Abstract English

To compare Model for End Stage Liver Disease [MELD] and Child-Turcott-Pugh [CTG] scoring as predictors of survival in cirrhotic patients. Observational prospective study. Military Hospital, Rawalpindi from 1 [st] Dec 2008 to 30 [th] April 2009. The study was carried out at Military Hospital, Rawalpindi a tertiary care hospital of Pakistan. Study included 55 patients suffering from cirrhosis of both genders being above 12 years of age, admitted in medical wards during the period from 1 [st] December, 2008 to 30 [th] April 2009. Each patient was assigned a MELD and CTP score. On discharge, these patients were followed up at 03-months, O6months and 1-year duration through telephone. Thirty seven [67.3%] patients were male while 18 [32.7%] were female patients, with age ranging from 27 years to 75 years [mean 53] . Fourteen [25.4%] patients were dead at 3-months, 22 patients [40%] were dead at 6- months and 29 [52.7%] patients were dead at 1-year follow up. MELD score proved to be a better indicator of survival than CTP score over a period of 01 year follow-up. MELD score is a better prognostic marker for cirrhotic patients as compared to CTP score
