Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates two nutritional screening questionnaires specifically designed for patients with liver cirrhosis. All participants will undergo assessments using both questionnaires alongside a complete nutritional evaluation. The goal is to improve the identification of malnutrition in these patients, which is crucial for enhancing clinical outcomes and quality of life. By utilizing these tailored screening tools, the study aims to address the challenges posed by traditional methods that may not be suitable for cirrhotic patients.
