“The hazard ratios were 0.62 (95% CI 0.40–0.90; p = 0.013) and 0.46 (95% CI 0.26–0.83; p = 0.009), respectively.”

Acute exacerbation

upin humans1

1 study

  1. Low erector spinae muscle index is associated with acute exacerbation in humans (particularly among non-IPF patients).

    “acute exacerbations occurred more frequently in the low ESMI group and low PMI group, particularly among non-IPF patients.”

1 study

  1. Low erector spinae muscle index predicts survival in humans (IPF patients, adjusted for age, sex, % FVC and smoking exposure level) (HR 0.62 (95% CI 0.40–0.90; p = 0.013) in IPF).

    “The hazard ratios were 0.62 (95% CI 0.40–0.90; p = 0.013) and 0.46 (95% CI 0.26–0.83; p = 0.009), respectively.”
