INTRODUCTION. The Model for End-Stage Liver Desease scale is used to determine the stage of liver disease and for organ allocation in transplant candidates. OBJECTIVE. To validate the usefulness of the scale in adult patients of the Liver Transplantation Program and its application in the prioritization of grafts for patients on the waiting list. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Observational, descriptive study. From a population of 103 Medical Records, a sample of 95 records was taken from the Liver Transplantation Program of the Carlos Andrade Marín Specialty Hospital in the period may 2016 to march 2020. Inclusion criteria: data from patients with a diagnosis of terminal liver disease, of both sexes, aged between 14 and 65 years. The information was taken from the AS400 system and analyzed using the International Business Machines Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 23.0 and the Kaplan-Meier estimator. RESULTS. Survival on the waiting list was 86,3% (82; 95) and post-transplant survival was 72,5% (44; 62) at 12 months and 68,9% (42; 62) at 46 months of follow up. DISCUSSION. This scale was considered for seriously ill patients, assigning them a score that allowed them to have the option of receiving a transplant in relation to other patients. CONCLUSIONS. The utility of the scale was validated, no significant difference was found, but it maintained the principle of priority for patients with greater severity.
