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 Transplantation in Recipients With High Model for End-stage Liver Disease Score.
S. González Martínez,A. Molina Raya,A. Becerra Massare,K. Muffak Granero,T. Villegas Herrera,J.M. Villar del Moral,Y. Fundora Suarez +6 more
TL;DR: A very high MELD score is associated with a longer stay in ICU and more days of hospital admission, although no differences were observed in postoperative complications or survival, and there does not seem to be any contraindication in transplantation in this group of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perioperative Medicine Update
TL;DR: Some recent key advances in the field of perioperative medicine are summarized to discuss studies that the four authors agreed had the most important practice implications for peri operative medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Operationsrisiko bei chronischen Lebererkrankungen
TL;DR: Patients with chronic liver disease without liver cirrhosis and patients with liver Cirrhosis Child–Pugh A class do not have an increased operative risk, whereas the operative risk of Child– Pugh C cirrhoses is substantial and usually seen as a contraindication for elective surgery in those patients.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of compensated cirrhosis on post-bariatric surgery mortality was evaluated using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) and a multivariate regression model.

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.
