What is Frailty As Tested by Gait Speed Is An Independent Risk Factor For Cirrhosis Complications That Require Hospitalization about?

This study investigates the relationship between frailty, as measured by gait speed and grip strength, and hospitalization for complications of cirrhosis in 373 patients awaiting liver transplantation. Results indicate that decreased gait speed is a significant independent risk factor for increased hospital days, with each 0.1 m/s decrease correlating to a 22% increase in hospital days. The findings suggest that frailty assessments could be valuable in predicting hospitalization risks and warrant further ex
