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:

Impact of hepatic steatosis on outcomes after left ventricular assist device implantation.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the impact of hepatic steatosis on outcomes after continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, and showed that hepatosis was not predictive of increased morbidity or mortality following LVAD implantation.

Surgical Procedures in Patients Awaiting Liver Transplantation: Complications and Impact on the Liver Function
Imke Honerkamp,Lisa Sandmann,Nicolas Richter,Michael P. Manns,Torsten Voigtländer,Florian W. R. Vondran,Thomas von Hahn,Thomas von Hahn +7 more
TL;DR: Surgery in patients awaiting liver transplantation carries a relevant risk of hepatic decompensation and death that needs to be considered when deciding whether to perform elective surgery prior to or defer until after liver transplation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify early indicators of secondary peritonitis (SP), which requires emergency surgery, and describe the outcomes of SP and spontaneous bacterial/fungal peritonopathy (SBFP) in patients with cirrhosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The patient with cirrhosis who presents for non-hepatic surgery
TL;DR: Perioperative risk stratification can be very challenging because of the fact that cirrhosis is often indolent and asymptomatic until patients present with complications of the disease.

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.
