Background: The Model End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) has been widely used to predict the mortality and morbidity of various surgical procedures. We aimed to assess the impact of preoperative MELD score on adverse 30-day postoperative outcomes following gastrectomy.
Methods: Patients who underwent elective, non-emergent gastrectomy were identified from the ACS NSQIP 2014-2019 database.
