These authors have developed a novel 'MELD-Na' score, which incorporates hyponatremia (i.e. serum sodium levels in the range 120-135 mmol/l) into the standard MELD. They recommend that data collected by the United Network for Organ Sharing in the US should be analyzed, to validate their ...
Adds sodium to the MELD model for liver cirrhosis. IMPORTANT We’ve updated and combined our MELD scores into one page. Clinicians can choose the formula that best fits their needs: the original MELD score; the current MELD-Na used by UNOS/OPTN, and the 2022 MELD 3.0 score. Click here ...
MELDScore (2016) = MELDScore + 1.32 × (137 - sodium) - 0.033 × MELDScore × (137 - sodium) MELD score interpretation Your result will fall in the range between 1 and 40. Basing on this result, our MELD score calculator predicts the 90-day mortality: MELD score equal to 40: 71.3...
At a MELD-Na score of 11–20, cumulative survival rate was significantly lower in MASLD patients compared to all other etiologies (log rank p < 0.01). MASLD patients present with EGV bleeding at lower MELD-Na scores compared to other etiologies of CLD. MELD-Na score may therefore ...

ResultsWe identified 1,077 patients undergoing ventral skull base surgery with laboratory values required to calculate the MELD-Na score. The mean age was 54.2 years. The mean MELD-Na score was 7.70 (standard deviation=2.04). Univariate analysis showed that elevated MELD-Na score was significantly...
Postoperative outcomes were compared by MELD-Na score using Chi-square tests. Multivariate logistic regression was used to control for potentially confounding variables. Results A total of 48,955 elective hernia repairs were identified; 68.7% were open repairs. The overall complication rate (Clavien–...
In all elective colorectal procedures, for every one-point increase in MELD-Na score, anastomotic leak (OR 1.04 95% CI [1.006, 1.07]), mortality (OR 1.24; 95% CI, [1.20, 1.27]), and overall complications (OR 1.10; 95% CI [1.09, 1.12]) increased. MELD-Na was an independent ...
