Patients' flow diagram. Out of 123 patients, 58 (47.1%) with primary localized retrperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) were included in the study and 65 were excluded. 34 (27.6%) were excluded as they presented as primary metastatic cases (6), locally recurrent cases (14) or cases with residual disease after operation elsewhere (14), and 31 patients (25.2%) were excluded as they had CT performed > 30 days from initial assessment or CT image was not technically adequate for analysis

Association between overall morbidity following surgery for primary RPS and body composition (A–F) and linear correlation analysis between VSR and VATI (G) and VSR and fat mass (H). VSR (F) and intraoperative blood loss (E) independently predicted worse postoperative outcome. In multivariate analysis skeletal muscle index (SMA), lean body mass (LBM), subcutaneous adipose tissue area (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue area (VAT) were not associated with statistically higher overall postoperative morbidity (A–D).VATI = Visceral Adipose Tissue Index; VSR = Visceral-to-subcutaneous adipose tissue area ratio. ȓPearson = Pearson Correlation Coefficient; tStudent = result of t-test for correlation
