TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the discriminative ability of Child–Pugh versus MELD score to assess the prognosis of cirrhotic patients and found that their benefits might be heterogeneous in some specific conditions.

TL;DR: Anticoagulation could achieve a relatively high rate of portal vein recanalization in cirrhotic patients with PVT, given that only a small number of non-randomized comparative studies are reported, randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm the risk-to-benefit of anticoagulant therapy in such patients.

TL;DR: APRI, AAR, FIB-4, Lok, and Forns scores had low to moderate diagnostic accuracy in predicting the presence of varices in liver cirrhosis.

TL;DR: NLR should be a major prognostic factor for HCC patients and might be further incorporated into the prognostic model of HCC.

TL;DR: Abnormal liver biochemical tests are common in COVID-19 patients and are closely related to the severity and prognosis of patients, and non-survivors had a significantly higher incidence than survivors of abnormal liver biochemical indicators.
