Temporal distribution of inpatient specialty palliative care consultation, stratified by ACLF grade.
Kernel density plots were created to visualize the timing of consultation in terms of (A) days from hospitalization and (B) days from consultation until death. Each plot was stratified by ACLF grade, with medians compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test. ∗Vertical hash lines correspond to median values for each ACLF grade. ACLF, acute-on-chronic liver failure.
