Researchers test strength and balance to predict liver transplant success
NCT ID NCT03870568
Summary
This study aimed to understand how physical weakness and frailty affect people with severe liver disease before and after liver transplant. Researchers measured 411 patients' strength, walking speed, balance, and daily activity abilities to see if these tests could predict recovery and survival. The goal was to create fair, objective tools to help decide who gets a transplant and how they might do afterwards.
