Do model for end-stage liver disease and model for end-stage liver disease-Na scores predict both before-listing and wait-list mortality?
Patients with a higher MELD, higher MELD-Na, and higher CPT score at referral were at greater risk for death without transplantation, especially before listing. Evaluation for transplantation candidacy is a time-consuming process. Therefore, earlier referral is mandatory to achieve successful listing for transplantation.
Slowing of neuromuscular activation rate is associated with compromised dynamic muscle performance, which may contribute to mobility limitations in some older adults. Future research should identify the precise neurophysiological impairments that contribute to declines in neuromuscular activation rate and mobility function with aging.
