Impact of Sarcopenia on Simultaneous Pancreas and Kidney Transplantation Outcomes: A Retrospective Observational Cohort Study.


ABSTRACT: Background:Sarcopenia has been identified as a predictive variable for surgical outcomes. We hypothesized that sarcopenia could be a key measure to identify frail patients and potentially predict poorer outcomes among recipients of simultaneous pancreas and kidney (SPK) transplants. Methods:We estimated sarcopenia by measuring psoas muscle mass index (PMI). PMI was assessed on perioperative computed tomography (CT) scans of SPK recipients. Results:Of the 141 patients identified between 2010 and 2018, 107 had a CT scan available and were included in the study. The median follow-up was 4 years (range, 0.5-9.1 y). Twenty-three patients had a low PMI, and 84 patients had a normal PMI. Patient characteristics were similar between the 2 groups except for body mass index, which was significantly lower in low PMI group (P?
