ABSTRACT
Minimal hepatic encephalopathy(MHE) is an early stage of hepatic encephalopathy with an insidious onset and a high rate of missed diagnosis in clinical practice, and it is of great importance to diagnose MHE as early as possible and provide effective clinical intervention. There are many diagnostic methods for MHE, among which psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score is the most commonly used method at present, but its wide application in clinical practice is limited by its complex and time-consuming operation, and therefore, it is urgent to find a simple, rapid, and effective clinical diagnostic method. Stroop test is a test for psychomotor speed and cognitive flexibility, and its value in the diagnosis of MHE has been verified in various countries including the United States and South Korea. This article introduces the development of Stroop test and its application in MHE, and the analysis shows that Stroop test based on mobile devices has a high sensitivity in the diagnosis of MHE and is simple, convenient, and feasible. It is hoped that this test can be widely used in the clinical work of MHE screening in China in the future.
