Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy in Cirrhotic Patients: A New Simple and Fast Digital Screening Method
All 3 digital tests proved to be suitable for screening of minimal hepatic encephalopathy. TT showed the highest correlation with reference PHES and was not affected by language skills or color blindness, and, thus, might represent a new and fast method for minimal hepatic encephalopathy detection. Intra-individually adjusted smartphone-based thresholds might further eliminate the influence of age, gender, educational level or training, to refine early app-based alerts in case of cognitive deterioration in cirrhotic patients.
