Model for end-stage liver disease score versus Child score in predicting the outcome of surgical procedures in patients with cirrhosis

Figure 1 Mean MELD and Child scores with 95% confidence intervals, stratified by procedure urgency. A significant difference was observed in means between the patients who reached the endpoint and the patients who did not in the case of urgent surgery, but not in the case of elective surgery.

Figure 2 Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves for MELD score (A) and CTP score (B) as predictors of death or hepatic decompensation in the postoperative period in 57 cirrhotic patients who underwent urgent surgical procedures under general anesthesia. Panel C shows a comparison of the two curves.
