Temporalis muscle thickness correlates with premorbid frailty in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest
We found that TMT exhibits a moderate negative correlation with the CFS, supporting TMT as a tool to measure frailty. Measuring TMT in patients with early head CTs after resuscitation from cardiac arrest may allow for characterization of sarcopenia as a dimension of pre-arrest frailty.
