Computed tomography‐determined skeletal muscle density predicts 3‐year mortality in initial‐dialysis patients in China

Abstract Background Skeletal muscle mass and quality assessed by computed tomography (CT) images of the third lumbar vertebra (L3) level have been established as risk factors for poor clinical outcomes in several illnesses, but the relevance for dialysis patients is unclear. A few studies have sugge...
