✦ Synopsis

Data from a controlled clinical trial in liver cirrhosis are used to illustrate that multi-state models may be a useful tool in the analysis of data where survival is the ultimate outcome of interest but where intermediate, transient states are identi"ed. We compare models for the marginal survival time distribution with models including transient states, both with respect to their clinical interpretation and with respect to the precision of survival probability estimates obtained from the various models.

Although it is often functional at presentation, acute renal failure has a poor prognosis in patients with cirrhosis. The role of inflammation, a key event in the outcome of cirrhosis, has never been studied in this setting. We aimed to investigate the predictive factors of mortality in patients wit

The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) has a better predictive accuracy for survival than the Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) system and has been the primary reference for organ allocation in liver transplantation. The CTP system, with a score range of 5-15, has a ceiling effect that may compromise
