Abstract:Background:
Minimal hepatic encephalopathy, defined by the portosystemic hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES), is associated with a higher risk of subsequent OHE. It remains unclear if there is a stepwise increase in OHE risk with worse PHES results.
Methods:
In this multicenter study, patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy, as defined by abnormal PHES, were followed for OHE development.
Results:
