3 The MELD score, as previously mentioned, helps clinicians determine how urgently a patient needs a liver transplant. The study showed: (1) the MELD, the CTP score, and the Emory score were similar in accuracy for predicting three-month mortality (2) the MELD was more accurate than the others for predicting 12-month mortality and (3) the MELD and the CTP score were more accurate than the Emory score for predicting 36-month mortality. This is a prognostic scoring system based on specific laboratory measurements, used to predict 3-month mortality due to liver disease in patients 12 years of age and older. Dialysis at least twice in the past week. We recommend using the new MELD Score primarily. Most candidates will have their MELD score assessed a. Note: The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network recently incorporated sodium into their new MELD Score as of January 2016, using a different model than MELD-Na. The score is based on how urgently you will need a liver transplant within the next three months. candidates waiting for liver transplants based on statistical formulas that are. The accuracy of each score was measured using the concordance-statistic (c-statistic): 1 was a score that perfectly predicted the outcome in question, and 0 was a score that failed to predict any outcome correctly. The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) is a numerical scale, ranging from 6 (you are less sick) to 40 (you are gravely sick), used for liver transplant candidates age 12 and older.
The mean age of patients was 57 years, about two thirds were men, and most had alcoholic cirrhosis. We have shown that the Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score, the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score and United Network for Organ Sharing -derived medical. 4 The study used the version of the MELD that included creatinine, bilirubin, INR, and cause of cirrhosis. We changed 'MELD' to Model for End-Stage Liver Disease assuming that the score would be more readily accepted by the liver transplantation community if it was not identified with a single institution. A German study compared the MELD, the CTP score, and the Emory score in predicting the prognosis of 162 patients with end-stage liver disease who were undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting (TIPS). The MELD Score fulfilled their criteria and was accepted as the score to prioritize organ allocation for liver transplantation.
