ALB and liver disorder: Table 2 includes c-statistics for the models for predicting mortality at 90 days, 1 year, and during the entire follow-up period in the validation cohort. For all outcomes, models including albumin (MELD-albumin and 5vMELD) outperformed their counterparts without albumin (MELD and MELDNa). The 5vMELD was the most discriminative model whereas MELD was least discriminative. The c-statistics for MELDNa and MELD-albumin were similar. Similar findings were noted in model comparisons within specific liver disease categories (Table S1).
