TLDR
MELD score, age, and American Society of Anesthesiologists class can quantify the risk of mortality postoperatively in patients with cirrhosis, independently of the procedure performed and can be used in determining operative mortality risk and whether elective surgical procedures can be delayed until after liver transplantation.About:

Liver disease in patients undergoing head and neck surgery: Incidence and risk for postoperative complications
TL;DR: Head and neck cancer patients have multiple risk factors for liver disease, but little is known about the incidence of liver disease or the safety of surgery in these patients.

TL;DR: Risk Assessment for early Mortality scoring system is an effective and user-friendly bedside scoring system to predict early mortality and early recurrence after hepatectomy for HCC patients after surgery.

An update on the pathogenesis and clinical management of cirrhosis with refractory ascites
TL;DR: This review summarizes current updates on pathogenesis and clinical management of RA including potential future therapeutic options such as the automated slow-flow ascites pump, chronic outpatient albumin infusion and cell-free and concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treating morbid obesity in cirrhosis: A quest of holy grail
TL;DR: Endoscopic interventions for obesity are emerging and are quite promising in patients with cirrhosis as these are minimally invasive and their applicability in Patients with Cirrhosis is briefly discussed.
Journal Article
A retrospective analysis of the impact of diastolic dysfunction on one-year mortality after transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt, liver transplantation and non-transplant abdominal surgery in patients with cirrhosis
TL;DR: In patients with cirrhosis undergoing TIPS and/or abdominal surgery, the presence of diastolic dysfunction does not increase post-procedure complications or one-year mortality.

A new method of classifying prognostic comorbidity in longitudinal studies: Development and validation☆
TL;DR: The method of classifying comorbidity provides a simple, readily applicable and valid method of estimating risk of death fromComorbid disease for use in longitudinal studies and further work in larger populations is still required to refine the approach.

Modeling Survival Data: Extending the Cox Model
TL;DR: A Cox Model-based approach was used to estimate the Survival and Hazard Functions and the results confirmed the need for further investigation into the role of natural disasters in shaping survival rates.

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.

TL;DR: This Mayo TIPS model may predict early death following elective TIPS for either prevention of variceal rebleeding or for treatment of refractory ascites, superior to both the Child‐Pugh classification and the Child-Pugh score in predicting survival.

Natural history and prognostic indicators of survival in cirrhosis: a systematic review of 118 studies.
TL;DR: The natural history of cirrhosis is outlined, the model for end stage liver disease (MELD) has replaced the Child–Pugh score in the United States for prioritizing liver donor allocation and a systematic review of the literature regarding predictors of mortality in cirrhotic patients is reported on.
