Among all participants, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) produced an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.82 for Ishii score (sensitivity 85.94%, specificity 78.15%), 0.53 for SARC-F (sensitivity 6.25%, specificity 99.34%), 0.64 for SARC-CalF (sensitivity 45.31%, specificity 83.11%), and 0.55 for MSRA-7 (sensitivity 87.50%, specificity 22.85%). Based on AUC, decision curve analysis, and calibration curves, we concluded that Ishii score was the most accurate screening tool and was superior to the other tools.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>Ishii score is more suitable for screening sarcopenia in patients with chronic liver disease than the SARC-F, SARC-CalF, and MSRA-7, based on the AWGS 2019 criteria. Nursing professionals can use Ishii score as a clinical tool to screen for sarcopenia in patients with chronic liver disease, providing an indication cue for the final diagnosis of sarcopenia, improving diagnostic efficiency, and enabling early identification and prevention of complications resulting from sarcopenia.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37848,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nursing Sciences","volume":"11 1","pages":"Pages 3-10"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352013223001564/pdfft?md5=e46b15fa21b837e7fc2856e18846992b&pid=1-s2.0-S2352013223001564-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139190673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
