Child-Pugh Cirrhosis Score

Classify cirrhosis severity using the Child-Pugh score (A/B/C) based on bilirubin, albumin, PT/INR, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy to estimate surgical risk and 1-year survival.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Classify cirrhosis severity using the Child-Pugh score (A/B/C) based on bilirubin, albumin, PT/INR, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy to estimate surgical risk and 1-year survival

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Albumin — The albumin recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • PT/INR — The pt/inr recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Ascites — The ascites recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Hepatic encephalopathy — The hepatic encephalopathy recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the child-pugh score result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the albumin, PT/INR, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy for the scenario you are assessing. Classify cirrhosis severity using the Child-Pugh score (A/B/C) based on bilirubin, albumin, PT/INR, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy to estimate surgical risk and 1-year survival. Use the child-pugh score result to inform your calculation.
