Popis: OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess the incremental prognostic value of the psoas muscle area in patients scheduled for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). METHODS A total of 1076 consecutive patients undergoing TAVI at 2 centres between 2010 and 2017 were prospectively included in this study. Computed tomography-derived cross-sectional area of the psoas muscle was measured at the superior border of the third (L3) and fourth (L4) lumbar vertebra and indexed to body surface area (PMAi) as well as stratified into tertiles. Multivariable logistic regression and Cox regression analyses were performed to investigate the value of PMAi as a predictor of 30-day and cumulative mortality. The incremental prognostic value of PMAi over the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) score was assessed using a net reclassification analysis. RESULTS The rate of 30-day mortality was 5.8% (n = 62). PMAi at the level of L3 [odds ratio 0.082, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.011-0.589; P = 0.013] and L4 (odds ratio 0.049, 95% CI 0.005-0.536; P = 0.013) was independently associated with 30-day mortality. During a median follow-up of 435 days (interquartile range 139-904), 292 patients (27.1%) died. PMAi of L3 (hazard ratio 0.200, 95% CI 0.083-0.482; P
