- [...]comparison is questionable because Child-Pugh includes albumin as a variable. [...]prothrombin time was used to assess liver insufficiency. [...]this study demonstrates, in a large population, that serum albumin concentration shows poor specificity and positive predictive value in detecting malnutrition in patients with cirrhosis because this marker is better correlated to liver insufficiency than to nutritional status.
