The influence of prehabilitation in patients with liver cirrhosis before liver transplantation: a randomized clinical trial

CONCLUSIONS: Despite the great effort to maintain adherence, it was not possible to draw a conclusion about the effectiveness of prehabilitation in patients before liver transplantation compared to standard of care because the main problem in Slovak patients with liver cirrhosis is low adherence. More studies are needed to identify the barriers that lead to low adherence in patients with liver cirrhosis.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: A promising result was found due to improvement of the Liver Frailty Index and the Child-Pugh Score after one month in the prehabilitation group.PMID:38059578 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.23.08130-3
