Inpatients with cirrhosis have worse liver function and functional status than outpatients

	Outpatient Cirrhosis (n = 10)	Inpatient Cirrhosis (n = 22)	P-value
Total SIP	14.8 ± 8.3 (n = 9)	32.2 ± 16.6 (n = 15)	0.005
Physical SIP	12.6 ± 7.4	34.5 ± 20.2	0.002
Psychosocial SIP	13.4 ± 9.1	23.3 ± 21.8	0.16
Day 0 MELD-Na	9.4 ± 2.2	22.1 ± 10.6	<0.0001
Day 1 MELD-Na	9.7 ± 2.5	23.4 ± 10.4	<0.0001
Day 2 MELD-Na	9.1 ± 1.9	26.6 ± 9.7	<0.0001
Transplant-free survival (1 year)	9 (90%)	9 (41%)	0.001

Data are presented as mean ± SD unless otherwise noted. The SIP scores are a quality-of-life summary assessments and higher scores indicate lower quality of life. The MELD-Na score ranges from 6-40 with higher scores associated with higher risks of short-term mortality.
