Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the prognostic significance of clinical characteristics and CT-derived body composition in pleural mesothelioma.
Retrospective analysis of 73 pleural mesothelioma patients.
CT images assessed for body composition parameters including SATI, VATI, TATI, SMI, and PMI.
Patients categorized into sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic groups based on SMI.
Age ≥60 years (HR 2.45, 95% CI 1.31-4.61, p=0.005) identified as a poor prognostic factor.
Sarcopenic patients had increased mortality risk (HR 0.37, 95% CI 0.18-0.76, p=0.007).
Higher TATI values associated with an increased mortality risk (HR 2.26).
