Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Functional connectivity and structural alterations between individuals with different subtypes of HE and healthy subjects.

Functional connectivity calculation is mainly based on the BOLD sequence, which is used to describe the degree of connectivity between different brain regions and reflect the functional activity of the brain. Gray matter (GM) morphological destruction, cortical thickness, and subcortical nuclear volume in patients with hepatic encephalopathy were analyzed based on structural magnetic resonance imaging(sMRI).

Time frame
5 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Correlation between spectral features of clinical variables and spectral features of imaging.

The clinical variable spectrum characteristics were constructed using the patients' medical records and test data. The distribution characteristics of clinical psychological characteristics and imaging spectrum characteristics were compared using a multidimensional matrix, and gene-imaging association analysis was used to evaluate imaging changes.
