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:

Risk factors for adverse outcomes in emergency versus nonemergency open umbilical hernia repair and opportunities for elective repair in a national cohort of patients with cirrhosis
TL;DR: In this paper , the incidence, morbidity, and mortality associated with emergency and non-emergency umbilical hernia repair in patients with and without cirrhosis, and to explore opportunities for nonemergency repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of hepatotoxic drugs in chronic liver disease.
TL;DR: Although substantial research has been done in the field of drug use in patients with liver dysfunction, a great deal also remains to be learned and the degree of risk associated with drug use and how best to use medications in these patients represents an important area for further study.

TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility and results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in patients with portal hypertension were evaluated and the results showed that SG is a feasible and safe option for the treatment of obesity in carefully selected patients with PH with good weight loss and comorbidity resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling Optimal Clinical Thresholds for Elective Abdominal Hernia Repair in Patients With Cirrhosis
TL;DR: It is suggested that elective surgical hernia repair may be favored even in patients with advanced severity of liver disease, contrary to common practice.

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.
