Psoas Muscle Area as a Prognostic Factor for Survival in Patients with an Asymptomatic Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: A Retrospective Cohort Study

We wanted to replicate these findings and assesse the association between psoas muscle area (PMA) and survival in patients with an asymptomatic AAA.
