Resumen
Modelos de pronóstico en enfermedad hepática Child & Meld. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2004, vol.19, n.2, pp.109-114. ISSN 0120-9957.
The prognostic models are basic in the liver disease, since the liver transplantation has evolved from a experimental procedure to an accepted treatment for end-stage liver disease. We evaluated the role de prognostic models in the liver diseases. The Child-Turcotte-Pugh is still considered cornerstone in the prognostic evaluation of cirrhotic patients Nevertheless, it has some drawbacks such a subjectivity of clinical parameters and limited discriminant ability. The MELD score (model for end-stage-liver -disease) is a reliable measure to determine of mortality risk and to asses a disease severity in patients vith liver cirrhosis so as to determine organ allocation priorities.
