Psychomotor Speed From Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy Testing Is Associated With Physical Frailty in Patients With Advanced Chronic Liver Disease
The findings suggest that the LFI score in this population reflects its ability to capture the crucial role of psychomotor speed, particularly evident in off-time performance, thus connecting neurocognitive and physical function. Further research is warranted to investigate the effectiveness of interventions targeting cognitive and physical impairments to enhance clinical outcomes in patients with AdvCLD.
