Patients were followed for 1 y to verify the incidence major complications, need transplantation, death. Results Among patients cirrhosis, 88% Child-Pugh A only 12% B. these, prevalences 28% SGA, 18.7% PNI, 63% HG (P Conclusions There was a high prevalence cirrhotic outpatients, especially when assessed HG, which superior SGA PNI this study. technique that predicted significant complications undernourished patients.
