Calculate MELD-XI (Model for End Stage Liver Disease Excluding INR)
Description
Using serum bilirubin and serum creatinine, calculate the MELD Exclusing INR, which models closely with MELD, as devised by Heuman et al. 2007. Validated for use by Wernly et al. 2017, cutoffs for MELD and MELD-XI appear identical in practice, the former of which used by UNOS for organ transplantation need. More research needs to be done to calculate associated survival or cutoff values.
Usage
meld_xi(sbill, screat)
Arguments
sbill |
Numeric value of serum bilirubin in mg/dL. |
screat |
Numeric value of serum creatinine in mg/dL. |
Value
A numeric value/vector with MELD-XI score (comparable to MELD scores).
