From: A new parameter using serum lactate dehydrogenase and alanine aminotransferase level is useful for predicting the prognosis of patients at an early stage of acute liver injury: A retrospective study

	Sensitivity (%)	Specificity (%)	PPV (%)	NPV (%)	Efficiency (%)
MELD (day1) <30	31.3	88.2	71.4	57.7	60.6
MELD (day1) <35	18.8	94.1	75	55.2	60.6
MELD (day3) <30	33.3	88.2	71.4	60	62.5
MELD (day3) <35	20	94.1	75	57.1	59.4
