Table 5 Comparison of cumulative survival by Child–Pugh class and CLIF-SOFA organ failure grade in 68 cirrhotic patients admitted to a general ICU

	Child–Pugh A (n = 6)	Child–Pugh B (n = 34)	Child–Pugh C (n = 28)	p value
Alive at ICU discharge	6 (100.0%)	24 (70.6%)	14 (50.0%)	0.015
Alive at hospital discharge	6 (100.0%)	18 (52.9%)	8 (28.6%)	0.002
Alive 12 m post-admission	6 (100.0%)	17 (50.0%)	7 (25.0%)	0.001

	ABC + Lactate1 (n = 27)^a	ABC + Lactate 2 (n = 24)^a	ABC + Lactate 3 (n = 15)^a	p value
Alive at ICU discharge	24 (88.9%)	15 (62.5%)	3 (20.0%)	<0.001
Alive at hospital discharge	20 (74.1%)	10 (41.7%)	1 (6.7%)	<0.001
Alive 12 m post-admission	20 (74.1%)	8 (33.3%)	1 (6.7%)	<0.001

As readmissions were excluded so as not to confound the survival analysis, only 68 admissions are included
