About: The Child-Pugh score is used to assess the prognosis of chronic liver disease, mainly cirrhosis. It helps guide management and estimate survival.
Child-Pugh Classes
- Class A (5-6 points): Well-compensated disease
- Class B (7-9 points): Significant functional compromise
- Class C (10-15 points): Decompensated disease
Higher scores indicate worse prognosis. Always use clinical judgment in management.
