The Role of Meld Score in Prognosis in Serotic Patients

Scott, I was just wondering if you wouldn't mind speaking a little bit to the prognostication that's done when someone sort of comes in acutely sick with a liver complication. We have a variety of scoring mechanisms out there to kind of give us a sense for whether patients will survive. The thing to kind of remember is that none of these have been created for the acute serotic patient entering the emergency room with a varicyl bleed. Scott: From my standpoint, I don't spend a lot of time in the emergency room wondering what their meld score is and whether I should be doing this or that.
