Comparison of transient elastography and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease-sodium to Model for End-Stage Liver Disease-sodium alone to predict mortality and liver transplantation

Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) alone and with sodium (MELD-Na) have decreasing predictive capacity as trends in liver disease evolve. We sought to combine transient elastography (TE) with MELD-Na to improve its predictive ability.
