Background There have been many studies investigating the impact of the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score on predicting post-transplant outcome. But it is unclear whether MELD is correlated to intraoperative fluid therapy and coagulation status. We investigated the relationship between the severity of liver diseases as measured by MELD score and intraoperative fluid requirements and the changes of coagulation characteristics.Methods Ninety patients were included in this retrospective study. The patients were stratified into three groups according to the MELD scores: <15>25 (high). Intraoperatively, volume was restored with allogeneic and/or salvaged red blood cells (RBC), fresh-frozen plasma (FFP), platelet and other types of fluids according to hemodynamic data, hematocrit, and clotting data. Intraoperative coagulation data, blood requirements and other fluids administered were compared among the 3 groups. Results Before surgery, in addition
