Risk of acute liver failure in patients with drug-induced liver injury: evaluation of Hy's Law and a new prognostic model.
The researchers aimed to develop a highly sensitive model to identify drug-induced liver injury (DILI) patients at increased risk of acute liver failure (ALF). negative predictive value (0.99), but low level of sensitivity (0.68) and positive predictive value (0.02). Their model, comprising data on platelet count and total bilirubin level, identified patients with ALF with a C statistic of 0.87 and enabled calculation of a risk score (Drug-Induced Liver Toxicity ALF Score).
