Use of a pediatric end-stage liver disease score for deceased donor allocation: The United States experience
2007
The Pediatric end-stage liver disease (PELD) score was developed as a measure of the severity of chronic liver disease that would predict mortality or children awaiting liver transplant. From multivariate analyses a model was derived that included five objective factors which together comprise the PELD score. The factors are growth failure, age less than 1 year, international normalized ratio (INR), serum albumin and total bilirubin.
