Psoas muscle index and psoas muscle density as predictors of mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the associations of computed tomography (CT)-measured psoas muscle index (PMI: psoas muscle area normalized by height) and psoas muscle density (PMD: average of bilateral psoas muscle CT values [Hounsfield unit (HU)]) with mortality in patients undergoing hem...
