Historically mortality has been high, being in excess of 80%. In recent years the advent of<unk>  transplantation and multidisciplinary intensive care support have improved survival significantly. At present overall short-term survival with transplant is more than 65%. Several prognostic scoring systems have been devised to predict mortality and to identify who will require an early<unk>  transplant. These include King's College Hospital criteria, MELD score, APACHE II, and Clichy criteria.
