The article wrote is showing an interesting point, once we are seeing the world
accepting MELD score as the best method for liver graft allocation. Regarding to
this issue, the autors shown a better correlation with Child-Pugh in predicting
survival on and need for removal from waiting list in patients awaiting liver
transplantation.
We do know that MELD score has faild in some cases and we do have to
improve our methods to predicting survival on the waiting liver transplant lists.
