This study aims to investigate the methylomic features of patients with hepatitis B-related acute-on-chronic liver failure and establish and validate a prognostic risk prediction classification model. The findings are of significant importance for guiding clinical practice and improving patient prognosis. Additionally, a methylomics-based classifier model for liver failure will be developed for disease prognosis analysis and clinical assessment, with the potential to enhance the diagnostic efficiency of liver failure.
