Psoas muscle area (PMA) can reflect the status of skeletal muscle in the whole body. It has been also reported that decreased PMA was associated with postoperative mortality or morbidity after several surgical procedures. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relation between PMA and mortality in all age groups in intensive care unit (UNIT).<jats:italic> Materials and Method<\/jats:italic>. The study consists of 362 consecutive patients. The demographic characteristics of patients, indications for ICU hospitalization, laboratory parameters, and clinical parameters consist of mortality and length of stay, and surgery history was obtained from intensive care archive records.<jats:italic> Results<\/jats:italic>. The mean age was <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mn fontstyle=\"italic\">61.2<\/mml:mn><mml:mo>\u00b1<\/mml:mo><mml:mn fontstyle=\"italic\">18.2<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math> years, and the percentage of female was 33.3%.

Dyspnoea, renal insufficiency, COPD, transfusion rate, operation rate, ventilator needy, and mean duration of hospitalization were statistically significant higher in patients with exitus. There is a significant difference in operation types, anesthesia type, and clinic rates.<jats:italic> Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Our data suggest that sarcopenia can be used to risk stratification in ICU patients. Future studies may use this technique to individualize postoperative interventions that may reduce the risk for an adverse discharge disposition related to critical illness, such as early mobilization, optimized nutritional support, and reduction of sedation and opioid dose.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/5263208","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,12]],"date-time":"2018-02-12T18:32:55Z","timestamp":1518460375000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["The
