From: Performance of albumin-bilirubin score in prediction of hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhotic patients with acute variceal bleeding

		Hepatic encephalopathy						Sig.	Risk estimate (95% CI)
		Present (n = 46)					Absent (n = 204)
		1st week	2nd week	3rd week	4th week	Total	Absent (n = 204)
ALBI grade 2 (n = 118)	Count (%)	2 (28.6%)	4 (57.1%)	1 (14.3%)	0 (0.0%)	7 (5.9%)	111 (94.1%)	< 0.0005	4.98 (2.31–10.75)
ALBI grade 3 (n = 132)	Count (%)	14 (35.9%)	18 (46.2%)	5 (12.8%)	2 (5.1%)	39 (29.5%)	93 (70.5%)	< 0.0005	4.98 (2.31–10.75)
