Therefore, improving candidate selection and risk stratification for these patients has become a high-priority research focus. Incorporating objective markers of frailty such as sarcopenia in the pretransplant evaluation may help achieve this goal. We evaluated the association between CT-measured psoas muscle sarcopenia and early LTx outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We performed a retrospective study including patients who underwent LTx from 2014 to 2018 at our institution with available chest and abdominal CT scans in the year prior to LTx. The psoas cross-sectional area was measured, and previously established sex-specific cutoffs were used to define sarcopenia. We compared sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic LTx recipients regarding 1-year mortality and perioperative outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 140 patients were included, who received LTx primarily for interstitial lung disease (ILD) (n\u2009=\u200975, 53%) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (n\u2009=\u200954, 39%). Forty-six (33%) were sarcopenic. We found no association between psoas sarcopenia and 1-year all-cause mortality (multivariable P\u2009=\u2009.13) nor perioperative complications or FEV1 at 1 year post-LTx. Exploratory subgroup analysis revealed an association between psoas sarcopenia and 1-year all-cause mortality in patients with ILD (multivariable P\u2009=\u2009.042).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pre-established sex-specific cutoffs for psoas sarcopenia did not reach statistical significance for 1-year mortality or perioperative outcomes in the overall cohort; given the limited statistical power, a clinically meaningful association cannot be excluded. An exploratory signal in ILD patients warrants further investigation. Future studies may benefit from disease-specific threshold validation and the integration of muscle strength and physical performance alongside muscle mass assessment.<\/jats:p>\n
