Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to standardize the Psychometric Hepatic Encephalopathy Score (PHES) for Turkish patients and compare it with German norms, focusing on the prevalence of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (mHE) using both PHES and Critical Flicker Frequency (CFF) methods.
- A total of 940 individuals participated—816 healthy volunteers and 124 cirrhotic patients—with findings showing a mHE prevalence of 29.8% using PHES and 27.4% with CFF; however, the compatibility between the two tests was low.
- The results concluded that using both PHES and CFF is vital for research, and the combination of specific subtests (Digit Symbol
