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:

TL;DR: The findings show that liver transplantation can resolve GAVE and related anemia and that chronic hepatitis C and obesity was the most common chronic condition in the cohort.

Inguinal Hernia Repair in Patients with Cirrhosis is not Associated with Increased Risk of Complications and Recurrence
TL;DR: The results of Oh et al. quash some old dogma about inguinal hernia repair in patients with ascites and ChildPugh C status and should these encouraging outcomes entice surgeons to be bolder in the repair of symptomatic inguINAL hernias in this group?

Higher MELD score increases the overall cost on the waiting list for liver transplantation: a micro-costing analysis based study
JA Turri,TC Decimoni,Leandro A. Ferreira,Marcio A. Diniz,Luciana Bertocco de Paiva Haddad,Alessandro Gonçalves Campolina +5 more
TL;DR: Total costs on the waiting list for liver transplantation increased according to the patient's severity, with the longer the waiting time, the higher the total cost on list, causing greater impact on health systems.

Hari Nathan,H. Franklin Herlong,Ahmet Gurakar,Zhiping Li,Ayman Koteish,John F.P. Bridges,Timothy M. Pawlik +6 more
TL;DR: The clinical factors weighed most heavily by gastroenterologists and hepatologists are quite similar to those considered important by surgeons, and there was good consensus among gastroenterologist and hepatologist as to the factors used to choose therapy.

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.
