Background: Lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR) is a simple and effective marker that has the potential to predict the severity of hepatic dysfunction in a cirrhotic patient, like the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score and the Child- Pugh (CP) score. However, the usefulness of this newer tool has not yet been tested. Objectives: Comparison of Lymphocyte/Monocyte ratio with Child-Pugh Score and MELD Score in the determination of hepatic dysfunction severity in patients with cirrhosis was the objective of the study. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on cases of cirrhotic patients in the Department of Gastroenterology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, dated from September 2018 to August 2019. A total of 40 compensated cases and 82 decompensated cases were included in the process of obtaining informed written consent. Information about clinical profile, laboratory parameters (complete blood count including ESR, serum total bilirubin, serum albumin, ALT, AST, serum creatinine, prothrombin time, INR, etc.) were collected. LMR, MELD score, and CP score were calculated both in compensated and decompensated cirrhotic patients to assess the relationship with the severity of hepatic dysfunction. The correlation between LMR and the CP/MELD score was established by the Pearson correlation test. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and cut-off values of LMR were obtained, and areas under the ROC (AUROC) curve were calculated to identify the best LMR and/or the MELD score or CPS for predicting hepatic decompensation. The Bland-Altman plot and the Heliey- MacNeil test were used for comparison of measurement techniques. The data were analyzed with the help of SPSS version 20. Observation and Results: The mean age of the decompensated group was higher than that of the compensated group (p<0.05). The mean values for LMR and MELD and CP scores were 7.93±3.08, 5.25±0.43 & 7.10 ±1.19, respectively. Average LMR was significantly higher in compensated cirrhosis patients while CP and MELD Score was lower in that group (p<0.001). MELD and CP were positively correlated with each other (p<0.001). LMR was negatively correlated to both MELD and CP scores (p<0.001). Of all patients, only 4 died (3.3%) and rest 118 (96.7%) survived. The cut off value of LMR, CP and MELD were LMR ≤ 2.18 (sensitivity: 75%, specificity: 87.3%), CPS ≥13.5 (sensitivity: 75%, specificity: 98.3%) & MELD ≥30.5 (sensitivity: 75%, specificity: 94.9%) respectively. Pairwise comparison showed that the difference between the AUCs of MELD and LMR was not statistically significant (0.953 vs 0.887; p=0.081). Patients in the low LMR group showed decreased survival than those in the high LMR group (p=0.000). The no survived group had lower LMR and higher MELD and CP scores than those of the survived group (p<0.001). Conclusion: In comparison with Child-Pugh Score and MELD Score in the determination of hepatic dysfunction severity in cirrho
