In this study, 586 participants were enrolled, including 100 in derivation cohort, 133 in internal validation cohort, and 353 in external validation cohort. Biomaterials, including plasma, serum, urine, and some explanted liver tissues, were collected from these patients. A 3-month follow-up with survival status was completed. The baseline characteristics indicated that 51% of the patients had adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-hyporesponsive circulating platelets. The prognostic potential of platelet function will be explored in the derivation cohort (HBV-related ACLF patients) and further substantiated in the validation cohorts (HBV-related and non-HBV-related ACLF patients). Biosamples are currently used to explore the underlying mechanisms related to ADP-hyporesponsive platelets. The ongoing proteomic and metabolic analyses will provide new insights into the pathogenesis of extrahepatic organ failures in ACLF patients.
