Association of low skeletal muscle mass and radiodensity with clinical outcomes in patients undergoing robotic radical gastric cancer surgery: a population-based retrospective cohort study
Sarcopenia and myosteatosis independently and additively associate with increased postoperative complications, mortality, and worse prognosis after robotic gastric cancer surgery. Identifying sarcopenia and myosteatosis preoperatively could inform risk assessments and guide management to improve surgical outcomes.
