| Core Tip |
Liver cirrhosis, especially decompensated liver cirrhosis, is a common chronic disease that is also the leading cause of death among nonmalignant diseases worldwide. The poor survival of decompensated cirrhosis has pushed doctors to find more accurate prognostic scoring systems to recognize and manage patients. No meta-analysis has focused on comparison of the prediction accuracy for those patients in the past. This study aimed to compare the test accuracy of four systems [Child-Turcotte-Pugh, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score (MELD), MELD-Na, and MELD to Serum Sodium ratio] quantitatively and to pinpoint the more reliable scoring system for forecasting the mortality of decompensated liver cirrhosis patients clinically. |
