When using continuous variables to describe sarcopenia, a 1-unit increase in these indicators was almost significantly related to reduced 90-day mortality (HR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.95-1.00, p = 0.052, I 2 = 0.0%) and significantly associated with lower 1-year post-transplantation mortality (HR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.85–0.98, p = 0.012, I 2 = 32.7%).
