In patients with chronic liver disease, race plays a role in rate of liver transplantation and patient survival after transplantation. It is not known however how race and ethnicity influence the presentation, etiology and outcomes in patients with acute liver failure (ALF). A retrospective cohort study was conducted utilizing the ALF Study Group database to assess differences between racial and ethnic groups in subjects with ALF. In the cohort of 927 subjects (81.8% white, 12.8% black and 5.4% Asian), enrolled between January 1998 and March 2006, age, gender and level of education were comparable among the groups. Differences were found in the prevalence of psychiatric illness and the use of medications. Racial groups also differed with respect to etiology of ALF. Whites presented more frequently with acetaminophen toxicity (51% vs. 27%, P <0.001). By day 21, 228 (30%) whites, 46 (39%) blacks, and 11 (22%) Asians had died. There were no statistically significant differences found in overall mortality after adjustment for potential confounders including etiology of ALF, degree of encephalopathy, age, gender, admission laboratory values and region. The odds of liver transplantation were higher among Asians and Hispanics however this finding was attenuated in Asians after adjustment for the above confounders (adjusted OR 1.50; 95% CI 0.72-3.13 and 1.89; 95% CI 1.08 – 3.30, respectively). In patients with ALF, there were no significant differences in survival or rate of liver transplantation among racial and ethnic groups except for transplantation in Hispanics.
