Low-Plasma Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Associates With Increased Mortality in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients With Reduced Muscle Strength. J Ren Nutr 2023; 33:298-306. [PMID: 35792256 DOI: 10.1053/j.jrn.2022.06.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2021] [Revised: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 06/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to metabolic and nutritional abnormalities including resistance to insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) action, and reduced muscle mass and strength. Low IGF-1 as well as low hand-grip muscle strength (HGS) are independent predictors of increased mortality in CKD patients. METHODS In 685 patients (CKD Stage 3-5, median age 58 years; 62% men), baseline measurements of IGF-1, HGS, subjective global assessment (SGA), lean body mass index (LBMI), and metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers potentially linked to IGF-1 were analyzed in relation to mortality during 5 years of follow-up. We compared survival in 4 groups with high or low (cut-offs defined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis) levels of IGF-1 and HGS. RESULTS Patients with low IGF-1 were older; had lower BMI, HGS, and LBMI, were more likely to have diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and malnutrition (SGA >1); and had high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels. During 5 years of follow-up, 208 patients died. The mortality rate was highest among patients with Low IGF-1 + Low HGS. In competing-risk regression analysis, Low IGF-1 + Low HGS was independently associated with 2.8 times higher all-cause mortality risk than Low IGF-1 + High HGS, after adjusting for Framingham's CVD risk score, presence of CVD, SGA, dialysis status, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, albumin, LBMI, and sample time in freezer. CONCLUSION Low IGF-1 was associated with increased all-cause mortality in patients who also had low HGS but not in those with high HGS, suggesting that the association of IGF-1 with survival in CKD patients depends on nutritional status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Muscle mass is one of the critical components that ensure muscle function. Loss of muscle mass at every stage of life can cause many adverse effects. Sarcopenia, which can occur in different age groups and is characterized by a decrease in muscle mass, is a critical syndrome that affects the quality of life of individuals. Aging, a universal process, can also cause loss of muscle mass. It is essential to monitor and measure muscle mass, which should be sufficient to maintain optimal health. Having various disadvantages with the ordinary methods used to estimate muscle mass increases the need for the new high technology methods. This study aims to develop a low-cost and trustworthy Body Muscle Percentage calculation model based on artificial intelligence algorithms and biomedical signals. METHODS For the study, 327 photoplethysmography signals of the subject were used. First, the photoplethysmography signals were filtered, and sub-frequency bands were obtained. A quantity of 125 time-domain features, 25 from each signal, have been extracted. Additionally, it has reached 130 features in demographic features added to the model. To enhance the performance, the spearman feature selection algorithm was used. Decision trees, Support Vector Machines, Ensemble Decision Trees, and Hybrid machine learning algorithms (the combination of three methods) were used as machine learning algorithms. RESULTS The recommended Body Muscle Percentage estimation model have the perfomance values for all individuals R=0.95, for males R=0.90 and for females R=0.90 in this study. CONCLUSION Regarding the study results, it is thought that photoplethysmography-based models can be used to predict body muscle percentage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Whether weight loss during hospitalization is associated with improvement in activities of daily living (ADL) in overweight and obese stroke patients remains unclear. This study investigated the association between decreases in body mass index (BMI), fat-free mass (FFM), and fat mass (FM) and ADL improvement. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data of patients admitted to acute care hospitals with stroke. Patients were classified into two groups based on their change in BMI during their hospital stay (i.e. decreased or nondecreased group). To control and adjust for patient characteristics and confounders, we created an inverse probability-weighted (IPW) model using propensity scoring, which was used to compare the Functional Independence Measure Motor (FIM-M) efficacy between the two groups. We also compared FFM and FM between admission and discharge in each group. RESULTS A total of 556 patients were analyzed, among whom 391 (70.3%) had a decrease in BMI and 165 (29.7%) had a nondecrease. After IPW adjustment, efficiency of FIM-M was significantly higher in the nondecreased group as compared to that in the decreased group (median: 0.44 vs. 0.29, P < 0.001). FFM and FM were significantly decreased from admission to discharge in the decreased group, but there was no significanct difference observed in the nondecreased group. Preserving BMI during hospitalization was associated with a positive improvement in ADL in overweight and obese stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation. CONCLUSIONS Risks and benefits of weight loss should be balanced in nutritional care and rehabilitation for overweight and obese stroke patients.

Venous creatinine as a biomarker for loss of fat-free mass and disease progression in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Eur J Neurol 2021; 28:3615-3625. [PMID: 34216521 DOI: 10.1111/ene.15003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2021] [Revised: 06/16/2021] [Accepted: 06/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To establish the utility of venous creatinine as a biomarker to monitor loss of fat-free mass in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). METHODS In this multicenter natural history study, body composition and venous creatinine were assessed in 107 patients with ALS and 52 healthy controls. Longitudinal patterns of venous creatinine and its association with the risk of death during follow-up were determined in a cohort of patients with ALS from Australia (n = 69) and the Netherlands (n = 38). RESULTS The mean levels of venous creatinine were 75.78 ± 11.15 μmol/L for controls, 70.25 ± 12.81 μmol/L for Australian patients, and 59.95 ± 14.62 μmol/L for Dutch patients with ALS. The relationship between measures of venous creatinine and fat-free mass was similar between all groups (r = 0.36, p < 0.001). Within patients, fat-free mass declined by 0.31 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.22-0.40) kg/month, and venous creatinine declined by 0.52 (95% CI: 0.38-0.66) μmol/L/month, with a longitudinal correlation of 0.57 (95% CI: 0.35-0.76, p < 0.001). Lower levels of venous creatinine were associated with increased risk for earlier death in patients with ALS (hazard ratio = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.90-0.98, p = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS Venous creatinine is decreased in ALS and declines alongside a decline in fat-free mass over the course of the disease, and may serve as a practical marker to monitor the change of fat-free mass in patients with ALS. This could inform clinical care and provide an alternative endpoint for the evaluation of therapeutic interventions that focus on slowing the loss of fat-free mass and disease progression in ALS.

Diagnostic usefulness of the spot urine sodium/potassium ratio in cirrhotic patients with ascites. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0253886. [PMID: 34166456 PMCID: PMC8224901 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0253886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2021] [Accepted: 06/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The low-salt diet is considered important for control of ascites in cirrhotic patients. To validate whether the spot urine sodium (Na)/potassium (K) ratio could replace 24-h urine Na (uNa) excretion in assessing low-salt diet compliance. METHODS We prospectively studied 175 patients. 24-h urine collection and spot urine collection were performed. Subsequently, 24-h uNa, urine creatinine (uCr), and spot urine Na and K were assessed. A complete urine collection was confirmed based on 24-h uCr excretion levels of 15mg/kg/day for men and 10mg/kg/day for women. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the feasibility of spot urine Na/K ratio in predicting 24-h uNa greater than 78mmol/day. RESULTS Out of 175 patients, 24-h urine samples were completely collected in 57 patients only. Moreover, urine samples were not completely collected in 118 patients because their 24-h uCr excretion level was less than the established criteria. In complete urine collection group, AUROC curve for spot urine Na/K ratio in predicting 24-h uNa greater than 78mmol/day was 0.874±0.051 (P<0.001). In the incomplete urine collection group, the AUROC was 0.832±0.039 (P<0.001). In complete urine collection group, the classical cutoff value greater than 1.0 of spot urine Na/K ratio showed 90.9% sensitivity and 56.0% specificity. CONCLUSIONS The spot urine Na/K ratio reflects 24-h uNa, but the AUROC value obtained in this study is lower than that of a previous study. Considered the large number of patients with incomplete urine collection, validating 24-h complete urine collection criteria is necessary.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the association between SARC-F scores and the in-hospital mortality risk among older patients admitted to acute care hospitals. DESIGN Single-center retrospective study. SETTING A university hospital. PARTICIPANTS All consecutive patients aged older than 65 were admitted and discharged from the study hospital between July 2019 and September 2019. MEASUREMENTS Relevant patient data included age, sex, body mass index, nutritional status, fat-free mass, disease, activities of daily living (ADL), duration of hospital stay, SARC-F, and occurrence of death within 30 days of hospitalization. The diseases that caused hospitalization and comorbidities (Charlson Comorbidity Index; CCI) were obtained from medical records. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-performance status (PS) was used to determine ADL, and the in-hospital mortality rate within 30 days of hospitalization as the outcome. RESULTS We analyzed 2,424 patients. The mean age was 75.9±6.9 and 55.5% were male. Fifty-three in-hospital mortalities occurred among the participants within the first 30 days of hospitalization. Patients who died in-hospital were older, had poorer nutritional status and severer PS scores, and more comorbidities than those who did not. A SARC-F score of ≥4 predicted a higher mortality risk within those 30 days with the following precision: sensitivity 0.792 and specificity 0.805. There were significantly more deaths in Kaplan-Meier curves regarding a score of SARC-F≥4 than a score of SARC-F<4 (p<0.001). Cox proportional hazard analysis was used to identify the clinical indicators most associated with in-hospital mortality. SARC-F≥4 (Hazard Ratio: HR 5.65, p<0.001), CCI scores (HR1.11, p=0.004), and infectious and parasitic diseases (HR3.13, p=0.031) were associated with in-hospital mortality. The SARC-F items with significant in-hospital mortality effects were assistance with walking (HR 2.55, p<0.001) and climbing stairs (HR 2.46, p=0.002). CONCLUSION The SARC-F questionnaire is a useful prognostic indicator for older adults because a SARC-F ≥4 score during admission to an acute care hospital predicts in-hospital mortality within 30 days of hospitalization.

Abstract
AIM The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) can predict nutritional risk. However, just a few studies have validated the optimal cut-off value of GNRI for nutrition screening in older patients. Hence, this study aimed to determine the optimal value of GNRI to screen the risk of malnutrition among older patients. METHODS This retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out with 5867 consecutive older adult patients who were admitted to an academic hospital in Japan. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were carried out to obtain the optimal cut-off value of GNRI, and the results were compared against the Mini Nutritional Assessment - Short Form and Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool. The validation of the obtained cut-off value was examined on the concordance rate of malnutrition diagnosis based on the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism criteria. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 76.0 ± 7.0 years. The optimal cut-off value of GNRI for Mini Nutritional Assessment - Short Form ≤11 points was 95.92 (area under the curve 0.827 [0.817-0.838], P < 0.001), and that for Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool ≥1 point was 95.95 (area under the curve 0.788 [0.776-0.799], P < 0.001). By adapting GNRI <96 points as an initial screening cut-off in the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism-defined malnutrition process, the concordance rates of comparisons were 98.5% and 98.5% for Mini Nutritional Assessment - Short Form-based and MUST-based diagnosis, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The study showed GNRI <96 points as the optimal cut-off value for nutritional screening. GNRI might be one of the easy-to-use tools for nutritional screening and for diagnosing malnutrition in older adults. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2020; 20: 811-816.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, diagnostic criteria for malnutrition have been proposed by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN). This study aimed to investigate the utility of the ESPEN malnutrition criteria as a predictor for major complications following hepatectomy and pancreatectomy. METHODS Data were reviewed from 176 consecutive patients who underwent hepatectomy (n = 103) or pancreatectomy (n = 73) between November 2017 and December 2019. Patients were divided into two groups according to the ESPEN malnutrition criteria using a prospectively collected database. The clinical data and the surgical outcomes of patients in the malnourished and normal groups were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Thirty-five (20%) patients were diagnosed with malnourishment according to ESPEN criteria. The malnourished group had a significantly low preoperative albumin concentration (p = 0.001). After hepatectomy, major complications (Clavien grade ≥ 3a) occurred significantly more frequently in the malnourished group than in the normal group (p = 0.013). Multivariate analysis indicated that operative duration ≥ 300 min (hazard ratio: 22.47, 95% CI: 2.17 to 232.73, p = 0.009) and malnourishment (hazard ratio: 14.56, 95% CI: 2.58 to 82.17, p = 0.002) were independently associated with major complications after hepatectomy. On the other hand, malnutrition was not associated with major complications after pancreatectomy. CONCLUSIONS The ESPEN malnutrition criteria are a valuable predictor for major complications following hepatectomy.

[PMID: 32093144 PMCID: PMC7071417 DOI: 10.3390/nu12020541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2020] [Revised: 02/13/2020] [Accepted: 02/17/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Malnutrition leads to poor prognoses, including a predisposition to falls. Few studies have investigated the relationship between malnutrition and falls during hospitalization. This study aimed to determine malnutrition’s association with falls during hospitalization. A retrospective observational study was conducted. Patients aged ≥65 years that were admitted to and discharged from a university hospital between April 2018 and March 2019 were examined. Patients with independent basic activities of daily living were included. Diagnosis of malnutrition was based on the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) criteria at admission. Disease information such as the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and reasons for hospitalization were reviewed. Kaplan–Meier curve and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed. Data from 6081 patients (mean age: 74.4 ± 6.1 years; males: 58.1%) were analyzed. The mean CCI was 2.3 ± 2.8 points. Malnutrition was detected in 668 (11.0%) and falls occurred in 55 (0.9%) patients. Malnourished patients experienced a higher fall rate than those without malnutrition (2.4% vs. 0.7%, log-rank test p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, malnutrition had the highest hazard ratio for falls among covariates (hazard ratio 2.78, 95% confidence interval 1.51–5.00, p = 0.001). In conclusion, malnutrition at the time of admission to hospital predicts in-hospital falls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition may worsen clinical outcomes in stroke patients. Few malnutrition screening tools have been validated in the rehabilitation setting. The present study aimed to assess the concurrent and predictive validity of two malnutrition screening tools. METHODS We retrospectively collected scores for the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF) and the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in consecutive stroke patients aged ≥65 years in a rehabilitation hospital. Concurrent validity was confirmed against the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism diagnostic criteria for malnutrition (ESPEN-DCM). Malnutrition risk within the ESPEN-DCM process was assessed using the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool. Cut-off values with maximum Youden index, and with sensitivity (Se) >90% and specificity (Sp) >50%, were defined as appropriate for identification and screening of malnutrition, respectively. The Functional Independence Measure and discharge destination were used to explore predictive validity. RESULTS Overall, 420 patients were analysed. Of these, we included 125 patients in the malnutrition group and 295 in the non-malnutrition group based on the ESPEN-DCM. Cut-off values for the identification and screening of malnutrition were 5 (Se: 0.78; Sp: 0.85) and 7 (Se: 0.96; Sp: 0.57) for the MNA-SF; 92 (Se: 0.74; Sp: 0.84) and 98 (Se: 0.93; Sp: 0.50) for the GNRI, respectively. The GNRI predicted discharge to acute care hospital, whereas the MNA-SF did not predict all outcome measures. CONCLUSIONS The MNA-SF and the GNRI have a fair concurrent validity in stroke patients, although lower cut-off values than currently used were required for the MNA-SF. The GNRI exhibits good predictive validity for discharge destination.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Due to the water-rich cooking process required to soften texture modified diets (TMDs), TMDs may have poorer nutrition. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between daily premorbid TMD consumption and nutritional status at the time of hospitalization, and its burden on hospitalization outcomes. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING An academic hospital. PARTICIPANTS The cohort comprised 3,594 older adult patients aged ≥65 years admitted to the hospital. MEASUREMENTS Patients were interviewed on admission using a premorbid daily consumption meal form to determine whether the patient ate a TMD. Nutritional status was examined using nutritional screening tools (Mini-Nutritional Assessment Short Form [MNA-SF], Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool [MUST], Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index [GNRI]) and the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN)-defined criteria of malnutrition at admission. Length of hospital stay (LOS) and in-hospital mortality were considered outcomes of hospitalization. Multivariate analyses were performed to detect associations between premorbid TMD consumption and nutritional status and outcomes. RESULTS The mean age of the subjects was 75.9±7.0 years, including 58% males. Overall, 110 (3.1%) patients consuming a premorbid TMD were identified. They were older (p<0.001), had poor nutritional status (lower MNA-SF score [p<0.001] and GNRI value [p<0.001], higher MUST score [p<0.001], and more prevalent ESPEN-defined malnutrition [61.8% vs. 14.0%, p<0.001] than did patients without a TMD. The mortality rate and LOS of patients with TMD was higher (7.3% vs. 2.9%, p=0.017) and longer (19 days vs. 8 days, p<0.001) than those without TMD. Multivariate analyses showed that TMD consumption was independently associated with poor nutritional status and prolonged LOS after adjusting confounders. CONCLUSION Daily consumption of a TMD during the premorbid period affects nutritional status at the time of hospitalization and outcomes. Further studies are necessary to investigate whether nutritional intervention can improve outcomes for people on a TMD.

Abstract
Considerable evidence suggests that the steroid hormone testosterone mediates major life-history trade-offs in vertebrates, promoting mating effort at the expense of parenting effort or survival. Observations from a range of wild primates support the "Challenge Hypothesis," which posits that variation in male testosterone is more closely associated with aggressive mating competition than with reproductive physiology. In both seasonally and non-seasonally breeding species, males increase testosterone production primarily when competing for fecund females. In species where males compete to maintain long-term access to females, testosterone increases when males are threatened with losing access to females, rather than during mating periods. And when male status is linked to mating success, and dependent on aggression, high-ranking males normally maintain higher testosterone levels than subordinates, particularly when dominance hierarchies are unstable. Trade-offs between parenting effort and mating effort appear to be weak in most primates, because direct investment in the form of infant transport and provisioning is rare. Instead, infant protection is the primary form of paternal investment in the order. Testosterone does not inhibit this form of investment, which relies on male aggression. Testosterone has a wide range of effects in primates that plausibly function to support male competitive behavior. These include psychological effects related to dominance striving, analgesic effects, and effects on the development and maintenance of the armaments and adornments that males employ in mating competition.
