Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will compare two forms of advice regarding physical activity for patients hospitalized with cirrhosis that are preparing for leaving the hospital. One arm consists of current standard of care: simple oral advice on exercise. One arm instead gives patients a structured but simple paper template on physical activity.
