Core Tip	This study demonstrates a significant independent link between bedside measures of physical frailty and risk for hospitalisation in cirrhotic patients on the liver transplant waitlist. This adds to previous data showing a link between frailty and mortality in cirrhosis, and therefore allows us to better select at-risk cirrhotic patients who are most in need of more intense chronic disease management programs.
