Background We compared the evaluation of skeletal muscle mass (SMM) using the computed tomography (CT) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) methods in critically ill patients. We also evaluated whether BIA can be applied for measuring SM with high accuracy to critically ill patients. Methods We included 135 critically ill surgical patients (83 men and 52 women, mean age: 59.3 years) who got the BIA and abdominal CT scan both within 7 days during the intensive care unit (ICU) stay. With CT scan, skeletal muscle area …
