Clinical Scorecard: A machine learning approach for predicting 90-day mortality in acute-on-chronic liver failure associated with hepatitis B virus: emphasizing the significance of the CALLY index

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionHepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF)
Key MechanismsIntegration of the C-reactive protein-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index for mortality prediction
Target PopulationPatients aged 18–80 with HBV-ACLF
Care SettingICU and critical care settings

Key Highlights

  • 90-day mortality rate in HBV-ACLF is high and requires early risk stratification.
  • The CALLY index improves risk stratification compared to traditional models like MELD.
  • LightGBM model demonstrated strong discriminative performance with AUCs up to 0.940.
  • SHAP analysis identified INR as the strongest predictor of mortality.
  • A user-friendly online tool was developed for clinical implementation.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Diagnosis of HBV-ACLF according to the 2018 Chinese liver failure criteria.

Management

  • Early risk stratification and allocation of ICU resources based on predictive models.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Continuous assessment of key laboratory parameters including CALLY index components.

Risks

  • High short-term mortality associated with rapid liver deterioration in HBV-ACLF patients.

Patient & Prescribing Data

Patients hospitalized with HBV-ACLF from 2015 to 2025.

Integration of machine learning models for personalized interventions and organ support.

Clinical Best Practices

  • Utilize the CALLY index for improved risk assessment in HBV-ACLF.
  • Implement machine learning frameworks for predicting mortality in critical care settings.
  • Ensure timely decision-making based on early risk stratification.
