[HTML][HTML] Risk assessment in high-and low-MELD liver transplantation
Allocation of liver grafts triggers emotional debates, as those patients, not receiving an
organ, are prone to death. We analyzed a high–Model of End-stage Liver Disease (MELD)
cohort (laboratory MELD score≥ 30, n= 100, median laboratory MELD score of 35;
interquartile range 31–37) of liver transplant recipients at our center during the past 10 years
and compared results with a low-MELD group, matched by propensity scoring for donor age,
recipient age, and cold ischemia time. End points of our study were cumulative …
