Factor	Unit	1 point	2 points	3 points
Serum bilirubin	μmole/L	<34	34–51	>51
	mg/dL	<2.0	2.0–3.0	>3.0
Serum albumin	g/L	>35	30–35	<30
	g/dL	>3.5	3.0–3.5	<3.0
Prothrombin time	Second Prolonged INR	0–4	4–6	>6

Note. Add scores from the five factors. Child-Pugh scores are: class A (score of 5–6), B (7–9), or C (10 or above). If Child-Pugh Score is 7 or more in patients with cirrhosis, it is an indication of decompensation (Kasper et al., 2005). INR = international normalized ratio.
