Sarcopenia, myosteatosis and inflammation are independent prognostic factors of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia patients admitted to the ICU by Romain Chauvot de Beauchene, Bertrand Souweine, Benjamin Bonnet, Bertrand Evrard, Yves Boirie, Lucie Cassagnes, Claire Dupuis

“…In addition, we found correlation factors of 0.79 (p < 0.01) between SMD at T4 and L3 levels, and a correlation factor of 0.64 (p < 0.01) between CSA at T4 and L3 levels.These results indicate a poorer prognosis following a decrease in muscle surface area, a decrease in density, and an increase in inflammatory biomarkers such as Il6. It also suggests that incorporating indices of sarcopenia with inflammatory biomarkers may improve prognostic accuracy.…”
