Lean body mass in computed tomography as a marker of nutritional status in enterocutaneous fistulae: A cross sectional study
Clinical Nutrition ESPEN(2018)
Abstract
We aimed to investigate the correlation between body weight, body mass index, albumin levels and radiological indices of lean body mass in patients undergoing enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) repair with surgical outcomes. Biochemistry parameters and anthropometric characteristics at the time of ECF surgery were collected for a set of patients undergoing ECF repair. Skeletal muscle and visceral and subcutaneous adiposity was measured at the level of the L3 region (slice and volumetric analysis, Image J). Statistical analysis was performed with percentages, means, Spearman’s rho and dendrograms based on hierarchical clustering.
