MELD remains the best predictor of mortality in outpatients with cirrhosis and severe ascites

Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2020
The Model for Endstage Liver Disease (MELD) score may put patients with severe ascites at a disadvantage because they often have a poor quality of life and high mortality despite a favourable MELD score.

Quality Assessment and Management in Organ Transplantation: A Comparative Analysis of the United States, Germany, and Chinese Mainland

Health Care Science, EarlyView.
Organ transplantation integrates surgery, immunosuppression, training, and quality systems. This analysis compares the United States, Germany, and Chinese Mainland, showing convergence toward data‐driven quality and competency‐based training. Chinese Mainland's centralized model enhances standardization and scalability, while Western systems emphasize ...

Comparison of Mortality Prediction Between the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease-3.0 (MELD-3.0) and the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease-Lactate (MELD-La) in Korean Patients with Liver Cirrhosis

Medicina
Background and Objectives: The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score has widely been used for mortality prediction in liver cirrhosis (LC) patients and transplantation allocation. There have been recent modifications of MELD scores, such as MELD-

Prognostic Value of Model for End-Stage Liver Disease Incorporating with Serum Sodium Score for Development of Acute Kidney Injury after Liver Transplantation

Chinese Medical Journal, 2018
Background: Contribution of model for end-stage liver disease incorporating with serum sodium (MELD-Na) score in predicting acute kidney injury (AKI) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is yet to be identified. This study assessed the prognostic

Child–Pugh Versus MELD Score for the Assessment of Prognosis in Liver Cirrhosis

Medicine, 2016
Child–Pugh and MELD scores have been widely used for the assessment of prognosis in liver cirrhosis. A systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the discriminative ability of Child–Pugh versus MELD score to assess the prognosis of cirrhotic ...

Impact of sarcopenia on prognostic value of cirrhosis: going beyond the hepatic venous pressure gradient and MELD score

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018
Sarcopenia has been reported as a prognostic factor. We evaluated the impact of sarcopenia to the conventional prognostic factors [Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, Child–Turcotte–Pugh (CTP) score, hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG ...

Impact of MELD score implementation on liver allocation: experience at a Brazilian center

Annals of Hepatology, 2013
Introduction. Model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) is an accurate predictor of mortality in patients with cirrhosis, and has been used on liver allocation in Brazil since 2006. However, its impact on organ allocation, waiting list and post-transplant
