Core Tip

Core Tip: The organ allocation policy has been improving in recent decades, with the utilization of models and scales that reduce mortality among patients on the waiting list and enable a better assessment of post-transplant prognosis with appropriate donor-recipient matching. This article aims to compare the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV, balance of risk, and model for end-stage liver disease scores as predictors of mortality.
