BACKGROUND & AIMS: Sarcopenia, defined as a low level of muscle mass, occurs in
patients with cirrhosis. We assessed its incidence among cirrhotic patients undergoing …

Aim Sarcopenia impairs the outcome of patients with liver cirrhosis independently of liver
function reserves. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the rate of skeletal …

Muscle depletion or sarcopenia is associated with increased mortality in patients with
cirrhosis; how it affects mortality after liver transplantation requires further study. In this study …

Background Sarcopenia has been reported as a prognostic factor. We evaluated the impact
of sarcopenia to the conventional prognostic factors [Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease …

Background & Aims The association between sarcopenia and prognosis in patients with
cirrhosis remains to be determined. In this study, we aimed to quantify the association …

Estimating the prognosis of patients with cirrhosis remains challenging, because the natural
history of cirrhosis varies according to the cause, presence of portal hypertension, liver …

Background & Aims The severe depletion of muscle mass at the third lumbar vertebral level
(sarcopenia) is a marker of malnutrition and is independently associated with mortality in …

Abstract Background and Aims Sarcopenia or skeletal muscle loss adversely affects
outcomes in cirrhosis. The impact of aetiology of liver disease on the severity or the rate of …

Objective Although the prognosis is known to be poor in cirrhosis patients associated with
sarcopenia, the relationships among skeletal muscle, visceral fat, and the liver have not yet …

Although sarcopenia is a common complication of cirrhosis, its diagnosis remains
nonconsensual: computed tomography (CT) scan determinations vary and no cutoff values …
