Summary

This study looks at whether muscle size and quality measured by a CT scan can predict the risk of death within 3 months after leaving the ICU for patients with septic shock. Researchers will enroll 196 adults and analyze their muscle scans taken shortly after ICU admission. The goal is to better understand how muscle health affects recovery, but this study does not test any new treatment.
