The aim of this study is to clarify the sex-specific impact of body composition and handgrip strength on prognosis in patients with liver cirrhosis. Specifically, visceral adipose tissue, subcutaneous adipose tissue, handgrip strength, and skeletal muscle mass will be analyzed as continuous variables, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis will be used to characterize nonlinear associations with prognosis in each sex.

Sex-specific prognostic risk assessment
Overall Survival
Liver-related death and non-liver-related death

Male and Female
Patients with liver cirrhosis who had available data on body composition assessed at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) level using abdominal CT and handgrip strength, and who had at least 1 year of follow-up after the body composition assessment.
Patients with malignant tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma, at the time of body composition assessment (baseline).
Patients with renal failure or poorly controlled cardiac or respiratory disease at the time of body composition assessment (baseline).
Patients with missing data required for the analysis.

This is a multicenter retrospective observational study. Patients with liver cirrhosis who visited the participating institutions between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2025, will be included. The associations between prognosis and body composition assessed at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) level on abdominal CT (skeletal muscle mass, subcutaneous adipose tissue, and visceral adipose tissue) as well as handgrip strength will be analyzed. No intervention will be performed, and the study will use existing clinical data only.
