- Abstract
A study published in Liver International investigated whether von Willebrand factor (vWF) could predict short-term mortality in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). The study included 51 patients with ACLF and measured vWF levels at admission. The researchers found that vWF was not associated with 30-day mortality and did not differ between patients who died and those who survived. The study suggests that further research is needed to confirm the prognostic role of vWF in ACLF. The study was funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University, and Research and was approved by the Padova University Hospital Ethical Committee.
