Comparative Study[Comparative study of the MELD-Na and Child-Turcotte-Pugh scores as short-term prognostic indicators of acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure].
To compare the clinical values of the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD)-Na scoring system and the Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) scoring system for predicting the short-term prognosis of acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure. ⋯ The MELD-Na scoring system is slightly superior to the CTP scoring system for predicting short-term prognosis of acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure.The predictive value may improve for both the MELD-Na score and the CTP score when combined with expert clinical practice and experience.
