Utility of MELD and Child-Turcotte-Pugh scores and the Canadian Waiting Algorithm in predicting short term survival after liver transplant
 
Document Language : English 
Abstract : The model for end stage liver disease (MELD) and Child – Turcotte – Pugh (CTP) scores are important predictors for survival post liver transplantation. The objective of this study was to compare the utility of MELD and CTP score with Canadian Waitlisting Algorithm in Transplantation (CanWAIT) status for predicting 90 day survival after LT. Conclusion: CanWAIT status stratifies LT patients better and predicts short term outcome more accurately than MELD or CTP scores and should not be replaced by MELD or CTP scores. This observation should be confirmed by a prospective and multicenter study in Canada
