This study aimed to develop and validate a comprehensive model that predicts survival after liver transplantation based on pretransplant donor and recipient characteristics. Complete data were available from the United Network for Organ Sharing for 20,301 persons who underwent liver transplantation
The current policy for determining priority for organ allocation is based on the model for end stage liver disease (MELD). We hypothesize that severity of graft dysfunction assessed by either the MELD score or the Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score correlates with mortality after liver retransplantatio
The problem of assessing the validity and value of prognostic survival models presented in the literature for a particular population for which some data has been collected is discussed. Methods are sketched to perform validation through 'calibration', that is by embedding the literature model in a
