Purely based on MELD the mortality would be nearly 10% at 3 months. But you have to consider other variables, such aş ascites and high risk varices.
Besides, any patient with MELD more than 15 will likely benefit from a Liver Transplant, especially in the presence of multiple decompensations such aş Ascites, jaundice, Hepatoc encephalopathy
