This review article discusses the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score and its dual purpose in general and transplant hepatology. The article summarizes emerging concepts, methodologies, and technologies that may improve mortality prognostication in the future, and explores how these novel concepts and technologies may be incorporated into clinical practice.
In this review article, we discuss the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score and its dual purpose in general and transplant hepatology. As the landscape of liver disease and transplantation has evolved considerably since the advent of the MELD score, we summarise emerging concepts, methodologies, and technologies that may improve mortality prognostication in the future. Finally, we explore how these novel concepts and technologies may be incorporated into clinical practice.
