Background The impact of sarcopenia estimated by the skeletal muscle mass or quality on
survival remains controversial in patients with aortic aneurysm. This meta-analysis aimed to …

Introduction The aims of this study were as follows: i) to identify the prevalence of sarcopenia
in patients undergoing elective endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for intact abdominal aortic …

Objective Sarcopenia measured by decreased psoas muscle size has been used as a
surrogate for frailty and correlates with adverse outcomes in both the short and long term …

Sarcopenia is characterised by chronically reduced skeletal muscle volume and function,
and is determined radiologically by psoas and skeletal muscle measurement. The present …

Background Sarcopenia has assumed growing relevance as a morbimortality predictor after
major abdominal surgery. The aim of this study is to access total psoas muscle area (TPA) …

Objective/Background Low psoas muscle mass is associated with increased mortality and
morbidity after surgery. Recent evidence has linked low psoas muscle mass with survival …

Objective Preoperative sarcopenia is an established risk factor for poor outcomes after
surgery. Methods for assessing sarcopenia are either complex, time consuming, or poorly …

Background Preoperatively detected sarcopenia as reflected by psoas muscle area (PMA) is
associated with postoperative mortality after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. We …

Background Sarcopenia is associated with mortality after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
repair. The reliability of computed tomography (CT) core muscle areas and quality—that is …

Objective Sarcopenia, defined as a loss of muscle mass or poor muscle quality, is a
syndrome associated with poor surgical outcomes. The prognostic value of sarcopenia in …
