Clinical utility of the AITIS model for test-free identification of sarcopenia in patients with stage IV–V non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (opens in new tab)

BackgroundIdentifying sarcopenia in resource-limited settings presents a significant challenge. The objective of this study was to validate the clinical usefulness of the Artificial Intelligence to Identify Sarcopenia (AITIS) model, a test-free artificial intelligence model we previously proposed for identifying sarcopenia, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).MethodsThis observational cross-sectional study enrolled 236 patients with stage IV–V CKD. Sarcopenia was diagnosed using the...
