Cirrhosis is characterized by muscle wasting, malnutrition, and functional decline that confer
excess mortality not well quantified by the Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD) …

Background & Aims To date, studies evaluating the association between frailty and mortality
in patients with cirrhosis have been limited to assessments of frailty at a single time point …

OBJECTIVES: Frailty, a critical determinant of health outcomes, is most commonly assessed
in patients with cirrhosis by general clinician assessment that is limited by its subjectivity. We …

The risk of morbidity and mortality for hospitalized patients with cirrhosis is high and
incompletely captured by conventional indices. We sought to evaluate the predictive role of …

Abstract Background and Aims The Liver Frailty Index (LFI) is a well‐studied tool that
evaluates frailty in patients with cirrhosis. Consisting of grip strength, chair stands, and …

Background & Aims Frailty is associated with mortality in patients with cirrhosis. We
measured frailty using 3 simple tests and calculated Liver Frailty Index (LFI) scores for …

Prognostication of patients with cirrhosis is complex, depending on more than just the
severity of liver disease. Scores such as the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) and …

OBJECTIVES: Screening tools to determine which outpatients with cirrhosis are at highest
risk forunplannedhospitalization are lacking. Frailty is a novel prognostic factor but …

AIM To investigate the impact of physical frailty on risk of hospitalisation in cirrhotic patients
on the liver transplant waitlist. METHODS Cirrhotics listed for liver transplantation at a single …

We aimed to determine whether frailty, a validated geriatric construct of increased
vulnerability to physiologic stressors, predicts mortality in liver transplant candidates …
