CT parameters of psoas muscle predicts 28-day mortality in older patients with sepsis: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Odjectives

To investigate the predictive value of computed tomography (CT)-based transverse diameter (TD) and longitudinal diameter (LD) of the psoas muscle at the level of third lumbar vertebra for 28-day mortality in older patients with sepsis.

Methods

This retrospective single-center cohort study included 115 septic patients aged over 65 years old who were admitted to ICU in Beijing-Chaoyang Hospital between July 2017 and July 2022. The TD and LD of psoas muscle were obtained by measurement on abdominal CT images. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the prognostic factors for 28-day mortality in older patients with sepsis, and their predictive performances were evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
