The task of emotion recognition in conversations (ERC) benefits from the availability multiple modalities, as provided, for example, video-based Multimodal EmotionLines Dataset (MELD). However, only a few research approaches use both acoustic and visual information MELD videos. There are two reasons this: First, label-to-video alignments noisy, making those videos an unreliable source emotional...

INTRODUCTION The impact of model of end stage liver disease (MELD) score on postoperative morbidity and mortality is still elusive, especially for high MELD. There are reports of poorer patient outcome in transplant candidates with high MELD score, others though report no influence of MELD score on outcome and survival. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data of 144 consecutive liver transpl...

BACKGROUND We evaluated the concept of whether liver failure patients with a superimposed kidney injury receiving a simultaneous liver and kidney transplant (SLKT) have similar outcomes compared to patients with liver failure without a kidney injury receiving a liver transplantation (LT) alone. METHODS Using data from the United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS) database, patients were divided ...

To adopt the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score-based system in Korea, the feasibility should be evaluated by analysis of Korean database. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of the MELD score-based system compared with the current Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) based-system and to suggest adequate cut-off to stratify waiting list mortality among Korean population. W...

BACKGROUND Liver transplantation is the usual treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma. AIM To analyze the MELD score, waiting time and three month and one year survival for liver transplantation in cirrhotic patients affected by hepatocellular carcinoma or not. METHODS This was a retrospective, observational and analytical study of 93 patients submitted to liver transplantation. RESULTS Th...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Model for Endstage Liver Disease (MELD) scoring system for predicting the morbidity and mortality of patients with head and neck cancer with liver cirrhosis undergoing tumor resection with microsurgical free-tissue transfer. METHODS Between January 2000 and December 2008, 3108 cases were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS There were 59...

AIM To determine relationship between MELD score and the occurrence of SBP, prevalence of SBP, pattern of bacterial culture and antibiotic susceptibility of causative bacteria of liver cirrhotic patients at Sanglah Hospital. METHODS Study design was a cross-sectional analytic study. The population in this study consists of liver cirrhotic patients admitted at Sanglah Hospital Denpasar from Ju...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the impact of model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) allocation policy on survival outcomes after liver transplantation (LT). INTRODUCTION Considering that an ideal system of grafts allocation should also ensure improved survival after transplantation, changes in allocation policies need to be evaluated in different contexts as an evolutionary process. METHODS A retro...

BACKGROUND The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) and Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) scores are important predictors for survival after liver transplantation (LT). The objective of this study was to compare the utility of MELD and CTP scores with Canadian waitlisting algorithm in transplantation (CanWAIT) status for predicting 90-day survival after LT. METHODS Retrospectively, we analyzed al...

UNLABELLED  Background. Acute-on-chronic liver failure has high mortality. Currently, robust models for predicting the outcome of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated ACLF are lacking. AIM To assess and compare the performance of six prevalent models for short- and longterm prognosis in patients with HBV-ACLF. MATERIAL AND METHODS The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD), MELD sodium (MEL...
