Child-Pugh Score
The Child-Pugh Score (originally Child-Turcotte, modified by Pugh in 1973) is a clinical scoring system that stratifies the severity of liver cirrhosis and predicts surgical mortality and prognosis. The score integrates five readily available clinical and laboratory parameters: bilirubin, albumin, prothrombin time (INR), ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy. With a total range of 5–15 points, the Child-Pugh Score is stratified into Class A (mild, 5–6 points), Class B (moderate, 7–9 points), and Class C (severe, 10–15 points), each with distinct mortality predictions.
