The MELD scoring system is an algebraic formula for assessing how long a person with cirrhosis has to live (hence it's useful in assessing who should be priority on the liver transplant waiting list). It takes into account blood test results, perceived quality of life and other factors. The pediatric system is the "PELD" scoring system, which works in a similar way.
