Mortality Prediction by Bedside Rectus Femoris Muscle Ultrasound for Sarcopenia Diagnosis in Liver Cirrhosis

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sarcopenia is common in patients with liver cirrhosis and is an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality. This prospective study assessed the performance of rectus femoris muscle (RFM) ultrasound in patients with liver cirrhosis to identify those at risk for sarcopenia as defined by the combination of low muscle mass and low
