Abstract:
Frailty, which predicts high dependency and mortality, is a major challenge for healthcare systems in nations that are rapidly aging and is receiving increasing attention. Cirrhosis is often combined with frailty, which has a significant impact on patient health outcomes. Understanding the risk factors for frailty, elucidating the mechanism of cirrhosis combined with frailty, and early recognition and slowing down the occurrence and development of frailty are of great significance for the prognosis of cirrhotic patients. This article reviews the current research status of cirrhosis combined with frailty, including the definition and risk factors, mechanism, correlation, and intervention measures, in order to improve understanding and provide assistance for strengthening early identification, management, and intervention.
