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

Although adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (ALDLT) has shown comparable outcomes to deceased donor liver transplantation, the outcome of patients with a high MELD score (ΟΎ25) and a small-for-size graft (SFSGΟ½0.8% of graft-torecipient weight ratio) is not known. For 7 years, 167 conse
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The Japan Integrated Scoring (JIS) system was revealed as a better model for outcome prediction compared with the Cancer of Liver Italian Program system for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and the Model for EndβStage Liver Disease (MELD) was better as a prognostic predict
A numerical scoring system was applied and compared with conventional histological classification to assess the histological outcome in 42 patients with chronic hepatitis B followed for 16 to 162 months (mean = 75 months). Four histological categories in the biopsies were assessed and scored: (i) pi
