DTractor enhances cell type deconvolution in spatial transcriptomics by integrating deep neural networks, transfer learning, and matrix factorization
Background Alcohol related hepatitis is responsible for high morbidity and mortality, but little is known about the management of patients w… (see more)ith hepatitis specifically in intensive care units (ICU). Methods Retrospective study including patients with alcohol related hepatitis hospitalized in 9 French ICUs (2006–2017). Alcohol related hepatitis was defined histologically or by an association of clinical and biological criteria according to current guidelines. Results 187 patients (median age: 53 [43–60]; male: 69%) were included. A liver biopsy was performed in 51% of cases. Patients were admitted for impaired consciousness (71%), sepsis (64%), shock (44%), respiratory failure (37%). At admission, median SOFA and MELD scores were 10 [7–13] and 31 [26–40] respectively. 63% of patients received invasive mechanical ventilation, 62% vasopressors, and 36% renal replacement therapy. 66% of patients received corticosteroids, and liver transplantation was performed in 16 patients (8.5%). ICU and in-hospital mortality were 37% and 53% respectively. By multivariate analysis, ICU mortality was associated with SOFA score (without total bilirubin) (SHR 1.08 [1.02–1.14] per one-point increase), arterial lactate (SHR 1.08 [1.03–1.13] per 1 mmol/L) and MELD score (SHR 1.09 [1.04–1.14] per 1 point), while employment was associated with increased survival (HR 0.49 [0.28–0.86]). After propensity score weighting, the use of corticosteroids did not affect ICU mortality in the overall population but had a beneficial effect in the subgroup of patients with histological proof. Patient prognosis was also better in responders assessed by Lille score at day 7 (OR 6.67 [2.44–20.15], p 0.001). Conclusion Alcohol related hepatitis is a severe condition leading to high mortality in ICU patients. Severity of organ failure
