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 observational study investigates the impact of nutritional factors on the prognosis of patients with liver cirrhosis. It collects data on various health metrics, including resting energy expenditure, albumin levels, and muscle function, to assess their relationship with long-term outcomes. Participants are followed up regularly, and survival curves and predictive models are developed based on the collected data. The study aims to enhance existing prognostic tools by incorporating nutritional and functional status into the evaluation of cirrhosis patients.
