NCT ID NCT07727070
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows about 400 adults with liver cirrhosis admitted to internal medicine wards across Italy. Researchers will track how doctors manage hepatic encephalopathy—a brain complication of liver disease—during hospitalization and after discharge. The goal is to identify problems in care that may lead to repeat hospital stays and find ways to prevent them.
