Description
Atlı and colleagues test a four-part blood score as a survival predictor after liver transplant. Their 2026 retrospective study covers 194 adults transplanted for non-malignant disease at one centre over a decade. The HALP score combines haemoglobin, albumin, lymphocytes, and platelets, all routine preoperative values, into an immunonutritional index, and the team weighed it against the standard MELD severity score.
Over a median follow-up of about three years, 43 recipients, about 22 percent, died, and non-survivors carried clearly lower HALP values. Splitting at an exploratory threshold, mortality was about 36 percent in the low group against under 10 percent in the high group. The gap survived adjustment for MELD and albumin, with high HALP tied to roughly a quarter of the death hazard. Discrimination held steady from thirty days to three years. The authors propose the cheap score as an added preoperative check.
