Prognostic Significance of Ascites and Serum Sodium in Patients with Low Meld Scores
OBJECTIVE to determine ascites and serum sodium significance in short term mortality prediction in patients with advanced liver cirrhosis. METHODS a cohort of 115 cirrhotic patients referred to our Department were followed up for 6 months in non-transplant settings. The c index equivalent to the area under the receiver operating curve (ROC) was calculated and compared to estimate the short-te...
متن کاملRegion 11 MELD Na exception prospective study.
INTRODUCTION Hyponatremia complicates cirrhosis and predicts short term mortality, including adverse outcomes before and after liver transplantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS From April 1, 2008, through April 2, 2010, all adult candidates for primary liver transplantation with cirrhosis, listed in Region 11 with hyponatremia, were eligible for sodium (Na) exception. RESULTS Patients with serum ...
متن کاملCLIF-C ACLF score is a better mortality predictor than MELD, MELD-Na and CTP in patients with Acute on chronic liver failure admitted to the ward.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a frequent syndrome associated with high mortality. The aims of the present study are: a) comparing the Chronic Liver Failure Consortium (CLIF-C) ACLF Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD), MELD Sodium (MELD-Na) and Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) scores for prediction of short/medium term mortality; b) identifying ACLF prevalence in pat...
متن کاملLiver Transplantation in Patients with Portal Vein Thrombosis: Comparing Pre-MELD and MELD era
BACKGROUND Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) used to be a relative contraindication for liver transplantation (LT). This obstacle has been dealt with following the improvement of LT-related techniques. OBJECTIVE To compare the outcome of adult patients with PVT who underwent LT before and after adopting MELD. METHODS We retrospectively searched our database for deceased donor LT recipients who h...
متن کاملPairing Heaps with Costless Meld
Improving the structure and analysis in [1], we give a variation of the pairing heaps that has amortized zero cost per meld (compared to an O(log log n) in [1]) and the same amortized bounds for all other operations. More precisely, the new pairing heap requires: no cost per meld, O(1) per find-min and insert, O(log n) per delete-min, and O(log log n) per decrease-key. These bounds are the best...
