A New Recalibrated Four-Category Child–Pugh Score Performs Better than the Original Child–Pugh and MELD Scores in Predicting In-Hospital Mortality in Decompensated Alcoholic Cirrhotic Patients with Acute Variceal Bleeding: a Real-World Cohort Analysis

Background There currently is no consensus on how to accurately predict early rebleeding and death after a major variceal bleed. This study investigated the relative predictive performances of the original Child–Pugh (CP), model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) and a four-category recalibrated Child–Pugh (rCP).
