Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Purpose: Cirrhotic patients frequently experience hepatic encephalopathy (HE) which may present as severe mental status change. Neurologic disturbances are common immediately post-liver transplant (LT) and may range from confusion to delirium to focal motor deficits. This study analyzes the impact of pre-LT hepatic encephalopathy on the need for early post-LT neurologic evaluation and testing, as well as long term clinical outcomes for patients with HE and post-LT neurologic changes.
