With regard to hepatic encephalopathy the CRT was better for classification than NCT; respectively 86% and 64% were correctly classified. The NCT could not separate the patient with brain damage from the patients with hepatic encephalopathy, whereas CRT could classify respectively 95% and 86% correctly. When the tests were performed on five successive days, the NCT scores showed a learning effect, whereas the CRT gave stable measures.
