@entity6288 Does Not Affect Survival or Outcomes in Soft-Tissue XXXX .

@entity1 @entity242 @entity5 @entity189 @entity6288 @entity86
Background and Objective. @entity6288 is associated with decreased survival and increased complications in @entity189 @entity1 . We hypothesized that sarcopenic soft-tissue @entity242 (STS) @entity1 would have decreased survival, increased incidence of wound complications, and increased length of postresection hospital stay (LOS). Methods. A retrospective, single-center review of 137 @entity1 treated surgically for STS was conducted. @entity6288 was assessed by measuring the cross-sectional area of bilateral psoas muscles (total psoas muscle area, TPA) at the level of the third lumbar vertebrae on a pretreatment axial computed tomography scan. TPA was then adjusted for height (cm(2)/m(2)). The association between height-adjusted TPA and survival was assessed using Cox proportional hazard model. A logistical model was used to assess the association between height-adjusted TPA and wound complications. A linear model was used to assess the association between height-adjusted TPA and LOS. Results. Height-adjusted TPA was not an independent predictor of overall survival (p = 0.746). @entity1 age (p = 0.02) and @entity5 size (p = 0.009) and grade (p = 0.001) were independent predictors of overall survival. Height-adjusted TPA was not a predictor of increased hospital LOS (p = 0.66), greater incidence of @entity86 (p = 0.56), or other wound complications (p = 0.14). Conclusions. @entity6288 does not appear to impact overall survival, LOS, or wound complications in @entity1 with STS.
