Systematic review demonstrates the impact of cardiorespiratory fitness on prognosis in cirrhosis, suggesting prediction improvements.
VO2Peak below 17 mL.min-1.kg-1 (5 METS) or an AT under 9 mL.min-1.kg-1 (2.5METS), consistently indicate worse outcomes. Assessing CRF could help to improve mortality and morbidity prediction and AT seems to be the best tool to predict the prognosis in patients with cirrhosis.
