Mathematical Models in Chronic Liver Disease

Below are some mathematical models developed by investigators at Mayo Clinic to predict survival and outcomes in patients with liver diseases. These models are for use by medical professionals.

Models for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD)

The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) is a reliable measure of mortality risk in patients with end-stage liver disease and suitable for use as a disease severity index to determine organ allocation priorities. See the MELD models.

Other models

• The original PBC model
• Updated PBC model for prediction of short-term survival
• New PSC Model
• A model to predict outcome of liver transplantation for PBC and PSC
• The Alcoholic Liver Disease/Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Index (ANI)
