Background And Aims: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a gut microbiota-related disorder characterized by excessive bacterial density and/or abnormal microbiota composition in the small intestine. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of SIBO in patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH) and to identify independent predictors.
Methods: We included 60 consecutive patients with SAH and 30 healthy controls (HC).

Methods: This prospective interventional study included 23 patients. All consecutive treatment-naïve symptomatic patients with benign GOO were recruited.
Background And Aim: We aimed to study the etiologies and clinical profile and to describe the factors associated with mortality in acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients at our center.
Methods: Patients meeting the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL) definition of ACLF were included. We studied etiologies and clinical profile and analyzed the factors associated with mortality in patients with ACLF.
