“…Four studies reported the association between TMT and SAH [ 9 , 21 , 23 , 24 ], two studies between TMT and ICH [ 25 , 26 ], and two studies between TMT and ischemic stroke [ 27 , 28 ]. The other four studies described the standard TMT values [ 18 , 29 ] and the relationship between TMT and nutritional status [ 19 , 20 ].…”

Temporal Muscle and Stroke—A Narrative Review on Current Meaning and Clinical Applications of Temporal Muscle Thickness, Area, and Volume

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Evaluating muscle mass and function among stroke patients is important. However, evaluating muscle volume and function is not easy due to the disturbances of consciousness and paresis. Temporal muscle thickness (TMT) has been introduced as a novel surrogate marker for muscle mass, function, and nutritional status. We herein performed a narrative literature review on temporal muscle and stroke to understand the current meaning of TMT in clinical stroke practice. Methods: The search was performed in PubMed, last updated in October 2021. Reports on temporal muscle morphomics and stroke-related diseases or clinical entities were collected. Results: Four studies reported on TMT and subarachnoid hemorrhage, two studies on intracerebral hemorrhage, two studies on ischemic stroke, two studies on standard TMT values, and two studies on nutritional status. TMT was reported as a prognostic factor for several diseases, a surrogate marker for skeletal muscle mass, and an indicator of nutritional status. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography were used to measure TMT. Conclusions: TMT is gradually being used as a prognostic factor for stroke or a surrogate marker for skeletal muscle mass and nutritional status. The establishment of standard methods to measure TMT and large prospective studies to further investigate the relationship between TMT and diseases are needed.

“…The AUC was 0.726 for men and 0.681 for women, with moderate accuracy, and we consider the cutoff values to be useful for screening for sarcopenia. In this study, TMT was calculated from CT images, but TMT can be measured using ultrasonography and MRI as well [ 21 , 30 ]. Ultrasonography has been used for nutritional status assessment, and the technology has been improved [ 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”

Predictive Value of Temporal Muscle Thickness for Sarcopenia after Acute Stroke in Older Patients

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The assessment of sarcopenia is part of the nutritional assessment index and is essential in stroke management. This study aimed to identify and validate cutoff values of temporal muscle thickness (TMT) measured using computed tomography to identify sarcopenia after acute stroke. The participants were patients with stroke aged ≥65 years who were admitted to rehabilitation units. The recruited patients were randomly divided into the calculation and validation cohort. In the calculation cohort, TMT cutoff values for identifying sarcopenia were calculated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. The obtained values were validated in the validation cohort using sensitivity and specificity. The calculation cohort included 230 patients (125 men, mean age, 77.2 ± 7.2 years), whereas the validation cohort included 235 patients (125 men, mean age, 76.4 ± 6.95 years). The TMT cutoff values for identifying sarcopenia and low skeletal muscle index were the same: 3.83 mm for men and 2.78 mm for women. The TMT cutoff value for identifying sarcopenia showed a sensitivity and specificity of 0.642 and 0.750, respectively, for men, and 0.660 and 0.567, respectively, for women. We identified a valid cutoff value of temporal muscle thickness for identifying sarcopenia after acute stroke. TMT is easy to measure and may be useful for the early detection of sarcopenia.
