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:

Elliot B. Tapper,Vilas Patwardhan,Laura M. Mazer,Byron P. Vaughn,Gail Piatkowski,Amy Evenson,Raza Malik +6 more
TL;DR: A retrospective cohort study of consecutive inpatients with a diagnosis of cirrhosis who underwent emergent, nonhepatic, abdominal surgery between May 6, 2005 and September 3, 2012 found the possibility of a negative laparotomy is suggested by preoperative clinical factors.

Liver Anatomy and Function in the Planning of Hepatic Interventions
TL;DR: This chapter will focus first on how anatomy and function pertain to hepatic resection and later expand this to be applicable to decision-making regarding local and regional therapies.

Epidemiology and Natural History of Chronic Liver Disease
Jamil S. Alsahhar,Saleh Elwir +1 more
TL;DR: Chronic liver diseases are prevalent around the world and their incidence and prevalence are increasing and various models are present that can help in determining disease severity and prognosis with the Child-Pugh score and the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score being the most commonly used.

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.
