Read our Hepatitis B research guide →This is a research study that looks back at medical records from patients who experienced acute-on-chronic liver failure — a sudden worsening of long-term hepatitis B liver disease. The researchers want to understand what happens to these patients over many years after they recover enough to leave the hospital, and what signs might predict who does better or worse.
Most previous studies only followed patients for a short time after their acute crisis. This study exists to fill that gap by learning about the long-term outcomes and what factors help predict which patients will have better health in the years ahead.

You would allow the researchers to review your hospital medical records from your stay and then participate in a follow-up telephone survey about your health since then. This is a retrospective study, meaning the researchers are looking back at data you already have rather than asking you to take a new medication or have new procedures done.
