Summary
This study looked at 411 adults with advanced liver disease who were waiting for a liver transplant. Researchers measured frailty using simple tests like grip strength, walking speed, and weight loss to see if frailty could predict how well patients do before and after transplant. The goal was to create a fairer way to allocate donor livers based on objective health measures.
