Preguntas Frecuentes
What is the Child-Pugh score?
The Child-Pugh score assesses the severity of liver cirrhosis and predicts surgical risk and prognosis. It uses 5 parameters: bilirubin, albumin, INR, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy.
How are the classes interpreted?
Class A (5–6): Well-compensated; 1-yr survival ~100%, 2-yr ~85%. Class B (7–9): Significant functional compromise; 1-yr ~81%, 2-yr ~57%. Class C (10–15): Decompensated; 1-yr ~45%, 2-yr ~35%.
