Determinants of pre‐transplantation pectoralis muscle area (PMA) and post‐transplantation change in PMA in lung transplant recipients

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.

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
