Utility of MELD 3.0 and MELD-Na in Predicting Long-term Mortality and Rebleeding after Endoscopic Hemostasis for Acute Variceal Hemorrhaging in Patients with Cirrhosis.

ABSTRACT: Objective This retrospective study assessed the longitudinal prognostic accuracy of the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD), MELD-Na, MELD 3.0, and Child-Pugh scores in predicting mortality and rebleeding risk in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) following successful endoscopic hemostasis for acute variceal hemorrhaging (AVH). Methods Time-dependent receiver operating characteristics and survival analyses were performed to predict mortality. The risk of rebleeding was analyzed using a competing risk model. Patients A total of 168 patients with LC who underwent successful endoscopic treatment, including ligation and sclerotherapy for AVH of the esophagus or stomach, were included. Results The MELD 3.0, which demonstrated the highest accuracy for predicting mortality, had an average ar
