Abstract
These findings suggest that a MELD-XI score of 14 or higher was associated with a higher postoperative mortality rate than that seen in patients with a lower MELD-XI score. The MELD-XI scoring system can be used to predict outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure who undergo CF-LVAD implantation.
