Abstract
Among the abdominal CT–based body composition measurements typically available before liver transplant, sarcopenia was the only binary factor significantly associated with posttransplant outcomes. Background Pre–liver transplant (LT) sarcopenia is associated with poor survival. Methods exist for measuring body composition with use of CT scans; however, it is unclear which components best pre...Keywords
