Abstract

We developed and validated a model to identify patients with cirrhosis at risk for overt HE based on previous HE, albumin levels, and PHES. If PHES was not available, previous HE and albumin levels still can identify patients at risk. Psychometric evaluation is essential for patients with no history of HE. These findings should aid in planning studies of pharmacologic prevention of overt HE.
