Clinical takeaway

Calculated after 7 days of corticosteroids.

When to use

Decide whether to continue steroids after 7 days.

How it works

Uses age, albumin (g/L), bilirubin at day 0 and day 7 (µmol/L), prothrombin time and renal insufficiency; score = exp(−R)/(1+exp(−R)). > 0.45 = non-responder.

Key points

  • Calculated after 7 days of corticosteroids.
  • > 0.45 identifies non-responders with poor 6-month survival.
  • Mathurin 2011 bands: ≤ 0.16 complete response, 0.16–0.56 partial response, ≥ 0.56 null response.
