It is unclear if other more specific measurements of body composition are better predictors of outcomes post\u2010HT. This retrospective study included patients who underwent HT between 2014 and 2019 and underwent an abdominal CT scan within 3\u00a0months of HT. Tissue characterization was performed using Slice\u2010O\u2010Matic software to derive measurements including BMI, fat mass index (FMI), visceral adipose tissue to subcutaneous adipose tissue ratio (VAT\/SAT), fat free mass index (FFMI), and skeletal muscle index (SMI). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to investigate association of body composition variables by tertiles to 1\u00a0year mortality, readmission, primary graft dysfunction, length of stay, infection, and renal failure. Of the 104 patients, 80% were male and 56% were Caucasian. Highest and lowest BMI tertiles were significantly associated with an increased risk of hospital readmission within 1\u00a0year post HT (OR 3.4, [95%CI 1.1\u201311.4]; OR 5.9, [95% CI 1.7\u201325.1];\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a00.01) as well as an increased risk of infections requiring hospitalization (OR 3.2, [95% CI 1.2\u20139.0]; OR 3.9, [95%CI 1.4\u201311.7];\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0=\u00a00.02). FMI, VAT\/SAT, FFMI, and SMI were not associated with outcomes 1\u2010year post\u2010HT. Highest and lowest BMI tertiles were associated with increased rates of hospital readmission and infection in the first\u2010year post HT, while other measurements of body composition were not associated with any poor outcomes post\u2010HT. Although BMI does not predict mortality post\u2010HT, it can differentiate risk better than all other metrics.\n
