Revision of MELD to Include Serum Albumin Improves Prediction of Mortality on the Liver Transplant Waiting List
BACKGROUND: Allocation of donor livers for transplantation in most regions is based on the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) or MELD-sodium (MELDNa). Our objective was to assess revisions to MELD and MELDNa that include serum albumin for predicting waiting list mortality. METHODS: Adults regi...
