The majority of elective surgeries are not recommended, regardless of the procedure, in patients with decompensated Child-Pugh C cirrhosis and the decision for urgent surgery should be -discussed on a case-by-case basis. The VOCAL-Penn score is used to assess operative risk and it ...

This efficacy is however still limited and its indication is therefore restricted to Child-Pugh A, OMS 0鈥 2 patients in whom a potentially curative treatment is contraindicated.doi:10.1016/j.jchir.2009.06.009M.-P. VulliermeV. Paradis
By univariate analyses, age, sex, ethiology, different biochemical variables, Child-Pugh score, Model of End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD)-score, complications of cirrhosis and some comorbid conditions were explored as possible predictors of death.Results: Age, Child-Pugh and MELD-score were ...
A case of Osier's cirrhosis (cirrhosis hepatitis leleangieaclatica) in a woman aged 53, examined hv biopsv, ami a case ol hepatosplenomegaly in a child are reported. The cirrhosis presented the clinical picture of biliary cholangitie cirrhosis with the signs of portal hypertension and repeated...
Child-pugh score, calculated with clinical criteria and biochemical tests, is largely used to evaluate the severity of cirrhosis and estimate the pronostic. Quantitative tests evaluating the functional liver mass improve the biological monitoring cirrhosis and the patient selection for liver transplantation...
The esophageal varices were eradicated when present and the patients with Child B cirrhosis were all contra-indicated. However, further studies are required before giving definitive recommendations for the prevention and treatment of complications occurring after elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary ...

The other predictive factors of esophageal varices could be: prothrombin time, splenomegaly, spider naevi, Child-Pugh class, bilirubinemia, platelet count/spleen diameter ratio and Fibrotest, but these data require validation. In summary, in regard to actual results, non invasive diagnosis of portal...
. • Afterwards, assessment of the severity of cirrhosis and screening for complications are both necessary: testing for liver failure (Child-Pugh and MELD scores), portal hypertension (upper gastrointestinal endoscopy), and hepatocellular carcinoma (ultrasound and alpha fetoprotein assay). Careful ...
