Outcome after Liver Transplantation for Cystic Fibrosis.
Im~rovements in l'ulmonary care and other refinements in management allow more patients WIth cystic fibroSIS (CF) to survive long enough for liver disease to become a limiting factor in their life expectancy (1, 2, 3). Since liver transplantation is considered the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage liver disease, it is predictable that more patients with CF and liver failure will b...

متن کاملScoring Systems for Predicting Mortality after Liver Transplantation
BACKGROUND Liver transplantation can prolong survival in patients with end-stage liver disease. We have proposed that the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score calculated on post-transplant day 7 has a great discriminative power for predicting 1-year mortality after liver transplantation. The Chronic Liver Failure-Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (CLIF-SOFA) score, a modified SOFA...
متن کاملModified Charlson comorbidity index for predicting survival after liver transplantation.
The benefit of liver transplantation (LT) is determined not only by the severity of illness, but also by the likelihood of posttransplantation survival. Current models are unable to accurately predict which patients will have the best posttransplant survival. We hypothesized that the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), which includes nine comorbidities, could be used to predict survival after LT....
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
