Optimal Skeletal Muscle Mass Index Cut-Off Values for Presarcopenia Evaluated by Computed Tomography against Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease

Optimal Skeletal Muscle Mass Index Cut-Off Values for Presarcopenia Evaluated by Computed Tomography against Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease

Although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and body impedance analysis are commonly used to measure skeletal muscle mass (SMM), a computed tomography (CT) scan is preferred in clinical practice. We aimed to propose the cut-off values of skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) calculated using CT scans...
