Chronic kidney disease in cirrhosis: a study of inpatients from a global perspective.

Gut·2026

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology and clinical neurology.
  • Digital health and patient-reported outcomes.

Background:

  • Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are vital for assessing chronic disease impact but often overlooked in clinical settings.
  • Cirrhosis frequently leads to impaired PROs, potentially caused by covert hepatic encephalopathy (CHE).
  • Current CHE testing faces clinical relevance and logistical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the EncephalApp Stroop App as a tool for diagnosing covert hepatic encephalopathy (CHE).
  • To highlight the potential of digital health solutions in addressing barriers to diagnosing CHE in cirrhosis patients.

Main Methods:

  • Development and implementation of the EncephalApp Stroop App for CHE diagnosis.
  • Utilizing a primer to discuss the app as a case study.

Main Results:

  • The EncephalApp Stroop App is currently being utilized for CHE diagnosis.
  • The study presents a novel approach to overcome barriers in routine CHE assessment.

Conclusions:

  • The EncephalApp Stroop App offers a practical solution for diagnosing CHE in cirrhosis.
  • This digital health approach may be adaptable for assessing other chronic conditions with impaired PROs.
