Scoring Systems to Measure the Severity of Alcohol-Associated Hepatitis

Modified discriminant function
4.6 × (prothrombin time – control time) + serum bilirubin	Score >32: severe
Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score
3.78 × Ln(serum bilirubin) + 11.2 × Ln(INR) + 9.57 × Ln(serum creatinine) + 6.43	Range, 6-40 Score >21: increased severity
ABIC score
(age × 0.1) + (serum bilirubin × 0.08) + (serum creatinine × 0.3) + (INR × 0.8)	<6.71: low risk 6.71-9.00: intermediate risk >9.00: high risk
Glasgow alcoholic hepatitis score
Age:     <50 years: 1 point     ≥50 years: 2 points BUN:     <14 mg/dL: 1 point     >14 mg/dL: 2 points Peripheral blood leukocyte count:     <15 103/µL: 1 point     >15 103/µL: 2 points Serum bilirubin:     <7.3 mg/dL: 1 point     7.3-14.6 mg/dL: 2 points     >14.6 mg/dL: 3 points Prothrombin time:     <1.5: 1 point     1.5-2.0: 2 points     >2.0: 3 points	<9: 87% survival at 28 days ≥9: 46% survival at 28 days

ABIC, age, serum bilirubin, INR, and serum creatinine; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; INR, international normalized ratio; Ln, natural logarithm.
