Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to establish reference values for three compartments of the abdominal skeletal muscle area (psoas muscle area, paraspinal muscle area, and total skeletal muscle area) obtained from cross-sectional Computed tomography images in Turkish Children

Detailed Description
The aim in this study is to determine reference values for Turkish children by evaluating the abdominal region skeletal muscle area (psoas muscle, paraspinal muscles and total skeletal muscle in the section) obtained from cross-sectional CT images.
Material Method of the Research The study was planned as a retrospective study. Patients under 18 years of age who are admitted to Istanbul Province Bağcılar Training and Research Hospital with acute abdominal pain or acute trauma between May 5, 2017 and May 5, 2023 and who underwent abdominal computed tomography (CT) imaging on this date of application will be scanned through the hospital information management system. Past diagnoses of these patients will be questioned and those with chronic diseases will be excluded from the study.
CT images of the patients will be retrieved from the PACS database. From the sections taken at the L3-L4, L4-L5 levels, the cross-sectional area of the psoas muscle, paraspinal muscles and the total skeletal muscles in that section will be measured using the hospital's SYNAPS system. The results will be recorded in cm2.
