Does it really matter whether we call it ACLF or acute decompensation?

This episode questions whether assigning the label “ACLF” to a deteriorating patient truly alters clinical decisions, or if focusing on the specifics of organ failure and reversibility is more useful. Experts debate the real-world utility of prognostic scores, the clarity (or confusion) created by multiple definitions, and whether the ACLF concept drives urgency, facilitates transplant access, or improves outcomes. A thought-provoking look at where terminology meets bedside care.

Faculty: Tom Marjot (Moderator), Paolo Angeli (Faculty), Julia Wendon (Faculty)
