Abstract

This letter reviews Loschi et al's study evaluating structured telerehabilitation for frail cirrhotic liver transplant candidates, which fills a critical pre-transplant care gap. The video-based program, using low-cost tools and asynchronous sessions, improved liver frailty index reduction and function in adherent patients (29.8%) although a high attrition rate (70%) highlighted engagement challenges. Limitations include a small, non-randomized sample, mixed frailty subgroups, and unexplored long-term effects. Future directions emphasize hybrid models, patient-centered barrier analysis, and policy-driven frailty screening. This work advances digital health for cirrhosis; however, larger trials are needed to optimize outcomes.
