Staging

Used to predict the three-month mortality rate of patients with cirrhosis

Primarily used to prioritize patients for liver transplantation

Patients are given a score from 6 to 40 based on serum bilirubin, INR, and creatinine levels.

Patients with high scores have the worst prognosis without intervention and should therefore be prioritized for transplantation (if appropriate)

A prognostic grading scale that assesses survival rate and predicts the likelihood of developing complications based on bilirubin and albumin levels, prothrombin time, and the presence of ascites and encephalopathy

Can be used as a prognostic scoring system [30]

• Child‑Pugh class A: one-year survival rate of ∼ 100%

• Child‑Pugh class B: one-year survival rate of ∼ 80%

• Child‑Pugh class C: one-year survival rate of ∼ 45%
