Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) have a high likelihood of being sarcopenic. Several studies have shown a positive correlation between sarcopenia measured as skeletal muscle index (SMI) and poor surgical outcomes in patients with CD. Our primary aim was to correlate SMI with the psoas muscle index (PMI), an easier measurement of sarcopenia. Secondary aim was to correlate SMI and PMI with clinical outcomes in a cohort of CD patients requiring surgery.
