Lille Model for Alcoholic Hepatitis
Predicts mortality in patients with alcoholic hepatitis not responding to steroid therapy.
The Lille Model risk stratifies patients already receiving steroids for alcoholic hepatitis treatment for 7 days to predict which will not improve and should be considered for other management strategies. All values besides 7-day bilirubin are taken from admission.
Advice
It is known that not all patients with alcoholic hepatitis will respond to steroids, but was not previously known which of the non-responders would have a poor prognosis; the Lille Model helps determine this.
