The article, 'therapeutic plasma-exchange improves short-term, but not long-term, outcomes in adult patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure: a propensity score-matched analysis', describes a study of "the" impact of therapeutic plasma exchange (tpe) on patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (aclf).A total of 1151 patients (aclf n = 864 [75%], ad [without organ failure] n = 287 [25%]) were included.Thirty-nine patients received tpe and standard medical treatment.Post-tpe procedure, each patient was observed for 1-2 hours for immediate post procedure complications.Hypotension (8, 20.5%) and new infections (17, 43.5%) which included hospital-acquired pneumonia, urinary tract infections and bacteremia were the most common complications.Patient details were not provided in the article, therefore this report is being submitted as a summary of events.The apheresis sets are not available for return for evaluation.
