MELD Score and Transplant Offers – Region 9

I understand there are many variables when it comes to getting a liver offer. To your knowledge being listed in Region 9 currently (2011) what is the average MELD score receiving offers (blood type B)?  Thank you.
Do you notice many people seeing a sudden jump in MELD prior to transplant? Thank you docotor.

For blood type probably around 25 in region 9.  there are less overall B donors however that are available.  above MELD 30 B patients can also receive O donors.  Yes, many people do have a big jump in MELD for one reason or another, prior to getting transplanted.
