Child-Pugh Score - Easy Mnemonic
An easy way to remember the Child-Pugh score using mnemonics is explained in this video. The Child Pugh score is used to assess the prognosis of patients with chronic liver disease.
The Child-Pugh scoring system (also known as the Child-Pugh-Turcotte score) is used to predict mortality in cirrhosis patients. This score uses five parameters, namely: albumin, bilirubin, prothrombin time, ascites, and encephalopathy. Historically, the Child-Pugh classification was used for liver transplant allocations, but these days, more predictive scores like the MELD score and the MELD-Na Score (MELD-Sodium score) are used to stratify patients requiring liver transplantation in cirrhosis of the liver. This is a very high yield topic and is very useful for day-to-day practice. Child Pugh scores are tested in various competitive exams like USMLE, MRCP, AMC, PLAB, and other PG entrance examinations.
