Abstract
Screening for malnutrition is of vital importance for solid organ transplant candidates to optimize nutrition status before transplant, to improve clinical outcomes and to inform selection committees of nutritional contraindications and risks. There are multiple criteria and screening tools available for determining malnutrition diagnosis and risk. Registered Dietitian Nutritionists use these tools for nutrition assessments to quantify the severity of malnutrition, provide patient-centered interventions, and monitor progression. Many transplant centers in the United States utilize the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' Adult Malnutrition Criteria, though there is limited research using these criteria specifically in the transplant population. Malnutrition, utilizing other diagnostic and screening tools, has been associated with important complications, including longer length of hospital stay, increased mortality, decreased quality of life, worsened end-stage organ progression, and decreased functional status. Malnutrition typically results from sarcopenia and cachexia, and can ultimately lead to frailty, causing further negative impacts on transplant outcomes. This literature review summarizes the current research on malnutrition in solid organ transplant candidates and provides recommendations for future research and current practice implications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a scientific consensus on nutrition in cystic fibrosis. METHODS Sixteen coordinators elaborated relevant questions on nutritional therapy in cystic fibrosis, which were divided into six sections: nutritional assessment, nutritional recommendations, nutritional intervention, dietary counseling, special situations and enzyme replacement, and gastrointestinal manifestations. Two to three specialists in the field were responsible for each section and obtaining answers formulated based on standardized bibliographic searches. The available literature was searched in the PubMed®/MEDLINE database, after training and standardization of search strategies, to write the best level of evidence for the questions elaborated. Issues related to disagreement were discussed until a consensus was reached among specialists, based on the current scientific literature. RESULTS Forty-two questions were prepared and objectively answered, resulting in a consensus of nutritional therapy in cystic fibrosis. CONCLUSION This work enabled establishing a scientific consensus for nutritional treatment of cystic fibrosis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Literature focusing on nutritional variables and survival in interstitial lung disease (ILD) is limited by its focus on weight and BMI and has not considered body composition. OBJECTIVES The primary objective of this study was to examine whether body composition measures, specifically fat-free mass index z-score (z-FFMI) and body fat mass index z-score (z-BFMI), were predictors of survival in fibrotic ILD patients. The second objective was to examine if nutrition status was a predictor of survival. METHOD Seventy-eight outpatients diagnosed with fibrotic ILD were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Body composition data using dual frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BodyStat 1500MD; UK) and nutrition status using the subjective global assessment (SGA) were determined. To control for age and sex, z-FFMI and z-BFMI were calculated using population means. Participant charts were reviewed for diagnosis, age, disease severity, and exercise capacity. RESULTS Age (HR 1.08, 95% CI [1.03-1.13], p < 0.01), BMI (HR 0.90, 95% CI [0.84-0.97], p < 0.01]), z-FFMI (HR 0.70, 95% CI [0.56-0.87], p = 0.02), z-BFMI (HR 0.74, 95% CI [0.57-0.96], p < 0.01), 6-min walk distance (6MWD) (HR 0.99, 95% CI [0.99-1.00], p < 0.01), percent predicted diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (%DLco) (HR 0.93, 95% CI [0.89-0.97], p < 0.01), and severe malnutrition (SGA-C) (HR 6.98, 95% CI [2.00-24.27], p < 0.01) were significant predictors of survival. When controlled for exercise capacity and disease severity, z-FFMI and severe malnutrition were significant predictors of survival independent of %DLco. CONCLUSION z-FFMI and severe malnutrition were significant predictors of survival in fibrotic ILD patients independent of disease severity.

Optimizing Nutrition Assessment to Create Better Outcomes in Lung Transplant Recipients: A Review of Current Practices. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11122884. [PMID: 31783495 PMCID: PMC6950219 DOI: 10.3390/nu11122884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2019] [Revised: 11/20/2019] [Accepted: 11/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Lung transplantation offers patients with end-stage lung disease an opportunity for a better quality of life, but with limited organ availability it is paramount that selected patients have the best opportunity for successful outcomes. Nutrition plays a central role in post-surgical outcomes and, historically, body mass index (BMI) has been used as the de facto method of assessing a lung transplant candidate’s nutritional status. Here, we review the historical origins of BMI in lung transplantation, summarize the current BMI literature, and review studies of alternative/complementary body composition assessment tools, including lean psoas area, creatinine-height index, leptin, and dual x-ray absorptiometry. These body composition measures quantify lean body mass versus fat mass and may provide a more comprehensive analysis of a patient’s nutritional state than BMI alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) classifies malnutrition severity via a simple bedside assessment. Phase angle (PhA) is an indicator of cell integrity and has been suggested to be indicator of nutritional status. OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between PhA and SGA. METHODS Relevant studies published through October 31, 2017 were identified using 7 electronic databases. Articles were included for review if they included comparison data between SGA and PhA within adult disease populations. Evidence quality was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) guidelines and methodological quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) tool. RESULTS 33 articles within four disease states (liver, hospitalization, oncology and renal) met inclusion criteria for review. Results were limited by restricting the database search to articles published in English only, and by the inherent difficulty of comparing 2 methods which are both influenced by the operator. CONCLUSION Based on GRADE guidelines, evidence quality received a grade of Low. Based on QUADAS-2, 61% of studies had high risk of bias in the index test (PhA), while all other domains had low risk. It is not possible to conclude that PhA is an accurate independent indicator of malnutrition. PROSPERO no. CRD42016050876.

Abstract
An optimal nutritional status is associated with better post-transplant outcomes and survival. Post-lung transplant nutrition management is however particularly challenging as lung recipients represent a very heterogeneous group of patients in terms of age, underlying diseases, weight status and presence of comorbidities. Furthermore, the post-transplant period encompasses several stages characterized by physiological and pathophysiological changes that affect nutritional status of patients and necessitate tailored nutrition management. We provide an overview of the current state of knowledge regarding nutritional requirements in the post-lung transplant period from the immediate post-operative phase to long-term follow-up. In the immediate post-transplantation phase, the high doses of immunosuppressants and corticosteroids, the goal of maintaining hemodynamic stability, the presence of a catabolic state, and the wound healing process increase nutritional demands and lead to metabolic perturbations that necessitate nutritional interventions. As time from transplantation increases, complications such as obesity, osteoporosis, cancer, diabetes, and kidney disease, may develop and require adjustments to nutrition management. Until specific nutritional guidelines for lung recipients are elaborated, recommendations regarding nutrient requirements are formulated to provide guidance for clinicians caring for these patients. Finally, the management of recipients with special considerations is also briefly addressed.

Abstract
There are no European recommendations on issues specifically related to lung transplantation (LTX) in cystic fibrosis (CF). The main goal of this paper is to provide CF care team members with clinically relevant CF-specific information on all aspects of LTX, highlighting areas of consensus and controversy throughout Europe. Bilateral lung transplantation has been shown to be an important therapeutic option for end-stage CF pulmonary disease. Transplant function and patient survival after transplantation are better than in most other indications for this procedure. Attention though has to be paid to pretransplant morbidity, time for referral, evaluation, indication, and contraindication in children and in adults. This review makes extensive use of specific evidence in the field of lung transplantation in CF patients and addresses all issues of practical importance. The requirements of pre-, peri-, and postoperative management are discussed in detail including bridging to transplant and postoperative complications, immune suppression, chronic allograft dysfunction, infection, and malignancies being the most important. Among the contributors to this guiding information are 19 members of the ECORN-CF project and other experts. The document is endorsed by the European Cystic Fibrosis Society and sponsored by the Christiane Herzog Foundation.
