Abstract:IntroductionFrailty and sarcopenia are associated with an increased risk of hospitalization and mortality in patients with end‐stage liver disease. The ability to identify frail patients at risk of adverse outcomes could help optimize liver transplant (LT) evaluations and pre‐transplant care. This study compared sarcopenia, via L3‐psoas muscle index (L3‐PMI), to frailty, via liver frailty index (LFI) and analyzed associated outcomes after liver transplantation (LT).MethodsA retrospective review of consecutive … Show more
