Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Minimal hepatic encephalopathy is the mildest form of the spectrum of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) that impairs health-related quality of life. We assessed (1) the usefulness of psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score and critical flicker frequency for the diagnosis of minimal hepatic encephalopathy, and (2) prognostic significance of minimal hepatic encephalopathy.
METHODS:One hundred patients with liver cirrhosis without overt HE were subjected to psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score and critical flicker frequency evaluation. Eighty-three age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers served as controls. Minimal hepatic encephalopathy was diagnosed when the psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score was
