Prognostic performance of the AARC ACLF score and the mAARC ACLF score was compared in the derivation cohort using Kaplan–Meier (K–M) analysis, and was stratified for the performance of the AARC ACLF score in the non-cirrhotic (n = 67) or cirrhotic subgroup (n = 223) using (a); for the performance of the mAARC ACLF score in above-mentioned two subgroups using (b). The mAARC ACLF score was calculated using three risk levels of baseline NLR (< 3.10, 3.10–4.78, and > 4.78) instead of corresponding levels of lactate (< 1.5 mmol/L, 1.5–2.5 mmol/L, and > 2.5 mmol/L).
