Acute exacerbation
upin humans1
Erector spinae muscle index is associated with acute exacerbation in humans.
“Additionally, acute exacerbations occurred more frequently in the low ESMI group and low PMI group, particularly among non-IPF patients.”

Erector spinae muscle index predicts mortality in humans (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.40–0.90, p = 0.013).
“In both IPF and non-IPF cohorts, Cox regression analysis revealed that patients with low ESMI had a poorer prognosis compared to those with normal ESMI”

Sarcopenia
downin humans1
Erector spinae muscle index predicts sarcopenia in humans (cutoff 9.41 cm2/m2).
“The optimal cutoff ESM-I for the presence of sarcopenia was 9.41 cm2/m2.”
