Resumen :	Background & Aims: Corticosteroids are the only effective therapy for severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH), defined by a model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score >20. However, there are patients who may be too sick to benefit from therapy. Herein, we aimed to identify the range of MELD scores within which steroids are effective for AH. Methods: We performed a retrospective, international multicenter cohort study across 4 continents, including 3,380 adults with a clinical and/or histological diagnosis of AH. The main outcome was mortality at 30 days. We used a discrete-time survival analysis model, and MELD cut-offs were established using the transform-the-endpoints method. Results: In our cohort, median age was 49 (40–56) years, 76.5% were male, and 79% had underlying cirrhosis. Median MELD at admission was 24 (19–29). Survival was 88% (87–89) at 30 days, 77% (76–78) at 90 days, and 72% (72–74) at 180 days. A total of 1,225 patients received corticosteroids. In an adjusted-survival-model, corticosteroid use decreased 30-day mortality by 41% (hazard ratio [HR] 0.59; 0.47–0.74; p 51. The type of corticosteroids used (prednisone, prednisolone, or methylprednisolone) was not associated with survival benefit (p = 0.247). Conclusion: Corticosteroids improve 30-day survival only among patients with severe AH, especially with MELD scores between 25 and 39.
