Article Synopsis
- The MELD-score predicts 90-day mortality in end-stage liver disease patients awaiting transplant, while the BAR-score aims to assess post-transplant mortality using donor-recipient factors.
- Two studies from Germany analyzed liver transplant data to evaluate the effectiveness of the BAR-score, revealing it as a significant risk factor for 90-day mortality.
- Ultimately, the BAR-score fell short of desired predictive standards, indicating the need for improved models to effectively balance the urgency and utility of donor organs.
