Score: <2 = 1pt · 2–3 = 2pts · >3 = 3pts
Score: >3.5 = 1pt · 2.8–3.5 = 2pts · <2.8 = 3pts
<4s = 1pt · 4–6s = 2pts · >6s = 3pts
<1.7 = 1pt · 1.7–2.3 = 2pts · >2.3 = 3pts

🏥 Clinical Parameters

Dry wt correction: None −0 kg · Slight −2.2 kg · Moderate −6 kg · Massive −14 kg
Grade 1: mild confusion · Grade 2: lethargy, disoriented · Grade 3: stupor · Grade 4: coma

⚖️ Nutrition Assessment (for personalised targets)

Ascites correction applied automatically from grade above
Massive ascites scores 3 pts but uses a larger weight correction (dietetic estimate)
Raises protein target to 1.5 g/kg in Class A (INASL 2021 · EASL 2019)

PT/INR<4s/<1.7 · 4–6s/1.7–2.3 · >6s/>2.3 → 1, 2, 3
AscitesNone · Slight · Moderate-Severe → 1, 2, 3 pts
EncephalopathyNone · Grade 1–2 · Grade 3–4 → 1, 2, 3

⚕️ Clinical Disclaimer: The Child-Pugh score is a validated clinical tool for hepatic severity staging and surgical risk stratification. It does not replace the assessment of a qualified hepatologist, gastroenterologist, or clinical dietitian. All nutrition targets should be adapted to individual patient requirements, tolerance, and comorbidities. Transplant referral decisions must be made in consultation with a specialist transplant centre. Body weight targets use an estimated dry weight (ascites-corrected), as EASL 2019 and INASL 2021 advise. For Indian patients, refer to INASL 2021 guidance and NOTTO transplant protocols.
