Clinical Context & Background
The Child-Pugh score (or Child-Turcotte-Pugh score) is a well-established system used to assess the prognosis of chronic liver disease, primarily cirrhosis. It aggregates five clinical measures to stratify patients into risk classes (A, B, C). It is widely used to determine the necessity of liver transplantation and to assess perioperative mortality risk for non-hepatic surgery.
Formula Logic
Total Points = Bilirubin(1-3) + Albumin(1-3) + INR(1-3) + Ascites(1-3) + Encephalopathy(1-3)Reference Data
| Class | Total Points | 1-Year Survival | 2-Year Survival |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class A | 5 - 6 | 100% | 85% |
| Class B | 7 - 9 | 80% | 60% |
| Class C | 10 - 15 | 45% | 35% |
