U.S., Aug. 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07761481) titled 'CT-Determined Sarcopenia and Mortality in Critically Ill Cancer Patients' on Aug. 05.
Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the association between computed tomography-determined sarcopenia and muscle quality impairment with 28-day mortality in adult patients (aged 18 and older) with solid or hematologic malignancies admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
The main question it aims to answer is: Is lower psoas muscle quality, calculated using the Hounsfield Unit Average Calculation (HUAC), associated with increased 28-day mortality in critically ill cancer patients? Researchers will compare patients ...
