Tokyo, Feb. 1 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000060503) titled 'Association between CT-derived psoas muscle area and volume indices on admission and clinical outcomes in elderly emergency admissions' on Feb. 1.
Study Type:
Observational
Primary Sponsor:
Institute - Hospital, National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology
Condition:
Condition - Sarcopenia in elderly emergency admissions
Classification by malignancy - Others
Genomic information - NO
Objective:
Narrative objectives1 - The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether psoas muscle volume index (PMVI), psoas muscle area index (PMA), and mean psoas muscle CT attenuation derived from admission CT scans can predict discharge outcomes (home discharge versus non-home discharge) in elderly patients admitted emergently.
The secondary objectives are: 1) To examine the association with length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality,2) To compare the predictive ability of PMVI, PMA, and muscle quality (CT value),3) To explore clinically applicable cutoff values for these indices.
Basic objectives2 - Others
