Core Tip

Core Tip: Prognostic scoring systems, particularly the Lille model, play a crucial role in the treatment of alcoholic hepatitis by facilitating the early identification of patients who do not respond to corticosteroid therapy. The study by Yang et al highlights the predictive value of Lille model 3-7 and underlines the importance of timely treatment adjustment to minimize complications. The study also highlights the impact of nutritional deficits and renal dysfunction on mortality, suggesting a multidisciplinary approach that integrates early nutritional interventions and nephroprotective strategies to improve patient outcomes.
