[Analysis of the result of 409 cases with liver cirrhosis and severe hepatitis by using the model for end-stage liver disease].
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the influence of the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) results in 409 cases with liver cirrhosis and severe hepatitis and compare with Child-Pugh scoring system.


METHODS
The data of 409 patients with liver cirrhosis and severe hepatitis were collected and analyzed by using the Child-Pugh and MELD scoring systems, and Chiss statistical software was applied.


RESULTS
There is a statistical significance between either results of MELD of group A, B, C, D; there is a statistical significance between either group in total serum bilirubin and creatinine, but not in INR.


CONCLUSIONS
The changes in total serum bilirubin and creatinine can influence the result significantly, not the INR, and a better way to predict the prognosis of severe liver disease may be application of MELD combined with clinical experience.
