Prothrombin time ratio is associated to an increased bleeding risk. Its role may be further emphasized considering clot waveform analysis. The new score, if aggregated to prothrombin time ratio, could be useful to provide a single parameter immediately ready to assess the bleeding risk in the individual cirrhotic patient.
