Medical Review

Current review status

Honesty first: Content is currently under review by our advisory board. Named physician reviewers are not yet listed on individual calculators. They will be added on a per-calculator basis as advisors are onboarded — with full name, specialty, and last-reviewed date. We will not list reviewer names until a real review has occurred.

If you are a licensed physician interested in reviewing one or more calculators in your specialty, please email contact@quickmedcalc.com.

How calculators are implemented

Every calculator on MedCalcHub is built through the following steps:

1. Source selection. We identify the primary published paper (e.g. Kamath 2001 for MELD) or authoritative guideline (e.g. UNOS policy, WHO, AHA/ACC) that defines the scoring system.
2. Formula implementation. We transcribe the formula and any thresholds directly from the primary source. Unit conversions (mg/dL vs µmol/L, for example) are made explicit.
3. Cross-check. We verify output against published worked examples and against at least one other established reference (e.g. MDCalc, UpToDate, original paper table) before publishing.
4. Interpretation and FAQ. Plain-language interpretation is written to describe what the score means clinically and the most common questions clinicians ask about it.
5. References. Each page lists the primary papers and guidelines, hyperlinked to PubMed or DOI wherever available.

What we do not claim

• We do not claim that every calculator has been individually reviewed by a board-certified specialist at this time. When that becomes true, a named reviewer and last-reviewed date will appear on the relevant calculator page.
• We do not claim MedCalcHub is a substitute for professional medical judgement. See our Terms of Use.

Corrections policy

Medical content corrections are treated as the highest priority category of feedback we receive. If you identify a formula error, an outdated threshold, a superseded guideline, or a misleading interpretation:

1. Email contact@quickmedcalc.com with the calculator name, the specific issue, and (if possible) the source supporting the correction.
2. We aim to acknowledge corrections within a few business days and publish fixes as quickly as verification allows.
3. When a correction is published, the calculator's last-updated date is bumped. Significant corrections are noted in a change log at the bottom of the page.

Guideline-currency commitment

Clinical guidelines evolve. Where a guideline has been superseded (for example, MELD 3.0 replacing MELD-Na for UNOS allocation in 2023), we aim to note the successor on the affected calculator page so the user can assess whether the tool still fits their use case.

Conflicts of interest

MedCalcHub does not currently accept advertising, sponsorship, or industry funding. If that ever changes, we will disclose it here. The site is currently self-funded.
