Background The ability of Child–Turcotte–Pugh (CTP) or Model for End-Stage Liver Disease
(MELD) scores to predict recipient survival after liver transplantation is controversial. This …

Purpose This study evaluated the performance of the model for end-stage liver disease
(MELD) in predicting post-transplant survival in a cohort of Chinese patients, and compared …

We analyzed preoperative factors related to postoperative mortality after liver transplantation
among a cohort of 268 consecutive liver transplant patients over 6 years. We studied the …

Abstract Background: The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) and Child–Turcotte–
Pugh (CTP) scores are important predictors for survival after liver transplantation (LT). The …

Purpose Increased model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score measured in the early
postoperative course is associated with one-year mortality and graft loss. However, the …

Background: This study examined how reliable is the pre‐transplant model for end‐stage
liver disease (MELD) score in predicting post‐transplantation survival and analyzed …

The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) is used to determine organ allocation
priorities for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), although its value to predict …

Results Of 142 grafts, 18 failed during the observation period. One-, 3-and 5-year survival
rates were 92%, 87% and 82%, respectively. Cox proportional hazard model revealed that …

Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) is a serious complication after liver transplantation (LT).
There is no uniform definition of EAD, and most definitions are based on arbitrary laboratory …

BACKGROUND: The benefit of liver transplantation relative to initial degree of underlying
liver disease and time on the waiting list remains poorly defined. We sought to examine the …
