Popis: It is known that sarcopenia affects the overall short- and long-term outcomes of patients with gastric cancer (GC); however, the effect of muscle quality on infectious complications after gastrectomy for GC remains unclear. We investigated the associations between the preoperative quantity and quality of skeletal muscle on infectious complications following gastrectomy for GC. The subjects of this retrospective study were 353 GC patients who underwent radical gastrectomy between 2009 and 2018. We examined the relationships between their clinical factors, including skeletal muscle mass index and intramuscular adipose tissue content (IMAC), and infectious complications after gastrectomy. Infectious complications developed in 59 patients (16.7%). The independent risk factors for infectious complications identified by multivariate analysis were male gender (P
