year, the iMELD still had highest AUC (0.783), difference between and MELD was statistically significant (P < 0.05).Survival curves showed that three new models were all clearly discriminated patients who survived or died in short-term as well intermediate-term 0.001).CONCLUSION: Three models, changed with serum sodium (MELD-Na, iMELD, MESO) can exactly predict prognosis of decompensated cirrhosis for short intermediate period, may enhance prognostic accuracy MELD.The is better model outcome prediction cirrhosis.
