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:

The Role Bariatric Surgery and Endobariatric Therapies in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis.
TL;DR: In this article , the role of bariatric surgery and endoscopic therapies in the management of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is summarized. But, there are no approved medical therapies, and weight loss through lifestyle modifications remains a mainstay of therapy.

Management of an Aortoenteric Fistula in a Patient with End Stage Renal and Liver Disease, Prior Endovascular Aortic Repair With Type II Endoleak.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a case of primary aortoenteric fistula (AEF) in an octogenarian with previous endovascular aortic repair, type II endoleak and end stage liver and renal disease.

Current and Evolving Indications for Simultaneous Liver Kidney Transplantation
Kathy M. Nilles,Josh Levitsky +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of kidney disease in liver transplant candidates is provided, providing a historical background of the prior evolution of simultaneous liver-kidney transplant indications, discuss the current indications for SLK including Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network policies and Model for End Stage Liver Disease exception points, as well as provide an overview of the safety net kidney transplant policy.

Endocrine Surgery in Cirrhotic Patients
Nisar Zaidi,Eren Berber +1 more
TL;DR: Cirrhosis with chronic liver failure is a disease capable of affecting a variety of organ systems and surgical management of endocrine Disorders requires astute knowledge of the role of advanced liver disease in endocrine disorders and prudent judgment in the selection of patients that will undergo surgery.
Book ChapterDOI
Liver Dysfunction in a Patient with Ventricular Assist Device
TL;DR: Patients with severe or chronic heart failure are at risk for hepatic ischemia due to poor global perfusion from left heart failure or for passive congestion from right heart failure, both of which can lead to significant liver dysfunction.

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.
