Arch Gerontol Geriatr 2024; 127:105577. [PMID: 39032316 DOI: 10.1016/j.archger.2024.105577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 06/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective was to determine the relationship between sarcopenia and urinary dysfunction in patients with dysphagia. MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on 460 Japanese Sarcopenic Dysphagia Database participants. Urinary dysfunction was defined as either urinary incontinence or urethral catheter use. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 criteria. Univariate and multivariate analyses assessed the association between urinary dysfunction and sarcopenia, calf circumference (CC), handgrip strength (HGS), and Barthel Index (BI). Logistic regression analysis was performed for urinary dysfunction adjusted for age, sex, setting, and CCI in addition to BI and HGS or CC or sarcopenia (model 1) or FILS and BI (model 2). RESULTS The mean age was 80.8 ± 10.5 years and urinary dysfunction in 137 participants. Urinary dysfunction was not associated with sarcopenia (123 versus 281, p = 0.440) but was associated with CC (27.4 ± 4.2 versus 28.5 ± 3.9, p = 0.009), HGS (9.7 ± 7.9 versus 14.4 ± 9.3, p < 0.001), and BI (19.9 ± 0.3 versus 20.3 ± 0.2, p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed urinary dysfunction was associated with HGS (OR: 0.968, CI: 0.938, 0.998) and BI (OR: 0.955, CI: 0.943, 0.966). The cutoff was 19 kg for men (sensitivity 0.786, specificity 0.56, Area Under Curve (AUC) 0.689) and 6.1 kg for women (sensitivity 0.493, specificity 0.774, AUC 0.639) in HGS and 27.5 points in BI (sensitivity 0.781, specificity 0.604, AUC 0.740). CONCLUSION Sarcopenia was not associated with urinary dysfunction. However, HGS and BI were related to urinary dysfunction.

J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00621-1. [PMID: 38901711 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.06.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is a progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. It is associated with adverse outcomes after several orthopaedic procedures. However, its role in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is not fully explored. Therefore, we wanted to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to answer the following questions: (1) What is the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients undergoing TJA?; (2) What factors are associated with the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients undergoing TJA?; What is the impact of sarcopenia on medical outcomes following TJA?; and (4) What is the impact of sarcopenia on surgical outcomes following TJA? METHODS Electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, and Google Scholar were searched. The data were pooled using the random-effects model and graphically represented by a forest plot. We included a total of 13 studies, evaluating 399,097 patients. RESULTS The pooled prevalence of sarcopenia was 20.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] 13.6 to 28.8%; P < .00001; I2 = 94.7%) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and 5.2% (95% CI 0.1 to 69.7%; P = .128; I2 = 99.6%) in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Meta-regression found no links between age, sex, body mass index, diabetes, obesity, arthroplasty type, and sarcopenia prevalence in TJA. Sarcopenia increased risk of blood transfusion (odds ratio [OR] 4.68 [95% CI 3.51 to 6.25]; P < .00001), pneumonia (OR 1.94 [95% CI 1.14 to 3.30]; P = .01), urinary tract infection (UTI) (OR 1.64 [95% CI 1.31 to 2.05]; P < .001), prosthetic fracture (OR 2.12 [95% CI 1.51 to 2.98]; P < .0001), prosthetic dislocation (OR 1.99 [95% CI 1.62 to 2.44]; P < .00001), and mechanical loosening (OR 1.78 [95% CI 1.43 to 2.22]; P < .00001) in TKA. Sarcopenic patients were at an increased risk of UTI (OR 1.79 [95% CI 1.32 to 2.43]; P = .0002) and prosthetic loosening (OR 1.97 [95% CI 1.10 to 3.53]; P = .02) post-THA. CONCLUSIONS Baseline sarcopenia was prevalent in patients undergoing TJA. It was associated with an increased risk of UTI and prosthetic loosening following TKA and THA. Increased risk of blood transfusion, pneumonia, prosthetic fractures, and mechanical loosening following TKA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Frailty poses a crucial risk for postoperative complications in the elderly, with sarcopenia being a key component. The impact of sarcopenia on postoperative outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is still unclear. This study investigated the potential link between sarcopenia and postoperative outcomes among elderly THA patients. METHODS Totally 198 older patients were enrolled in this study. Sarcopenia in this group was determined by assessing the skeletal muscle index, which was measured using computed tomography at the 12th thoracic vertebra and analyzed semi-automatically with MATLAB R2020a. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to evaluate postoperative complications of grade II and above (POCIIs). RESULTS The variables balanced using PSM contained age, sex and comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and COPD. Before PSM, sarcopenic patients with reduced BMI (24.02 ± 0.24 vs. 27.11 ± 0.66, P < 0.001) showed higher POCIIs rates (48.31% vs. 15%, P = 0.009) and more walking-assisted discharge instances (85.96% vs. 60%, P = 0.017) compared with non-sarcopenia patients. After PSM, this group maintained reduced BMI (23.47 ± 0.85 vs. 27.11 ± 0.66, P = 0.002), with increased POCIIs rates (54.41% vs. 15%, P = 0.002) and heightened reliance on walking assistance at discharge (86.96% vs. 60%, P = 0.008). CONCLUSION Sarcopenia patients exhibited a higher incidence of POCIIs and poorer physical function at discharge. Sarcopenia could serve as a valuable prognostic indicator for elderly patients undergoing elective THA.

Abstract
Underactive bladder (UAB) is a prevalent but under-researched lower urinary tract symptom that typically occurs alongside detrusor underactivity (DU). Unlike UAB, DU is a urodynamic diagnosis which the International Continence Society (ICS) defines as "a contraction of reduced strength and/or duration, resulting in prolonged bladder emptying and/or a failure to achieve complete bladder emptying within a normal time span". Despite the widespread prevalence of UAB/DU, there are significant gaps in our understanding of its pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment compared with overactive bladder (OAB) and detrusor overactivity (DO). These gaps are such that clinicians regard UAB/DU as an incurable condition. In recent years, the understanding of UAB has increased. The definition of UAB has been clarified, and the diagnostic criteria for DU have been considered more comprehensively. Meanwhile, a number of non-invasive diagnostic methods have also been reported. Clinical trials involving novel drugs, electrical stimulation, and stem cell therapy have shown promising results. Therefore, this review summarizes recent reports on UAB and DU and highlights the latest advances in their diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Purpose In this study, we investigated skeletal muscle loss and bladder dysfunction caused by high-fat/high-sucrose (HFS) diet. Methods Twelve-week-old Sprague-Dawley (SD) female rats were fed on normal (Group N) or HFS (Group HFS) diet for 12 weeks. We conducted urodynamic investigation and pharmacologic in vitro. In addition, we measured gastrocnemius and tibialis muscle weight and protein concentration. The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in the bladder were assayed. Results The urodynamic investigations revealed the significantly shorter intercontraction intervals and lower maximal voiding pressure in Group HFS than in Group N. Furthermore, the absolute and relative weights of the gastrocnemius muscle were found to be significantly lower in Group HFS than in Group N. The protein concentration of the gastrocnemius muscle was also significantly lower in Group HFS than in Group N. The absolute and relative weights of the bladder were also significantly lower in Group HFS than in Group N. The contractile responses of the bladder strips to electrical field stimulation and carbachol were significantly lower in Group HFS than in Group N. The HIF1α and 8OHdG in the bladder muscle were significantly higher in Group HFS than in Group N. The HFS diet reduced bladder capacity and contractility along with the loss of the gastrocnemius muscle. Conclusion HFS diet promotes bladder dysfunction similar to detrusor hyperreflexia with impaired contractility.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a state of catabolic muscle wasting prevalent in geriatric patients. Likewise, osteoarthritis is an age-related musculoskeletal disease affecting patients with similar demographics. Late-stage hip osteoarthritis is often treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA). As sarcopenia influences the surgical outcomes, this study aimed to assess the impact of sarcopenia on the outcomes of THA. A 1:3 matched case-control study of sarcopenic to control patients was performed using a large national database. In total, 3992 patients were analyzed. Sarcopenic patients undergoing THA were more likely to experience dislocation (odds ratio (OR) = 2.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.21-3.91) within 1 year of THA. Furthermore, sarcopenic patients had higher urinary tract infection rates (OR = 1.79, CI 1.32-2.42) and a greater risk of 90-day hospital readmission (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.39, CI 1.10-1.77). Sarcopenic patients experienced more falls (OR = 1.62, CI 1.10-2.39) and fragility fractures (OR = 1.77, CI 1.34-2.31). Similarly, sarcopenic patients had higher day of surgery costs (USD 13,534 vs. USD 10,504) and 90-day costs (USD 17,139 vs. USD 13,394) compared with the controls. Ultimately, sarcopenic patients undergoing THA experience higher rates of postoperative complications and incur greater medical costs. Given the potential risks, orthopedic surgeons may consider treating or reducing the severity of sarcopenia before surgery.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) may increase urinary tract infection (UTI) in older adults. However, this issue remains unclear. We identified 8599 older patients (≥65 years) with OA, and an equal number of older patients without OA, matched by age, sex, and index date from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database between 2001 and 2005. Past histories, including UTI and underlying comorbidities, were included in the analyses. Comparisons for any UTI, ≥1 hospitalization for UTI, and ≥3 hospitalizations for UTI between the 2 cohorts by following up until 2015 were performed. In both cohorts, the percentages of age subgroups were 65-74 years (65.7%), 75-84 years (30.1%), and ≥85 years (4.2%). The male sex was 42.4%. Patients with OA had an increased risk of any UTI compared with those without OA after adjusting for all past histories (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR]: 1.72; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.64-1.80). Compared with patients without OA, patients with OA also had an increased risk of ≥1 hospitalization for UTI and ≥3 hospitalizations for UTI (AHR: 1.13; 95% CI: 1.06-1.19 and AHR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.13-1.38, respectively). In addition to OA, age 75-84 years, female sex, history of UTI, benign prostatic hyperplasia, indwelling urinary catheter, cerebrovascular disease, dementia, and urolithiasis were independent predictors for any UTI. This study showed that OA was associated with UTI in older adults. We suggest appropriately managing OA and controlling underlying comorbidities to prevent subsequent UTI.

Significance of a decrease in the proportion of detrusor muscle to bladder wall for non-invasive diagnosis of detrusor underactivity in men with lower urinary tract symptoms. Sci Rep 2022; 12:5237. [PMID: 35347204 PMCID: PMC8960773 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-09302-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
To investigate the significance of detrusor muscle thickness (DMT) to bladder wall thickness (BWT) ratio as a detrusor-sarcopenia and a consistently applicable factor for noninvasive diagnosis of detrusor underactivity (DU). We prospectively performed a urodynamic study of 100 male with medical refractory lower-urinary-tract-symptoms during 2017–2019. The DMT, BWT and DMT/BWT ratio were measured by ultrasonography every 50 mL during bladder filling, and were analyzed for non-invasive diagnosis of DU and prediction of prostate surgery outcome with questionnaire and the maximum-flow-rate. Of the 94 patients, DU was urodynamically diagnosed in 24 (25.5%). The DMT/BWT ratio was maintained in all patients until the 50% of the maximum cystometric capacity (MCC), and then rapidly decreased. At 20% of the MCC, the DMT/BWT ratio was significantly lower in the DU group (44.0 ± 4.9% vs. 49.4 ± 6.7%, p = 0.008). The DMT/BWT ratio of less than 47.5% at 20% of the MCC showed the ideal accuracy for diagnosing DU (AUC = 0.763), and was a predictor of failure at 12 months after prostate surgery (OR 8.78, p = 0.024). A DMT/BWT ratio of less than 47.5% at 20% of the MCC is a consistently applicable factor for non-invasive diagnosis of DU and could also be considered detrusor-sarcopenia.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to elucidate the relationship of psoas muscle atrophy and visceral obesity with lower urinary tract symptoms in geriatric female patients. Patients and Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of female patients aged ≥65 years. The psoas muscle index was defined, using computed tomography, as the cross-sectional area of the psoas muscle at the third lumbar vertebral level divided by the body surface area. We also measured visceral fat area at the umbilical level using computed tomography. We used logistic regression analysis to examine the relationships between the International Prostate Symptom Score (total score, voiding subscore, and storage subscore) and variables, such as age, body mass index, psoas muscle index, and visceral fat area. The International Prostate Symptom Score was categorized as mild, moderate, or severe. Results One hundred thirty-nine patients were included in our study. In the logistic regression analysis, we found statistically significant relationships between severe (versus mild-to-moderate) International Prostate Symptom Score storage subscore and variables, including low and high levels of psoas muscle index and visceral fat area, respectively. We could not find any significant relationships between the International Prostate Symptom Score total score and voiding subscore and the variables. Conclusion Psoas muscle atrophy and visceral fat accumulation are potential risk factors for severe storage symptoms in female patients aged ≥65 years.
