Summary

This study looked at 501 adults with severe liver disease (decompensated cirrhosis) who were on the national transplant waiting list. The goal was to create new mathematical models that better predict which patients are at highest risk of dying while waiting for a liver. By combining known and newer risk factors, researchers hope to make the organ allocation system fairer and reduce deaths on the waitlist.
