Figure 2. Change in lure performance on the ICT in patients before and after the development of overt hepatic encephalopathy.

Figure 2

Figure 2

Figure 2A: There was a significant improvement in lures before overt HE development.

Figure 2B: After those patients developed overt HE, this learning effect on lures disappeared. Fourteen of 15 (93%) patients were able to learn the ICT before developing overt HE while only 4 (26%) were able to reduce their lures once they developed overt HE (p=0.0001). I–III lures: Lures in the 1st half of the ICT, IV–VI lures: Lures in the 2nd half of the ICT, OHE: overt hepatic encephalopathy controlled on lactulose therapy.
