Integrating clinical, lab, and biopsy data to predict outcomes in acute alcoholic hepatitis
Official title: Integrative Epidemiology of Prognosis in Patients With Acute Alcoholic Hepatitis at AP-HP
Run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT07262515 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will try to see if combining clinical information, blood tests, and biopsy findings can better predict outcomes for adults diagnosed with acute alcoholic hepatitis.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18 years) diagnosed with acute alcoholic hepatitis whose records are available in the AP-HP data warehouse, including those with linked laboratory and, when available, histology data.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients younger than 18, those without sufficient electronic clinical or laboratory records in the AP-HP system, or patients with liver injury from non-alcoholic causes are unlikely to benefit from the model developed here.

What this trial studies
This is a retrospective, multicenter observational analysis using the AP-HP clinical data warehouse to build prognostic models for acute alcoholic hepatitis diagnosed since 2017. The investigators will extract demographics, comorbidities, laboratory values (liver, renal, coagulation, lactate), histology details, microbiology results, medications, and outcomes including infections, transplantation, organ failure, and mortality. Statistical methods will include classical survival models (Cox regression, accelerated failure time models) and machine learning approaches such as random forests and gradient boosting to create integrative risk scores. The goal is to produce more accurate, personalized predictions of overall survival and to identify intermediate factors that modify prognosis.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, clinicians could more accurately identify patients at high risk of complications or death and tailor monitoring, therapies, and referral for transplantation.
How similar studies have gone: Existing prognostic scores (e.g., MELD, Maddrey, Lille) provide limited accuracy and machine-learning approaches have shown promise in small cohorts, but large-scale integrative models combining histology and real-world data remain relatively novel.
