Abstract Background: Frailty has been shown to be an independent negative predictor of surgical outcomes in geriatric patients. Traditional measurements of frailty are impractical in emergency settings, and computed tomography (CT)-measured skeletal muscle mass has been proposed as an alternative. However, the cutoff values of these CT metrics for frailty are still unknown, and their impact on abdominal emergencies in the elderly population is unclear.Study Design: A total of 462 young trauma patients aged 18-40 years were analyzed to establish sex-specific reference cutoff values for the CT-measured muscle index (MI) and muscle gauge (MG) values. The impacts of low MI and MG values were investigated in 1192 elderly patients (aged ≥ 65 years) undergoing abdominal surgery.Results: The sex-specific cutoff values for MI and MG were determined by adopting European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) guidelines. The correlation between MG and ageing was significantly stronger than that between MI and ageing. With regard to the MG, the L4 psoas muscle gauge (L4 PMG) was further investigated in an elderly cohort owing to its high predictive value and ease of use in the clinical setting. A low L4 PMG value was an independent risk factor for overall complications and mortality in elderly patients with abdominal emergencies.Conclusion: The current study was the largest study investigating the correlations between MG values and ageing in the Asian population. Frailty, as indicated by a low L4 PMG value, may help surgeons during preoperative decision making regarding geriatric patients with abdominal emergencies.
