| Core Tip |
For cirrhotic patients requiring emergency general surgery, initial model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score alone may be insufficient for perioperative risk assessment, as MELD can change postoperatively. In this single-center retrospective study of 94 patients, MELD at discharge/death was independently associated with in-hospital mortality, whereas admission and day-of-surgery MELD were not. Among 24 patients whose MELD improved after surgery, 92% survived; among 14 whose MELD worsened, 93% died. All patients with final MELD ≥ 30 died. Increases in MELD were primarily driven by bilirubin and creatinine, highlighting the need for targeted post-operative strategies to limit renal and hepatic dysfunction. |
