Mortality in hospitalized subjects with alcoholic hepatitis: 2.3% of those with a Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score < 22 died, while 19.3% of those with a MELD ≥ 22 died during the first hospitalization (p < 0.0001). Also, 0.7 and 5.6% of those below and above these MELD thresholds, respectively, were sent to hospice for terminal care, and the overall composite endpoints of death or transfer to hospice for terminal care in these groups were 2.6 and 20.8%, respectively. Of all deaths (inset), 71.2% occurred in those with MELD ≥ 22 whereas 29.8% occurred in those with lower MELD scores.
