Visceral obesity measured using computed tomography scans: No significant association with mortality in critically ill patients Open
No significant association of visceral obesity and BMI with 90-day mortality was observed in critically ill patients, although obesity and visceral obesity tended to be associated with improved 90-day mortality.

Validity of the “Rate‐a‐Plate” Method to Estimate Energy and Protein Intake in Acutely Ill, Hospitalized Patients Open
Background Prevalence of malnutrition in hospitals has been reported around 20% and increases during hospitalization. The “Rate‐a‐Plate” method has been developed to monitor dietary intake and identify patients whose nutrition status deter…

Skeletal muscle analyses: agreement between non‐contrast and contrast <span>CT</span> scan measurements of skeletal muscle area and mean muscle attenuation Open
Summary Low skeletal muscle area ( SMA ) and muscle radiation attenuation ( MRA ) have been associated with poor prognosis in various patient populations. Both non‐contrast and contrast CT scans are used to determine SMA and MRA . The effe…
