Sarcopenia is the independent predictor of mortality in critically ill patients with cirrhosis.
Journal of clinical and translational research(2022)
Abstract
Almost 70% of patients with chronic liver disease admitted to the ICU have low muscle mass (sarcopenia). The presence of sarcopenia per se makes them highly prone to infections and increases the chances of death by almost 4-fold; thus, highlighting the importance of nutrition optimization in this patient group.
