| Core Tip |
In patients with cirrhosis and ascites, the body mass index (BMI) may be overestimated because of fluid retention. This study showed that computed tomography-based body weight correction reduced BMI estimates and identified additional patients with a low BMI and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition-defined malnutrition. These findings suggest that computed tomography-based correction may serve as a supplementary approach to nutritional assessment in patients with substantial fluid retention. |
