Patients demonstrated preserved physical performance with optimal mobility and low pain, indicating effective pre-transplant physical assessment.
Among the cohort, 31.8% exhibited severe fatigue while remaining weight and body-mass index levels were within normal limits.
Each patient's sarcopenia assessment indicated normal values, particularly for the rectus femoris muscle dimensions during ultrasound evaluation.
This analysis underscores the importance of ongoing longitudinal evaluation of physical function in relation to transplant outcomes.
