To examine how reliable MELD scoring system is in predicting post-transplant survival. |
Clin Transplant 2009 |
(n=436); AUC or C-statistic (0.60) Low discriminatory power between MELD and post-LT survival. |
| The impact of the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) on liver transplantation in one center in Brazil. Freitas et al.1414 Freitas AC, Itikawa WM, Kurogi AS, Stadnik LG, Parolin MB, Coelho JC. The impact of the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) on liver transplantation in one center in Brazil. Arq Gastroenterol. 2010;47(3):233-7.
|
To compare liver transplant results in the pre-MELD era with the MELD era. |
Arq Gastroenterol 2010 |
Survival in one-year time period was statistically the same in the MELD era and in the pre-MELD era: 74.6% in the pre-MELD era and 70.9% in the MELD era. |
| Employment of meld score for the prediction of survival after liver transplantation. Batista et al.1515 Batista TP, Sabat BD, de Melo PSV, Miranda LEC, da Fonseca-Neto OCL, Amorim AG, et al. Emprego do escore MELD para a predição da sobrevivência pós-transplante hepático. Rev Col Bras Cir. 2012;39(2):105-11.
|
To analyse the overall accuracy of the preoperative MELD score for predicting post-liver transplant survival (post-LT) and explore predictors of medium-term survival (24 months). |
Rev Col Bras Cir 2012 |
Cumulative survival at 12 and 24 months of the 208 studied patients was 74.5% and 71.1%, respectively. Preoperative MELD score showed low discriminatory power for predicting post-LT survival. For HCC stratum, the corresponding value of AUC for 24-month survival prediction was 0.59. |
| Impact of model for end-stage liver disease score on long-term survival following liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma. Roma et al.1616 Roma J, Balbi E, Pacheco-Moreira L, Zyngier I, Araujo A, Agoglia L, et al. Impact of model for end-stage liver disease score on long-term survival following liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma. Transplant Proc. 2012;44(8):2423-7.
|
To report post-liver transplant survival of patients with HCC in Brazil for a period of ten years. |
Transplant Proc 2012 |
Overall survival in ten-year time period was 67% (n=71). Implantation of MELD score had little impact on long-term survival after transplantation for HCC. |
| Impact of MELD score implementation on liver allocation: experience at a Brazilian center. da Silva Machado et al.1717 da Silva Machado AG, de Medeiros Fleck A Jr, Marroni C, Zanotelli ML, Cantisani G, de Melo Brandão AB. Impact of MELD score implementation on liver allocation: experience at a Brazilian center. Ann Hepatol. 2013;12(3):440-7.
|
To evaluate the impact of MELD scoring system on liver allocation and mortality after liver transplant in Southern Brazil. |
Ann Hepatol 2013 |
There was no significant correlation between MELD scores in LT and post-LT survival. During the 18-month follow-up, the post-LT mortality rate was 25.4% before and 20% after MELD implantation (not significant). |
| Model for End-Stage Liver Disease, Model for Liver Transplantation Survival and Donor Risk Index as predictive models of survival after liver transplantation in 1,006 patients. Aranzana et al.1818 Aranzana EM, Coppini AZ, Ribeiro MA, Massarollo PC, Szutan LA, Ferreira FG. Model for end-stage liver disease, model for liver transplantation survival and donor risk index as predictive models of survival after liver transplantation in 1,006 patients. Clinics (Sao Paulo). 2015;70(6):413-8.
|
To compare the performance of MELD score, among others, in the prognosis of post-liver transplant survival. |
Clinics 2015 |
(n=164) patients with HCC (16.3%). Findings were similar to those by Nagler et al. (2005), who obtained a 0.61 C-statistic for MELD and showed a relationship between MELD score and post-transplant survival. |
