The Child-Pugh Score is used for assessing the prognosis of chronic liver disease, especially cirrhosis. It evaluates liver dysfunction using five clinical measures: total bilirubin, serum albumin, prothrombin time or INR, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy. Patients are classified into three categories reflecting disease severity. This scoring system is essential in determining treatment strategies, evaluating liver transplant needs, and in clinical research, including patient stratification in trials.
