Abstract

cirrhosis Digestive Conditions, Disorders and Treatments heart rate variability Liver Original Poincaré plot survival temperature variability Thermoregulation
This report provides evidence that the pattern of skin temperature fluctuations predicts survival in patients with chronic liver disease independently of standard prognostic indicators (i.e. markers of the severity of liver failure and cardiac autonomic dysfunction). This finding extends our knowledge about the potential application of physio‐markers in the clinical assessment of patients with cirrhosis for organ transplant allocation.
