“…A root mean square is calculated to quantify the EMG signals that are output as a function of time. 18,19,20 However, studies are limited, and thus far, the method is believed to be inefficient, given the predominance of muscle loss due to ascites and asthenia in patients with liver disease. 18 In contrast, respiratory muscle strength can be assessed by measuring maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) through manovacuometry.…”

“…23 Although its primary indication typically revolves around studying the response of medical therapy in moderate to severe heart and lung disease, it has been recently used in determining the functional capacity of patients with liver disease and as a predictor of mortality in liver transplant candidates. 20,21,[24][25][26] Compared to healthy patients, patients with liver disease typically exhibited a shorter distance walked which was also related to the severity of liver disease. 26 This distance walked is correlated with MIP and MEP.…”

“…Quality of life is measured using the SF‐36 and Measuring Quality of Life at the End of Life (QUAL‐E) questionnaire. The SF‐36 is a multi‐purpose health survey with 36 questions and has been used in surveys of general and specific populations including patients with ESLD (dos Santos et al, ; Garratt, Ruta, Abdalla, & Russell, ). The SF‐36 yields an 8‐scale profile of functional health and well‐being scores as well as physical and mental health summary measures, and a preference‐based health utility index (Brazier et al, ).…”
