C51 CRITICAL CARE: MORE NON-PULMONARY CRITICAL CARE PROBLEMS: Retrospective Study Of Outcomes In The Medical Intensive Care Unit For Cirrhotic And Noncirrhotic Liver Failure Patients

Rationale: Patients presenting with decompensated liver failure carry a high mortality risk, and admissions to the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) warrant interventions that may nonetheless result in negative outcomes. The dramatic rate of mortality in this patient population underscores the urgency to clinically assess disease severity so that early interventions may be employed in an effort to reduce negative outcomes.
