Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrom (SARS-Cov 2)
Conditions
Brief summary
Sarcopenia is a risk factor for adverse outcome in critically ill patients. Sarcopenia might be estimated from muscle surface measure on tomodensitometry. The purpose of the study is to identify if muscle surfaces measured on thoracic tomodensitometry are associated with mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to SARS-Cov-2.
Interventions
Demographic data: Age, Sex, weight, height, main history and treatments. \- Biological data: CRP, PCT, albumin, pre-albumin
muscle area calculated on the T7 and T12 thoracic slices
