Assessment of the psoas muscle index (PMI). Sarcopenia was assessed by measuring the longest diameter (D1) and the perpendicular diameter (D2) of the right (ri) and left (le) psoas muscle on an axial computed tomography (CT) scan in the same plane and normalizing it for the patients’ height squared. This value is referred to as the psoas muscle index (PMI).
