Impact of Controlling Nutritional Status Score on Mortality in Elderly Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2825. [PMID: 38792367 PMCID: PMC11122391 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13102825] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: There are only a few reports on the nutritional status and mortality of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). As such, this study aims to investigate the relationship between controlling nutritional status (CONUT) and the mortality of elderly patients with IPF. Methods: A total of 170 IPF patients aged ≥65 years old who visited the rehabilitation department of our hospital between July 2014 and July 2021 (mean age: 75.7 ± 6.3 years, sex (male/female): 138/32, %FVC: 78.3 ± 18.3%) were retrospectively analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were applied. Furthermore, using a Cox proportional hazards model with multivariate analysis, we analyzed the relationship between all-cause mortality and baseline characteristics including CONUT. Results: Based on the CONUT score, the normal group included 101 cases, the mild group included 58 cases, the moderate group included 11 cases, and the severe group had 0 cases. There were 49 cases of all-cause mortality events, suggesting that the mortality of the moderate group was significantly poorer than that of the normal and mild groups (p < 0.05). Furthermore, multivariate analysis identified GAP stage (HR: 5.972, 95%CI: 2.901~12.291, p < 0.0001), mMRC scale (HR: 0.615, 95%CI: 0.389~0.971, p = 0.009), and CONUT (HR: 2.012, 95%CI: 1.192~3.395, p = 0.037) as factors significantly influencing mortality. Conclusions: Severe malnutrition was not observed in elderly patients with IPF. Moderate malnutrition was associated with a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality, suggesting that CONUT is an important indicator for predicting mortality.

Abstract
Sarcopenia prevalence and its risk factors in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) vary partly due to definition criteria. This systematic review aimed to identify the prevalence and risk factors of sarcopenia in COPD patients. This review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022310750). Nine electronic databases were searched from inception to September 1st, 2022, and studies related to sarcopenia and COPD were identified. Study quality was assessed using a validated scale matched to study designs, and a meta-analysis was performed to evaluate sarcopenia prevalence. COPD patients with sarcopenia were compared to those without sarcopenia for BMI, smoking, and mMRC. The current meta-analysis included 15 studies, with a total of 7,583 patients. The overall sarcopenia prevalence was 29% [95% CI: 22%-37%], and the OR of sarcopenia in COPD patients was 1.51 (95% CI: 1.19-1.92). The meta-analysis and systematic review showed that mMRC (OR = 2.02, P = 0.04) and age (OR = 1.15, P = 0.004) were significant risk factors for sarcopenia in COPD patients. In contrast, no significant relationship was observed between sarcopenia and smoking and BMI. Nursing researchers should pay more attention to the symptomatic management of COPD and encourage patients to participate in daily activities in the early stages of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND changes in body composition (BC) are common in interstitial lung disease, which leads to an increased risk of complications and infections, and are associated with poor quality of life and worse outcomes. BC assessment is important to identify malnutrition and sarcopenia. However, gold-standard techniques are not available in all clinical settings. AIMS this study aimed to evaluate the agreement and reliability of body composition estimated by bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) and measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in women with interstitial lung disease. METHODS this is a cross-sectional study. BC (fat mass and appendicular skeletal muscle mass) were assessed using BIA multifrequency and DEXA in standardized conditions. Agreement and reliability between techniques were evaluated using Bland-Altman plots and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS a total of 50 women were evaluated. No differences were observed for FM (BIA, 25.8 ± 10.2 kg and DEXA, 26.3 ± 10.0 kg, p = 0.77) and ASMM (BIA, 14.1 ± 2.7 kg and DEXA, 13.9 ± 2.3 kg, p = 0.83). Based on ICC, good reliability was observed for FM (ICC, 0.98) and ASMM (ICC, 0.93). CONCLUSION BC estimated by BIA showed good agreement and reliability with DEXA measurements. In the absence of this method, BIA can replace the DEXA technique for body composition assessment.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to establish equations for estimating muscle mass through anthropometric parameters or together with physical function parameters in the community-dwelling older adults, providing a simple way of muscle mass assessment. Methods In this cross-sectional descriptive study, a total of 1537 older adults were recruited from the community and accepted the measurements of height, weight, upper arm and calf circumferences, grip strength, and walking speed. Body composition including appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) was measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Participants were randomly divided into the development or validation group. Stepwise multiple linear regression was applied to develop equations in the development group. Thereafter, Pearson correlation coefficients, Bland-Altman plots, paired t-test, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and paired-samples t-tests were used to assess the validity of the equations. Results All parameters were significantly correlated with ASM (r = 0.195~0.795, P < 0.001) except for the age in the validation group (P = 0.746). The most optimal anthropometric equation was: [adjusted R2 = 0.911, standard error of the estimate (SEE) = 1.311, P < 0.001]. Comparatively speaking, this equation showed high correlation coefficient (r = 0.951, P < 0.001) and ICC (ICC = 0.950, P < 0.001). No significant differences were found between BIA-measured ASM and the estimated ASM. The Bland-Altman plot showed that the mean difference between the estimated ASM and BIA-measured ASM was 0 kg and the limits of agreement of ASM was -2.70~2.60 kg. Furthermore, inclusion of physical function did not significantly improve the adjusted R2 and SEE. Conclusion The anthropometric equation offers a practical alternative simple and dependable method for estimating ASM in community-dwelling older adults.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Skeletal muscle quality and mass are important for maintaining physical function during advancing age. We leveraged baseline data from Randomized Trial to Prevent Vascular Events in HIV (REPRIEVE) to evaluate whether paraspinal muscle density and muscle area are associated with cardiac or physical function outcomes in people with HIV (PWH). METHODS REPRIEVE is a double-blind randomized trial evaluating the effect of pitavastatin for primary prevention of major adverse cardiovascular events in PWH. This cross-sectional analysis focuses on participants who underwent coronary computed tomography at baseline. Lower thoracic paraspinal muscle density (Hounsfield units [HU]) and area (cm 2 ) were assessed on noncontrast computed tomography. RESULTS Of 805 PWH, 708 had paraspinal muscle measurements. The median age was 51 years and 17% were natal female patients. The median muscle density was 41 HU (male) and 30 HU (female); area 13.2 cm 2 /m (male) and 9.9 cm 2 /m (female). In adjusted analyses, greater density (less fat) was associated with a lower prevalence of any coronary artery plaque, coronary artery calcium score >0, and high plaque burden ( P = 0.06); area was not associated with plaque measures. Among 139 patients with physical function measures, greater area (but not density) was associated with better performance on a short physical performance battery and grip strength. CONCLUSIONS Among PWH, greater paraspinal muscle density was associated with a lower prevalence of coronary artery disease while greater area was associated with better physical performance. Whether changes in density or area are associated with changes in CAD or physical performance will be evaluated through longitudinal analyses in REPRIEVE.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine the validity of urinary N-terminal titin fragment/creatinine (urinary N-titin/Cr) reflecting muscle damage biomarker in patients with interstitial lung disease. This retrospective study enrolled patients with interstitial lung disease. We measured urinary N-titin/Cr. Furthermore, we measured the cross-sectional areas of the pectoralis muscles above the aortic arch (PMCSA) and erector spinae muscles of the 12th thoracic vertebra muscles (ESMCSA) to assess muscle mass until 1 year. We examined the correlation between urinary N-titin/Cr and the change in muscle mass. We plotted receiver operating characteristic curves to estimate the cut-off points for urinary N-titin/Cr for distinguishing the greater-than-median and smaller-than-median reduction of muscle mass after 1 year. We enrolled 68 patients with interstitial lung disease. The median urinary N-titin/Cr value was 7.0 pmol/mg/dL. We observed significant negative correlations between urinary N-titin/Cr and changes in the PMCSA after 1 year (p < 0.001) and changes in the ESMCSA after 6 months (p < 0.001) and 1 year (p < 0.001). The cut-off points for urinary N-titin/Cr were 5.2 pmol/mg/dL and 10.4 pmol/mg/dL in the PMCSA and ESMCSA, respectively. In summary, urinary N-titin/Cr may predict muscle loss in the long-term and act as a clinically useful biomarker reflecting muscle damage.

A multicenter analysis. Clin Nutr 2023; 42:1036-1040. [PMID: 37156143 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2023.04.022] [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: 09/16/2022] [Revised: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Computed tomography (CT) defined muscle mass can be used as a surrogate parameter for sarcopenia. The present study used thoracic CT to assess pectoralis muscle area and density as an imaging biomarker for prognosis of 30-day mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) METHODS: The clinical database was retrospectively screened for patients with thoracic CT in 3 centers. Pectoralis musculature was measured on axial slices of the thoracic CT at the level of T4 of contrast enhanced pulmonary angiography CT. Skeletal muscle area (SMA), skeletal muscle index (SMI), muscle density and gauge were calculated. RESULTS Overall, 981 patients (440 female, 44.9%) with a mean age of 63.5 ± 15.9 years were included into the study and 144 patients (14.6%) died within the 30-days period. Every pectoral muscle value was higher in survivors compared to non-survivors (exemplarily for SMI 9.9 ± 3.5 cm2/m2 versus 7.8 ± 2.6 cm2/m2, p < 0.001). Moreover, 91 patients were defined as hemodynamically instable (9.3%). Comparable, every pectoral muscle parameter was higher in patients with hemodynamically stable course compared to instable course. Different muscle variables are related to 30-day mortality: SMA, OR = 0.94 (95%CI= (0.92; 0.96), p < 0.001); SMI, OR = 0.78 (95%CI= (0.72; 0.84), p < 0.001); muscle density, OR = 0.96 (95%CI = (0.94; 0.97), p < 0.001); muscle gauge OR = 0.96 (95%CI = (0.94; 0.99), p < 0.001). SMI and muscle density were independently associated with 30-days mortality: SMI, OR = 0.81 (95%CI = (0.75; 0.88), p < 0.001); muscle density: OR = 0.96 (95%CI= (0.95; 0.98), p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Parameters of the pectoralis musculature are associated with 30-day mortality in patients with acute PE. These findings should lead to an independent validation study and ultimately to the inclusion into clinical routine as a prognostic factor.

Determinants of Six-Minute Walk Distance in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Idiopathic Pleuroparenchymal Fibroelastosis. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10102556. [PMID: 36289817 PMCID: PMC9599550 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10102556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 10/03/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) is an independent factor for mortality. Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (IPPFE) is a rare disease with physical features such as emaciation, but the relationship between IPPFE and 6MWD is unclear. In this study, we investigated the factors that cause a decrease in the percent of the predicted value of a 6-minute walk distance (%6MWD), including the disease entities, IPF and IPPFE. Methods: This study included 100 patients (IPF: 75 patients, IPPFE: 25 patients, age: 73.5 ± 7.2 years, sex: 73 males) who visited the rehabilitation department. Patients with a %6MWD ≥ 80% were assigned to the normal group (n = 54), and patients with a %6MWD < 80% were assigned to the decreased group (n = 46). The items showing a significant difference between groups were used as independent variables, after the consideration of multicollinearity, for a logistic analysis where %6MWD < 80% was used as the dependent variable. Results: The 6MWD results show that there was no significant difference between IPF and IPPFE in the absolute value of 6MWD and in the number of people with 6MWD ≥ 250 m, but when 6MWD was compared with %6MWD, the IPPFE group showed a significantly lower value than the IPF group (p = 0.013). Logistic regression analysis showed that only BMI (p = 0.032), GAP index (p = 0.043), and mMRC (p = 0.026) were factors that caused a decrease in %6MWD in 100 patients. Conclusion: The results suggest that leanness, shortness of breath and severity of illness are the most important factors that determine exercise tolerance, regardless of disease entity in IPF and IPPFE.

Abstract
Objectives Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by reduced muscle mass and function. It is well-recognized as a complication in chronic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, little is known about sarcopenia in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of sarcopenia and the association between quality of life and sarcopenia in patients with IPF. Methods In this pilot cross-sectional study, 56 Japanese outpatients with IPF (49 men) were enrolled prospectively. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the criteria of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019. Its associations with clinical parameters including age, pulmonary functions, physical performance, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were examined. Results The frequency of sarcopenia was 39.3% (n = 22) in this cohort. There were significant differences in St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (p = .005), modified Medical Research Council score (p = .004), and Hospital and Anxiety Depression Scale depression score (p = .030) between the sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic groups. On multivariate regression analysis, 6-min walk distance (6MWD) was an independent factor associated with sarcopenia (odds ratio 1.241, 95% confidence interval 1.016–1.515, p = .034). Conclusion Sarcopenia was associated with PROs and physical performance in patients with IPF.

Dynapenia is highly prevalent in older patients with advanced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Sci Rep 2021; 11:17884. [PMID: 34504219 PMCID: PMC8429581 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-97424-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Body composition and muscle strength are emerging aspects in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) clinical assessment. We aimed to study the relationships of handgrip strength (HGS) with anthropometric variables, body composition, and disease staging, and to evaluate the prevalence of dynapenia in 102 clinically stable IPF patients (70 M; mean age: 69.4 years). Fat-free mass (FFM), skeletal muscle (SM) were estimated with bioimpedance analysis. HGS was measured with a digital handle dynamometer for both dominant and non-dominant body sides. Dynapenia was identified according to six recognized criteria sets. Mean body mass index (BMI) was 28.2 ± 4.7 kg/m2, with a prevalence of overweight (BMI > 25 and < 30 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) of 35% and 37%, respectively. FFM and SM were greater in males, whereas percentage body fat was higher in women. HGS was higher and declined with age slightly more rapidly in men, showing a stronger correlation with FFM and SM. Dynapenia prevalence ranged from 20.6 to 56.9%, depending on the criteria used, and was more frequent in older patients and advanced disease. Dynapenia is highly prevalent in IPF. HGS is a promising proxy marker of muscle function to be used in clinical evaluation and follow-up programs.
