Patients with MELD-Score 40 have a 3-month survival probability of almost 0 without LT. Given the differences in waiting times between the NMA and SMA, we should start thinking about transforming the macro area program into a national one.Ĭopyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. The highest medical urgency represents the current allocation principle for liver transplantation (LT). The MELD score is a priority allocation, and the longer the waiting time to transplantation for these recipients, the more their mortality increases. The average waiting time of these recipients for a liver was significantly different between the NMA and the SMA (3.14 ± 3.21 vs 5.78 ± 4.59 P <. A total of 35 requests (26.5%), 21 from the NMA (60%) and 14 (40%) from the SMA, were not met. A total of 73.7% of the received requests (n = 97) were satisfied: the NMA met 80.4% of the requests (n = 77), whereas the SMA met 55.5% (n = 20). 3 Month Mortality : MELD score > 40 : 71.3 mortality. It is used as a disease severity index to help prioritize allocation of organs for transplant. For patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, the PELD/MELD score is increased according to an algorithm established by UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing. Using the MELD score, patients are assigned a score from 6 to 40, which equates to an estimated 3-month survival rate from 90 to 7, respectively. The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) is a reliable measure of mortality risk in patients with end-stage liver disease. The average waiting list in the NMA was significantly different from that of the SMA (2.74 ± 2.29 vs 4.5 ± 3.98, P <. If the patient is between 12 and 17 years old, and has either a urea cycle disorder, organic acidemia or hepatoblastoma, the MELD Score is set at 30. Para pacientes com carcinoma hepatocelular, a escala PELD / MELD tem um aumento de acordo com um algoritmo estabelecido pela UNOS (rede unida para intercâmbio de órgãos). When a region reports the presence of a patient with a MELD score ≥30, the same macro area-compatible donors, in the absence of urgent national and 1B status, are offered primarily to this recipient.įrom August 2014 to August 2015, 132 requests for patients with urgent MELD score ≥30, 98 from the NMA and 34 from the SMA, were handled. Se o paciente tiver entre 12 e 17 anos, e sofrer de algum distúrbio do ciclo de ureia, acidemia orgânica ou hepatoblastoma, a Escala MELD será definida em 30. The object of this study was to evaluate the possibility and the need to transform the MELD score ≥30 macro area-based program into a nationwide one. Patients with MELD scores greater than 24 who are reasonable liver transplant. Patients with an urgent MELD score ≥30 are managed by the Italian Operative National Transplant Center on the basis of a division of Italy into 2 main areas, the northern macro area (NMA) and the southern macro area (SMA). The best outcomes with TIPS occur among patients with a MELD score less than 14.
