Prediction of Mortality in Patients Waiting for Liver Transplantation Through Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging

NCT01434056 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 400

Last updated 2011-09-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether hepatic encephalopathy, measured through magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalogram and neuropsychological evaluation adds prognostic information to patients who are waiting for liver transplantation. If this model improves mortality prediction this might be used in the future for organ allocation.
