The MELD score (Model of End-Stage Liver Dysfunction) combines data reflecting liver and kidney function, which makes it a potentially useful tool for the assessment of patients with AHF. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic utility of the MELD score in patients with AHF.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The MELD score was calculated on admission and during hospital stay (days 2\u20133) using a formula that does not take into account the international normalized ratio (MELD XI). The study population consisted of 203 AHF patients (mean age 65 \u00b1 12 years, 76% male). The mean MELD XI score was \u221214.8 \u00b1 4.5 points on admission and 13.9 \u00b1 4.3 points during hospitalization. Contributors of elevated MELD XI score at baseline and during hospital stay were isolated increase in creatinine in 22\u201325%, isolated increase in bilirubin in 17\u201319%, and abnormal values of both in 40\u201346% of patients. During 1-year follow-up, 67 (33%) patients died. After adjustment for well-established prognosticators, MELD XI score at baseline and during hospital stay were significant predictors of poor outcome [hazard ratio (95% confidence interval): 1.11 (1.05\u20131.2) and 1.14 (1.09\u20131.2), respectively, P &amp;lt; 0.001]. An increase in the MELD XI score during hospital stay occurred in 31% of patients and was related to increased risk of death at 1 year [1.97 (1.2\u20133.2), P &amp;lt; 0.005].<\/jats:p>\n
