Child-Pugh Score 10 = Class C = Severe disease
Rationale for PT score:
The patient’s prothrombin time = 14 seconds; compare to control = 10 – 12 seconds (per Lab Tests Reference Ranges provided)
14 seconds is 2 seconds above the upper end of the control, therefore < 4 seconds prolonged, score = 1 point.
