Abstract

Objective To evaluate the significance of model end-stage liver disease (MELD) score in predicting the prognosis of acute liver failure. Methods The liver function,renal function,prothrombin time of all 115 patients with liver failure were detected,and corresponding MELD scores were calculated. The patients were graded according to MELD and the mortality in different grades were analyzed. Then the MELD scores of death group and survival group were compared. Results The MELD scores of patients in death group were higher than that in survival group. The scores of MELD had positive correlation with the actual mortality rate. The higher MELD score,the higher mortality rate. Conclusions The MELD score is valuable in predicting the prognosis of acute liver failure.
