A Case-Control Study of Single-Pass Albumin Dialysis for Acetaminophen-Induced Acute Liver Failure
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Extracorporeal support with single-pass albumin dialysis (SPAD) may remove protein-bound toxins in acute liver failure. We evaluated the clinical, physiological and laboratory parameters of SPAD in acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure (AALF). METHODS: Retrospective case-control studies of AALF patients were used. RESULTS: We identified 13 AALF patients (6 SPAD-treated, 7 controls). The average age was 38 years, 92% were female, none had cirrhosis and the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores were 43. Eleven patients (85%) fulfilled the King's College criteria for a liver transplant. SPAD-treated patients received 21 sessions (total: 147 h, mean 3.5 runs or 24.5 h/patient). There were no complications. No significant changes in clinical, physiological or biochemical parameters occurred during SPAD. Compared with the controls, there were no significant differences in ICU or 1-year survival, liver recovery or referral for a liver transplant. CONCLUSION: SPAD was well-tolerated in AALF; however, it was not associated with differences in clinical outcomes. While SPAD may be an adjuvant supportive therapy in AALF, prospective trials are needed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
