Exercise Intervention - and Impact on Hospitalization

March 3, 2021 updated by: Kymberly D. Watt, Mayo Clinic

Exercise Intervention and Its Impact on Hospitalization - a Mulitcentered Study

Skeletal muscle abnormalities (sarcopenia) and frailty are common complications seen in patients with end-stage liver disease. The presence of these complications portends poor prognosis. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a formal home based video strengthening program (REST) on sarcopenia and frailty. We also want to assess the impact of this exercise program on complication rates, hospitalization, on quality of life (QOL) and on survival.
