Hepatitis A virus is the leading cause of AVH, and the overall prognosis is good. The mortality rate was notably higher among boys. Splenomegaly, ascites, bleeding manifestations, hemolysis, pleural effusion, features of encephalopathy and acute liver failure, raised serum bilirubin, prolonged PT and INR, and low albumin would serve as possible predictors of mortality in pediatric AVH.
