Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to assess the degree of sarcopenia by CT and to analyze its association with morbidity and mortality after esophagectomy and / or total gastrectomy. It is also intended to analyze the association between the degree of the CT-guided sarcopenia and the nutritional status of the patients evaluated by clinical parameters, both preoperative and postoperative. Besides that, to verify the association between the degree of sarcopenia and body fat rate.

- measure
- Degree of sarcopenia
- timeFrame
- Preoperative - around 30 days before surgery
- description
- To assess skeletal muscle mass, areas of interest were considered those between -29 to +150 Hounsfield Units (HU), and converted to cm². The final value obtained was the skeletal muscle mass index (cm²/m²) (MMI), calculated by dividing the value obtained by height (m) squared and classified according to the cut-off points established.
