| Core Tip |
This study investigates the correlation between hemoglobin levels and disease severity in patients with decompensated liver disease. A cohort of 652 patients was assessed using Child-Pugh, model of end-stage liver disease (MELD), and MELD-Na scores to measure disease severity and its association with hemoglobin levels. The analysis revealed a strong inverse correlation, with lower hemoglobin levels associated with higher disease severity. Among the scoring systems, MELD and MELD-Na showed the most significant associations. These findings suggest that hemoglobin levels could serve as a valuable marker in assessing disease progression, potentially improving clinical management for patients with decompensated liver disease. |
