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:

HÉRNIAS ABDOMINAIS E INGUINAIS EM PACIENTES CIRRÓTICOS: QUAL É A MELHOR CONDUTA? Abdominal and inguinal hernia in cirrhotic patients: what's the best approach?
Felipe Duarte Silva,Wellington Andraus,Rafael Soares,Nunes Pinheiro,Rubens Macedo Arantes-Junior,Marcus Paulo,Lemos Lemes,Luiz Augusto Carneiro +7 more
TL;DR: A literature review using as keywords "abdominal wall hernia" and "cirrhotic patients" was performed using PubMed database as mentioned in this paper, and twenty-eight articles were considered.

The impact of chronic liver disease on the risk assessment of ACS NSQIP morbidity and mortality after hepatic resection.
Victor M. Zaydfudim,Matthew J. Kerwin,Florence E. Turrentine,Todd W. Bauer,Reid B. Adams,George J. Stukenborg +5 more
TL;DR: In patients selected for hepatectomy, metrics of chronic liver disease were associated with differences in ACS NSQIP estimated probability of morbidity, which should improve estimates of risk after hepatic resection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening for minimal hepatic encephalopathy in asymptomatic drivers with liver cirrhosis.
TL;DR: A high prevalence of MHE is revealed among Egyptian drivers with liver cirrhosis, and it is hence recommended to include the driving history as well as regular pencil-paper standard psychometric testing in evaluating those at risk, especially in the outpatient setting, for early detection and proper management.

Hernia repair in the presence of ascites
Brett L. Ecker,Edmund K. Bartlett,Rebecca L. Hoffman,Giorgos C. Karakousis,Robert E. Roses,Jon B. Morris,Rachel R. Kelz +6 more
TL;DR: Before hernia repair, the MELD score can be used to risk-stratify patients with nonmalignant ascites not only for mortality but also morbidity, but other factors should additionally be accounted for when counseling patients on their perioperative risk.

TL;DR: A multi-institutional preoperative and early postoperative PHLF risk calculator is presented, which demonstrated excellent discrimination and calibration and can be used to help identify high-risk patients to facilitate earlier interventions.

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.

A model to predict survival in patients with end‐stage liver disease
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.

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.
