Patrick S. Kamath,Russell H. Wiesner,Michael Malinchoc,Walter K. Kremers,Terry M. Therneau,Catherine L. Kosberg,Gennaro D'Amico,E. Rolland Dickson,M.B.A. W. Ray Kim M.D. +8 more
TL;DR: The MELD scale is a reliable measure of mortality risk in patients with end‐stage liver disease and suitable for use as a disease severity index to determine organ allocation priorities in patient groups with a broader range of disease severity and etiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Data suggest that the MELD score is able to accurately predict 3-month mortality among patients with chronic liver disease on the liver waiting list and can be applied for allocation of donor livers.

TL;DR: Around 7 million Americans are living with a hip or knee replacement, and consequently, in most cases, are mobile, despite advanced arthritis, and these numbers underscore the substantial public health impact of total hip and knee arthroplasties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hyponatremia and mortality among patients on the liver-transplant waiting list.
W. Ray Kim,Scott W. Biggins,Walter K. Kremers,Russell H. Wiesner,Patrick S. Kamath,Joanne T. Benson,Erick B. Edwards,Terry M. Therneau +7 more
TL;DR: This population-wide study shows that the MELD score and the serum sodium concentration are important predictors of survival among candidates for liver transplantation.
