Survival Benefit From Corticosteroids in Severe Alcohol-associated Hepatitis Attributed to Clinical and Treatment Differences in a Large Multicenter Cohort.

Variables associated with receipt of corticosteroids On multivariable logistic regression (Table 3 ), patient characteristics that were associated with receipt of corticosteroids included younger age (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.98 per year, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.97–0.99; P = 0.001), higher MELD-Na score (OR 1.03 per point, 95% CI 1.01–1.05; P = 0.002), and higher AUDIT-C score (aOR = 1.03 per point, 95% CI 1.00–1.06; P = 0.043), though history of diabetes was also borderline significant (aOR = 1.20, 95% CI 1.00–1.44; P = 0.053).
