Outnumbered: Control Prothrombin Time in Maddrey’s Discriminant Function Impacts Steroid Use but Not Mortality in Alcoholic Hepatitis

Background and aims: In alcoholic hepatitis (AH), increases in the total bilirubin (TB) and the prothrombin time (PT), which are included in the Maddrey’s discriminant function (MDF) and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD), are associated with poor outcomes.
