Abstract
PURPOSE We aim to establish diagnostic thresholds of sarcopenia and myosteatosis based on CT measurements, and to validate their prognostic value in a large cohort of kidney transplant recipients. METHODS Local healthy population with abdominal CT between 2010 and 2022, and patients underwent kidney transplantation between 2015 and 2019 at our center were retrospectively included. The skeletal muscle index and muscle attenuation of abdominal muscles were calculated based on CT image at the middle of the third lumbar vertebra. Primary endpoints included all-cause mortality and death censored allograft survival. RESULTS Age- and sex-specific thresholds for sarcopenia and myosteatosis were established based on 1598 healthy local population. The final patient cohort consisted of 992 kidney transplant recipients (median age 34 years, interquartile range 28-44 years; 694 males), including 33 (3.3%) with sarcopenia and 95 (9.5%) with myosteatosis. Multivariate analysis revealed myosteatosis (adjusted hazard ratio = 3.08, p = 0.022) was an independent baseline risk factor of mortality after adjusting for age, the history of cancer, and the history of cardiovascular event. Multivariate analysis found preemptive transplantation (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.36, p = 0.037) was an independent protective factor of allograft loss. No difference was found in the prognosis between kidney transplant recipients with and without sarcopenia. CONCLUSION Myosteatosis was an independent risk factor of mortality after kidney transplantation, but sarcopenia was not. Neither sarcopenia nor myosteatosis was associated with graft loss.

[PMID: 37509201 PMCID: PMC10377557 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15143538] [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: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the role of preoperative CT-based skeletal muscle mass depletion on postoperative clinical outcomes and survival in patients who underwent total laryngectomy for cancer. METHODS Patients operated on between January 2011 and March 2020 were retrospectively included. Skeletal muscle area and intra- and inter-muscular fat accumulation were measured at the third lumbar vertebral level on preoperative CT scans. Skeletal muscle mass depletion was defined based on pre-established cut-off values. Their association with postoperative morbidity, length of stay (LOS), costs, and survival was assessed. RESULTS A total of 84 patients were included, of which 37 (44%) had preoperative skeletal muscle mass depletion. The rate of postoperative fistula (23% vs. 35%, p = 0.348), cutaneous cervical dehiscence (17% vs. 11%, p = 0.629), superficial incisional surgical site infections (SSI) (12% vs. 10%, p = 1.000), and unplanned reoperation (38% vs. 37%, p = 1.000) were comparable between the two patient groups. No difference in median LOS was observed (41 vs. 33 days, p = 0.295), nor in treatment costs (119,976 vs. 109,402 CHF, p = 0.585). The median overall survival was comparable between the two groups (3.43 vs. 4.95 years, p = 0.09). CONCLUSIONS Skeletal muscle mass depletion alone had no significant impact on postoperative clinical outcomes or survival.

Abstract
Importance Combined modality therapy, such as chemoradiotherapy, often results in significant morbidity among patients with head and neck cancer. Although the role of body mass index (BMI) varies based on cancer subtypes, its association with treatment response, tumor recurrence, and survival outcomes among patients with head and neck cancer remains unclear. Objective To evaluate the role of BMI in treatment response, tumor recurrence, and survival outcomes among patients with head and neck cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective, observational, single-institution cohort study conducted at a comprehensive cancer center included 445 patients with nonmetastatic head and neck cancer who underwent chemoradiotherapy from January 1, 2005, to January 31, 2021. Exposure Normal vs overweight or obese BMI. Main Outcomes and Measures Metabolic response after chemoradiotherapy, locoregional failure (LRF), distant failure (DF), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS), with Bonferroni correction used to adjust for multiple comparisons and P < .025 being considered statistically significant. Results A total of 445 patients (373 men [83.8%]; median age, 61 years [IQR, 55-66 years]; 107 [24.0%] with normal BMI, 179 [40.2%] with overweight BMI, and 159 [35.7%] with obese BMI) were included for analysis. Median follow-up was 48.1 months (IQR, 24.7-74.9 months). On Cox proportional hazards regression multivariable analysis, only overweight BMI was associated with improved OS (5-year OS, 71.5% vs 58.4%; adjusted hazard ratio [AHR], 0.59 [95% CI, 0.39-0.91]; P = .02) and PFS (5-year PFS, 68.3% vs 50.8%; AHR, 0.51 [95% CI, 0.34-0.75]; P < .001). On logistic multivariable analysis, overweight BMI (91.6% vs 73.8%; adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 0.86 [95% CI, 0.80-0.93]; P < .001) and obese BMI (90.6% vs 73.8%; AOR, 0.89 [95% CI, 0.81-0.96]; P = .005) were associated with complete metabolic response on follow-up positron emission tomography-computed tomography after treatments. On Fine-Gray multivariable analysis, overweight BMI was associated with reduction in LRF (5-year LRF, 7.0% vs 25.9%; AHR, 0.30 [95% CI, 0.12-0.71]; P = .01), but not DF (5-year DF, 17.4% vs 21.5%; AHR, 0.92 [95% CI, 0.47-1.77]; P = .79). Obese BMI was not associated with LRF (5-year LRF, 10.4% vs 25.9%; AHR, 0.63 [95% CI, 0.29-1.37]; P = .24) or DF (5-year DF, 15.0% vs 21.5%; AHR, 0.70 [95% CI, 0.35-1.38]; P = .30). Conclusion In this cohort study of patients with head and neck cancer, when compared with normal BMI, overweight BMI was an independent factor favorably associated with complete response after treatments, OS, PFS, and LRF. Further investigations are warranted to improve understanding on the role of BMI among patients with head and neck cancer.
