We noted in this study that the value of MELD score was significantly higher in patients with cirrhosis assessed by elastography who died (p=0.035) and higher values for liver elastography (FibroScan) with a significant trend (p=0.098) in these same patients, demonstrating a positive relationship with mortality.
