Increased 1-year mortality rates after hip fracture surgery in geriatric patients with skeletal muscle atrophy: a propensity score-matched study
To investigate the relationship between skeletal muscle atrophy (SMA), assessed using chest CT-derived skeletal muscle index (SMI) at the T12 vertebra level, and 1-year mortality in geriatric patients following hip fracture surgery. After applying exclusion criteria, 1,243 patients (514 SMA) were analyzed. SMA was diag...
