Association of mild-to-moderate Model for End-Stage Liver Disease scores on short-term cardiac surgery postoperative outcomes
Patients with moderate and low Model for End-Stage Liver Disease scores have adequate outcomes with respect to 30-day mortality. However, surgical risk for patients with high Model for End-Stage Liver Disease scores was underpredicted by traditional risk stratification. Patients with mild to moderate liver disease can undergo cardiac surgery with acceptable surgical mortality.
