Official Title: Validation of an Accelerated Procedure of Selection in Early Liver Transplantation for Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis Not Responding to Medical Treatment QuickTransHAA.
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to validate a strategy of identification of patients for early liver transplantation in severe alcoholic hepatitis. In this setting, short-term survival is very low (approx. 25% at 6 months) and a pilot study has suggested (mathurin et al. N Engl J Med 2011) that liver transplantation may be an option in very carefully selected patients who did not respond to medical treatment. This selection process deserves to be confirmed in a population of greater size. We hypothesized that patients selected with this process would have a same alcohol relapse rate after liver transplantation than patients transplanted for alcoholic cirrhosis and selected using a 6-month sobriety period
