Zusammenfassung: | Background
This study aimed to determine predictors of pectoralis muscle area (PMA) and assess change in PMA following lung transplantation and its relationship to outcomes.
Methods
A retrospective review of 88 lung transplant recipients at a single center was performed. PMA was determined on a single axial slice from chest computerized tomography. Pectoralis muscle index (PMI) was calculated from the PMA divided by the height squared.
Results
PMI decreased post‐transplantation (8.1±2.8 cm2/m2 pre‐transplantation, 7.5±2.9 cm2/m2 at 6 months, and 7.6±2.7 cm2/m2 at 12 months, P |
