Abstrakt: This document is a letter to the editor of the Global Spine Journal, written by Aakash Jain, Siddharth Sekhar Sethy, and Pankaj Kandwal. The authors express their interest in the article titled "Psoas Muscle Index as a Predictor of Perioperative Outcomes in Geriatric Patients undergoing Spine Surgery" by Pernik et al. They highlight several important points that require further consideration and discussion, including the statistical method used, the validation of the Psoas Muscle Index (PMI), the reliability of imaging modalities, and the inclusion of a broad range of patients in the study. The authors suggest that addressing these points will enhance the study's findings and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the PMI as a predictor of perioperative outcomes in geriatric patients undergoing spinal surgery.
