NCT ID NCT07414095
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how frailty, muscle loss, nutrition, and mental health affect people waiting for a liver transplant. Researchers will test physical strength, walking ability, and daily living skills, and also check nutrition and psychological well-being. The goal is to see which factors predict better or worse outcomes after transplant, such as hospital stay length and survival. The study includes 60 adults aged 18-65 who are on the liver transplant list and can understand Turkish.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors identify high-risk liver transplant candidates earlier and design better support programs to improve recovery and survival.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any new therapy, and results may not lead to immediate changes in patient care.
