Psoas:lumbar vertebra index: central sarcopenia independently predicts morbidity in elderly trauma patients
2014
Introduction
Central sarcopenia as a surrogate for frailty has recently been studied as a predictor of outcome in elderly medical patients, but less is known about how this metric relates to outcomes after trauma. We hypothesized that psoas:lumbar vertebral index (PLVI), a measure of central sarcopenia, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in elderly trauma patients.
