Sarcopenia Does Not Affect Survival or Outcomes in Soft-Tissue Sarcoma

Table 4

Linear analysis of height-adjusted total psoas area (TPA) and hospital LOS, postoperative infection, and wound complications.

TPA category	Variable		d.f. (degrees of freedom)	value
Height-adjusted TPA	Hospital LOS		4	0.66
	Wound infection	1.16	2	0.56
	Wound complications	3.92	2	0.14
Height-adjusted TPA controlling for gender	Hospital LOS		2	0.34
	Wound infection	1.02	1	0.31
	Wound complications	1.28	1	0.26

Analysis of variance test performed instead of chi-squared analysis due to LOS being a noncategorical variable.
