🗞️News from A-TANGO!
We celebrate a new consortium publication by Cornelius Engelmann et al. (2026) that introduces the A-TANGO organ failure (OF) score, a refined tool for diagnosing acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in patients with cirrhosis and acute decompensation.
Developed using data from 3,896 patients in Europe and Latin America and validated in large cohorts from India and China, the score updates thresholds for organ dysfunction and adds a new ACLF grade 4 to better capture severely ill patients. Compared with the widely used CLIF-C OF score, A-TANGO improves detection of ACLF (24% to 36%) while maintaining strong prediction of 28- and 90-day mortality. The study also introduces two related prognostic models.
Together, these tools provide a more accurate framework for risk stratification, treatment evaluation, and the design of clinical trials in ACLF.

📌 Take-home message:
👉 Free testosterone outperforms total testosterone as a prognostic marker in ACLD.
👉 Measuring FT may help identify high-risk patients and guide prehabilitation and future therapeutic strategies.
