Liver transplant study aims to predict outcomes by measuring frailty
NCT ID NCT03870568
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether simple tests of frailty—like grip strength, walking speed, and weight loss—can predict how well liver transplant patients do before and after surgery. Researchers planned to follow 300 adults with end-stage liver disease who were waiting for a transplant. However, the study was terminated early, so the findings are incomplete.
