Article Synopsis
- Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is a common issue in liver cirrhosis and is assessed using the portosystemic hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES), with existing German normal values applied to Danish patients.
- A study involving 200 Danish and 217 German healthy participants assessed performance on various psychometric tests to evaluate the appropriateness of these German norms for the Danish population.
- Results showed that the performance of Danish participants differed from Germans, necessitating the establishment of new Danish normal values, which led to a lower percentage of MHE diagnoses when used compared to the German values.
