QuickStroop for screening for minimal hepatic encephalopathy in patients with cirrhosis
QuickStroop, a shortened version of the Stroop EncephalApp, has recently been proposed for screening for MHE in patients with cirrhosis in the USA. In this study, we validated QuickStroop for patients in Germany with cirrhosis and demonstrate a good diagnostic accuracy for detecting MHE, especially in patients below 60 years of age. Additionally, QuickStroop might be superior to the ANT in patients below 60 years of age. The use of QuickStroop in clinical practice could facilitate screening for MHE.
