ImpactModerate impact

The posts suggest the publication could influence preoperative care practices, with phrases like 'discovered' and 'important link' indicating potential for real-world impact.

Abstract in brief

  • The study found that poor muscle quality, indicated by a higher IMAC value, is an independent risk factor for severe postoperative complications in gastric cancer patients undergoing radical gastrectomy.
  • Patients with higher IMAC were generally older, had higher BMI and visceral fat, and were more likely to have conditions like chronic kidney disease and diabetes, which may contribute to worse outcomes.
  • The research emphasizes the importance of assessing preoperative muscle quality, not just muscle mass, to better predict and potentially reduce severe postoperative complications in gastric cancer surgery.]

Gastric cancer pts preparing for a radical gastrectomy should start/continue strength exercises for as long as possible pre surgery. A strong link has been discovered between poor muscle quality pre surg & severe post surg complications @exs6420 #exs6420 https://t.co/8HiMYiUV0L
