Core Tip	The psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) has been standardized in several countries, but requires further validation in China. The authors aimed to evaluate the usefulness of PHES for the diagnosis of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) among Chinese patients with liver cirrhosis. In China, the results of the five neuropsychological tests of PHES were influenced by age and educational status. In total, 49.1% of the patients with cirrhosis were classified as having MHE, and the proportion of MHE was associated with the severity of liver function. Number connection test-A and digit symbol test are simple and useful tools that can be used for the diagnosis of MHE in China.
