Clinical scoring system to evaluate the severity of alcoholic hepatitis

Clinical scoring system	Formula
Modified discriminant function[29]	[4.6 × (PT test - control)] + serum bilirubin (mg/dL)
MELD[34]	3.78 × loge[serum bilirubin (mg/dL)] + 11.2 × loge[INR] + 9.57 × loge[serum creatinine (mg/dL)] + 6.43
Lille score[23]	Scoring system derived from age, serum albumin (day 0), serum bilirubin (days 0 and 7), creatinine (day 0) and PT (day 0)[23]
Glasgow alcoholic hepatitis score[25]	Scoring system derived from age, WBC, BUN, PT and bilirubin[25]

WBC: White blood cell; BUN: Blood Urea Nitrogen; PT: Prothrombin time; MELD: Model for end stage liver disease; INR: International normalized ratio.
