Child-Pugh Score for Cirrhosis Mortality
Estimates cirrhosis severity
Creador
Dr. Charles G. Child (1908-1991), MDIntroduction
The Child-Pugh Score estimates cirrhosis severity and can be used to assess the prognosis of patients with cirrhosis. More recent scores, such as the MELD score, provide better prognostic value, and have become more widely used.
Scoring
The Child-Pugh (CTP) Score is obtained by adding the points for each parameter.
Parameter | 1 point | 2 Points | 3 Points |
Ascites | Absent | Slight | Moderate |
Encephalopathy | Absent | Grade 1-2 | Grade 3-4 |
Bilirubin (mg/dL) | < 2 | 2 - 3 | > 3 |
Albumin (g/dL) | > 3.5 | 2.8 - 3.5 | < 2.8 |
INR | < 1.7 | 1.7 - 2.3 | > 2.3 |
Class A (5 - 6 points)
Life Expectancy: 15-20 years
Abdominal surgery peri-operative mortality: 10%
Class B (7 - 9 points)
Indication for transplant evaluation.
Abdominal surgery peri-operative mortality: 30%
Class C (10 - 15 points)
Life expectancy: 1-3 years
Abdominal surgery peri-operative mortality: 82%
