Body Composition of Infants With Biliary Atresia: Anthropometric Measurements and Computed Tomography-based Body Metrics

Poor correlation between CT-based body metrics and MUAC suggests that CT-based body metrics provide additional information on body composition in BA infants, such as relative muscle mass.
