  1. SMI skeletal mass index; ALM/h2 relative appendicular lean mass
  2. Person-years is a form of person-time measurement, it is summation of the actual time-at-risk that all participants contributed to the study. It is the sum of the time the participants spent in the study during the follow-up period (prior to ICU admission, death, or end of study period)
