A composite 10-point score (including AKI, CRP > 50 mg/L, low albumin levels < 2.5 g/dL, ascitic protein < 1.0 g/dL, albumin/ascitic ratio < 2.5 [2 points], MELD ≥ 15, diabetes, multidrug-resistant organism [MDRO] infection, and non-use of β-blockers) stratified the risk of recurrence into low (0–3: 15%), moderate (4–6: 45%), and high (7–10: 80%) categories. Here, CRP is linked to acute kidney injury.
