Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: ENROLLING_BY_INVITATION
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 70 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2024-02-01

Brief Summary

The goal of clinical trial is to compare using pedometer in sarcopenic cirrhotic patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Did the encourage using pedometer group had higher change of skeletal muscle index (SMI) than discourage using pedometer group?

2. How many of patients who had sarcopenic improvement in both groups at 6 months after enrollment?

3. What is the mortality rate and hospital admission in both groups at 12 months after enrollment?
