Mortality Prediction by Bedside Rectus Femoris Muscle Ultrasound for Sarcopenia Diagnosis in Liver Cirrhosis
Rectus femoris muscle ultrasound is a feasible bedside method for identifying patients with liver cirrhosis at risk of sarcopenia. Sarcopenia as diagnosed by prolonged CRT together with low RFM mass by ultrasound is an independent predictor for 6-month mortality, highlighting the clinical utility of RFM ultrasound in diagnosing sarcopenia.
