Telerehabilitation for frail cirrhotic patients awaiting liver transplant: A safe, effective strategy to improve outcomes

Figure 1 Patient flow through screening, allocation, and telerehabilitation phases. Patients listed for liver transplantation were assessed at Visit 1 and screened using the Liver Frailty Index. Robust individuals were excluded from the telerehabilitation programme but received standard walking recommendations. Pre-frail and frail patients were evaluated for inclusion; 46 were excluded due to refusal, unavailability of resources, clinical contraindications, or early loss to follow-up. A total of 57 patients initiated telerehabilitation, of whom 17 were considered adherent (≥ 50% session attendance) and 40 were non-adherent.
