The Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Frailty in Liver Transplant Candidates (NCT05935800)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Frailty is associated with higher rates of morbidity, mortality, and failure to rescue after major surgical procedures. Sarcopenia is degenerative loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. It is a key component of physical frailty and is associated with poorer post-surgical outcomes due to decreased patient strength and vitality.
