Use this child Pugh Score calculator to determine severity and estimate mortality in cirrhosis. Also, it informs you about the Child-Pugh class and the survival probability.
The Child–Pugh score (Child-Turcotte-Pugh CTP score) helps to evaluate the severity of cirrhosis and the need for a liver transplantation. It takes into account various clinical parameters that are:
The resulting child score helps to put patients into one of three risk classes (A, B, and C) based on the severity of their conditions.
Parameter | Assign 1 point | Assign 2 point | Assign 3 point |
Ascites | Absent | Slight | Moderate |
Bilirubin (µ/L) | < 34 (< 2) | 34–50 (2–3) | > 50 (> 3) |
Albumin (g/L) | > 3.5 | 2.8–3.5 | < 2.8 |
Prothrombin-time (seconds over control) or INR | <4 < 1.7 | 4 - 6 1.7 - 2.3 | >6 >2.3 |
Encephalopathy | None | Grade 1–2 | Grade 3–4 |
Based on Preventive Strategies in Chronic Liver Disease.
Cirrhosis is the stage of scarring (fibrosis) of the liver. At this stage, The liver tissues are replaced by the scares tissues. They prevent the liver from working normally. This condition can lead to liver failure.
Cirrhosis can happen because of many liver diseases such as ongoing hepatitis (hepatitis B, C, and D), Autoimmune hepatitis Cystic fibrosis, or drinking too much alcohol, etc.
The stages of encephalopathy are the parameter that helps to assess the Child-Pugh score.
The five stages of hepatic encephalopathy are:
Grades | Clinical Findings |
Unimpaired | At this stage of encephalopathy there are no symptoms |
Normal psychometric or neuropsychological tests | |
Grade 1 | The symptoms are mild a shortened attention span and changes to sleep habits like hypersomnia or insomnia may include |
Abnormal psychometric or neuropsychological tests | |
Grade 2 | At this stage of encephalopathy the symptoms are moderate, here you may feel disoriented to time |
Grade 3 | The symptoms are severe. Indicates you will be unable to perform even the basic tasks. Also, you will feel confused and experience personality changes |
Grade 4 | This is the stage of encephalopathy that is characterized by coma |
Today the meld score is mostly used while performing the transplantation of the liver but the Child-Pugh score is still a valuable system.
According to the child score, a specific class is assigned to the patient. The Child-Pugh score interpretation is described below:
Class A – Least severe liver disease | Class B – Moderately severe liver disease | Class C – Most severe derangement | |
Points | 5-6 | 7-9 | 10-15 |
1-year survival | 100% | 81% | 45% |
2-year survival | 85% | 57% | 35% |
To perform a quick quick assessment of cirrhosis severity, use the Child-Pugh score calculator. It will let you calculate Child Pugh score and the probability of survival along with the severity of the disease.
Below we have provided some signs of cirrhosis:
The survival for patients with compensated cirrhosis may be more than 12 years. But the Patients with decompensated cirrhosis may live nearly 2 years.
The results obtained from this Child Pugh calculator should not be used for the treatment or diagnosis of any health conditions, problems, or diseases. Always consult with qualified Healthcare Professionals for any severe condition or treatment.
