ABSTRACT
Objective This study was to evaluate the usefulness of the model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) score in comparison with the Child-Pugh classification to predict postoperative mortality and short-term survival in liver transplant patients. MethodsMELD score and Child-Pugh score were computed for each patient according to the original formula on admission day. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were made using the cut-off points calculated by Youden index. ResultsSix out of 40 patients died within three months, MELD scores and Child-Pugh scores for non-survivors (32.2?8.0, 12.3?2.0) were higher than those for survivors (13.4?6, 9.12?2.31) significantly (P
