• The “50-50 Criteria” on Postoperative Day 5: An Accurate Predictor of Liver Failure and Death After Hepatectomy (2005, background): “Child-Pugh score, which was designed to predict the postoperative outcome of cirrhotic patients, is likely to be biased in the postoperative period.(10,16) Neurologic status and ascites are not useful prognostic factors in the early postoperative course.”
• Natural history and prognostic indicators of survival in cirrhosis: a systematic review of 118 studies. (2006, background): “Moreover, the MELD score has not been proven to be superior to the Child–Pugh score in terms of predictive accuracy [3], and both may be unsatisfactory when applied separately to compensated and decompensated patients [4].”
