and enter the brain.1 Hepatic encephalopathy is one of the major complications of cirrhosis (scarring of the liver),
and a leading cause of hospital re-admission due to its recurrence, despite treatment.1 It can occur suddenly in people with acute liver failure, but is seen
more often in those with chronic liver disease.1 Symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy include mild confusion, forgetfulness, poor concentration
and personality or
mood changes, but can progress to extreme
anxiety, seizures, severe confusion, jumbled
and slurred speech
and slow movement.1 The first step in treatment is to identify
and treat any factors that cause hepatic encephalopathy.2 Once the episode has resolved, further treatment aims to reduce the production
and absorption of toxins, such as ammonia.1 Generally, there are two types of medication used to reduce the likelihood of another hepatic encephalopathy episode — lactulose
and rifaximin.2 However, it remains a leading cause of hospitalisations

This increase in risk in the very preterm group is consistent with the sparse literature describing the association between gestational age
and parent's mental health, where others have also suggested that degree of prematurity is an important factor for maternal depressive symptoms.41 Suggested antecedents of PD include a trigger event resulting in a stress (fight or flight) response, symptoms (eg, fatigue), perceived loss of control
and ineffective coping.10 This may fit the pattern of parents who experience a very preterm baby leading to an increased risk of PD,

and all perceived self - esteem
and self - concept scales], (b) items that fall on
more than one subscale (e.g., CBCL - 1991 version), (c) low alpha coefficients (e.g., below.60) for some subscales, which calls into question the utility of using these subscales in research
and clinical work (e.g., HFQ, MMPI - A, CBCL - 1991 version, BASC, PSPCSAYC), (d) high correlations between subscales (e.g., PANAS - C), (e) lack of clarity regarding clinically - relevant cut - off scores, yielding high false positive
and false negative rates (e.g., CES - D, CDI)
and an inability to distinguish between minor (i.e., subclinical)
and major (i.e., clinical) «cases» of a disorder (e.g., depression; CDI, BDI), (f) lack of correspondence between items
and DSM criteria (e.g., CBCL - 1991 version, CDI, BDI, CES - D, (g) a factor structure that lacks clarity across studies (e.g., PSPCSAYC, CASI; although the factor structure is often difficult to assess in studies of pediatric populations, given the small sample sizes), (h) low inter-rater reliability for interview
and observational methods (e.g., CGAS), (i) low correlations between respondents such as child, parent, teacher [e.g., BASC, PSPCSAYC, CSI, FSSC - R, SCARED, Connors Ratings Scales - Revised (CRS - R)-RSB-, (j) the inclusion of somatic or physical symptom items on mental health subscales (e.g., CBCL), which is a problem when conducting studies of children with pediatric physical conditions because physical symptoms may be a feature of the condition rather than an indicator of a mental health problem, (k) high correlations with measures of social desirability, which is particularly problematic for the self - related rating scales
and for child - report scales
more generally,
