Defining a Liver Transplant Benefit Threshold for the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease-Sodium Score.

CONCLUSIONS: Transition to MELD-Na did not define a more precise range at which patients benefited from transplant, and a similar percentage of patients was expected to derive benefit. Future revisions of donor liver allocation may allow better discrimination of expected transplant benefits among candidates currently assigned a high priority for donor livers.
