Child-Pugh Score Calculator
Cirrhosis severity A/B/C from five parameters — the classification drug dosing references still cite.
Born as a 1964 surgical-risk eyeball (Child) and formalised by Pugh in 1973, it predates MELD yet survives because pharmacology adopted it — drug labels still dose-adjust 'in Child-Pugh B/C'. Its known soft spots are the two subjective items (ascites, encephalopathy grades); MELD's lab-only objectivity is exactly the response to that.
