Abstract: Objective To evaluate the clinical value of Child-Pugh,model of end-stage liver disease (MELD),and the MELD-Na model in the short-term predicting the rebleeding in patients of decompensated liver cirrhosis with esophageal-gastric varices bleeding(EGVB). Methods The patients were graded with MELD, Child-Pugh and MELD-Na and observed their rebleeding and mortality;The accuracy of the three models on predicting survival were analyzed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC). Results 49 patients(52.13%)had re-bleeding within 3 months;the Child-Pugh,MELD and MELD-Na scores in patients with re-bleeding and non-bleeding were not significantly different;15 patients died within 3 months,whose MELD-Na score(26.6412.50)was higher than those of survivors(20.354.54,P<0.001);In determining the prognosis of patients with ROC curve AUC comparison,Child-Pugh classification(0.703)>MELD-Na score(0.661)>MELD score(0.627). Conclusion Child-Pugh score,MELD score and MELD-Na score can effectively predict the short-term prognosis of patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis,but can not predict the short-term rebleeding.
