Improved Discrimination and Predictive Ability of Novel Prognostic Scores for Long-term Mortality in Hospitalized Patients with Cirrhosis

Caption

MELD 3.0 is superior to other MELD-based scores for long-term prognostication in hospitalized patients with cirrhosis, while GEMA-Na demonstrated even more accurate and better performance. The highlight of these findings lies in their consistent and steady predictive power for all-cause mortality for up to two years. However, there is still room for improvement by incorporating other predictors, such as malnutrition and body composition abnormalities.
