Clichy criteria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Clichy criteria, also called the Beaujon-Paul Brousse criteria,[1] are a group of criteria proposed to predict the survival of individuals with acute liver failure. It was based on a study of patients presenting with viral hepatitis, of which individuals with the lowest survival were identified. The King's College Criteria are more commonly used.[2] Other prognostic models include Acute Liver Failure Early Dynamic (ALFED) model, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, and the Acute Liver Failure Study Group (ALFSG) Index.[1]
Two criteria predicted the prognosis of patients with poor survival:
- Factor V level less than 20 percent of its normal value in individuals less than thirty years of age
- Factor V level less than 30 percent of its normal value in individuals greater than thirty years of age.
The positive predictive value of mortality was 82% and the negative predictive value of mortality was 98% in individuals meeting these criteria.
