Aging Clin Exp Res 2024; 36:155. [PMID: 39085739 PMCID: PMC11291564 DOI: 10.1007/s40520-024-02820-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Malnutrition is prevalent among elderly patients with COPD, who also experience a high rate of readmission. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate the nutrition status of these patients, identify risk factors for readmission, and offer insights for clinical management. To achieve this, a cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate factors influencing nutrition status using GLIM criteria and explore the 180-day readmission factors among hospitalized elderly COPD patients. METHORDS AND RESULTS The data were collected from a hospital in Southwest China, encompassing a cohort of 319 eligible patients. Among elderly hospitalized COPD patients, the prevalence of malnutrition was 49.53% (158/319). Multivariate logistic regression revealed malnutrition (OR = 3.184), very severe airway obstruction (OR = 3.735), and Number of comorbidities ≥ 3 (OR = 5.754) as significant risk factors for 180-day readmission. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that malnutrition is a prevalent issue among elderly hospitalized patients with COPD and constitutes one of the risk factors contributing to the 180-day readmission rate. Therefore, timely identification and treatment for malnourished patients are crucial.

Wu WW. Association of Naples Prognostic Score and Lung Health: A Population-Based Study. Respir Med 2024; 232:107751. [PMID: 39089390 DOI: 10.1016/j.rmed.2024.107751] [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: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) is a novel indicator of inflammatory and nutritional status, but its relationship to lung health is unknown. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship of NPS to lung health problems. METHODS A total of 15,600 participants aged 20 years or older with an available assessment of chronic lung diseases were enrolled from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2012. The NPS was calculated based on serum albumin, total cholesterol, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio. Associations of NPS with chronic lung disease (diagnosed asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema), respiratory symptoms (cough, phlegm production, wheeze, and exertional dyspnea), and spirometric measurements (FEV1, FVC, and obstructive or restrictive spirometry pattern) were evaluated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multiple Cox regressions were used to assess the significance of NPS in relation to all-cause mortality and chronic lower respiratory diseases mortality in participants. Furthermore, to comprehensively assess the association between NSP and chronic lower respiratory diseases mortality, Fine-Gray subdistribution hazards model was performed to analyze non-chronic lower respiratory diseases mortality as a competitive risk. RESULTS People with a higher NPS score were associated with greater odds of asthma, chronic bronchitis, respiratory symptoms (including phlegm production, wheeze, and exertional dyspnea), and a greater risk of obstructive and restrictive spirometry. A higher NPS score was significantly associated with decreased FEV1 and FVC in both overall participants and those with lung health problems. Longitudinally, we found that those in the category with highest NPS were at greater risk of all-cause mortality and chronic lower respiratory diseases mortality in those with chronic lung disease, and respiratory symptoms. CONCLUSIONS An elevated NPS is associated with a host of adverse pulmonary outcomes. Prospective studies to define NPS as a biomarker for impaired lung health are warranted.

Controlling nutritional status score in the prediction of cardiovascular disease prevalence, all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease population: NHANES 1999-2018. BMC Pulm Med 2024; 24:356. [PMID: 39044162 PMCID: PMC11267957 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-024-03175-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is prevalent in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and associated with adverse outcomes, while COPD is intricately linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD), sharing common risk factors. The controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, a promising tool for assessing malnutrition, warrants investigation into its predictive ability for cardiovascular disease prevalence and mortality in COPD patients. METHODS Based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), this study analyzed 1501 adult COPD patients from 1999 to 2018. The endpoints were CVD prevalence, mortality related to CVD, and overall mortality. We evaluated the correlation of the CONUT score with each outcome using logistic regression and Cox regression models. The prognostic evaluation of patients was conducted using Kaplan-Meier curves in accordance with the CONUT score. We formed the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for evaluating the CONUT score's discriminative capability. RESULTS The prevalence of malnutrition was 21.31% in COPD populations. Logistic analyses suggested a distinct connection between the CONUT score and CVD prevalence (OR:1.86, 95%CI:1.28-2.70) in individuals with COPD. The CONUT score demonstrated a significant correlation with a heightened risk of CVD mortality (HR: 1.86, 95%CI: 1.27-2.74) and overall mortality (HR: 1.50, 95%CI: 1.18-1.91). The prognostic outcomes might be effectively discriminated by the CONUT score, as seen by the Kaplan-Meier curves. CONCLUSIONS In summary, the CONUT score provides an uncomplicated and readily attainable marker for forecasting CVD prevalence, total mortality, and mortality from CVD among COPD patients.

Association between nutrition-related indicators with the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and all-cause mortality in the elderly population: evidence from NHANES. Front Nutr 2024; 11:1380791. [PMID: 39081677 PMCID: PMC11286481 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2024.1380791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Background This study aims to use six nutrition-related indicators to assess the relationship between nutritional status and the risk of COPD as well as the all-cause mortality rate, and to determine the most reliable predictive indicators. Methods Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning the years 2013 to 2018 were extracted. Nutritional status was evaluated using Controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Advanced Lung Cancer Inflammation Index (ALI), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), Triglycerides (TG) × Total Cholesterol (TC) × Body Weight (BW) Index (TCBI), and Albumin-to-Globulin Ratio (AGR) nutritional-related indicators. Multivariate weighted logistic and Cox regression models were employed to assess the correlation between the six nutritional-related indicators and the risk of COPD and as all-cause mortality. The restricted cubic spline tests were applied to explore potential nonlinear relationships, and ROC curves and C-index analyses were conducted to compare the predictive capabilities of different indicators. Stratified analysis and propensity score matching (PSM) to assess the robustness of the results. Results In this study, Lower ALI, lower GNRI, and higher CONUT scores were positively correlated with an increased risk of COPD (OR: 1.77, 95% CI: 1.10-2.84) (OR: 8.66, 95% CI: 2.95-25.5), and (OR: 5.11, 95% CI: 1.72-15.2), respectively. It was found that ALI and GNRI had a non-linear relationship with the risk of COPD. After propensity score matching (PSM), the associations between ALI, GNRI, CONUT scores, and COPD remained consistent. Lower ALI, PNI, and GNRI scores were positively associated with all-cause mortality in COPD patients (HR: 2.41, 95% CI: 1.10-5.27), (HR: 3.76, 95% CI: 1.89-7.48), and (HR: 4.55, 95% CI: 1.30-15.9), respectively, with GNRI displaying a non-linear relationship with all-cause mortality. ROC curve and C-index analyses indicated that ALI had the best predictive ability for both COPD risk and all-cause mortality. Conclusion ALI, GNRI, and CONUT scores are correlated with the risk of COPD, while ALI, PNI, and GNRI scores are associated with all-cause mortality in COPD patients. Compared to other nutritional scores, ALI may provide more effective predictive value for both risk and all-cause mortality.

Effect of Macronutrients or Micronutrients Supplementation on Nutritional Status, Physical Functional Capacity and Quality of Life in Patients with COPD: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN NUTRITION ASSOCIATION 2024; 43:473-487. [PMID: 38329722 DOI: 10.1080/27697061.2024.2312852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
Given the importance that a correct and balanced nutrition has on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), supplementation of macro and micronutrients has been proposed, but the results of previous meta-analyses are contrasting. We performed an update of the latest evidence through a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies to assess the role of nutritional supplements in improving nutritional status, pulmonary function, physical performance, and quality of life of these patients.We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 01-01-2010 and 11-01-2023 evaluating the effectiveness of nutritional support in patients affected by stable COPD with an intervention of at least 2 weeks. Primary outcomes were changes in body mass index (BMI) and fat free mass index (FFMI). Secondary outcomes were exercise tolerance (6-min walking test, 6MWT), quality of life (St George's Respiratory Questionnaire, SGRQ) and respiratory function (FEV1). According with supplements type (macronutrients or micronutrients), we calculated the pooled adjusted mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) of the selected outcomes, using random-effects models in presence of high heterogeneity (I2>50%) or fixed-effects models otherwise. The risk of publication bias was evaluated with the trim and fill method.From 967 articles, 20 RCTs were included. Macronutrients supplementation improved BMI (MD 1.0 kg/m2, 95%CI 0.21-1.79), FFMI (MD 0.77 Kg/m2, 95%CI 0.48-1.06), 6MQT (MD 68.39 m, 95%CI 40.07-96.71), and SGRQ (MD -5.14, 95% CI -7.31-2.97), while it does not ameliorate respiratory function (MD 0.26% 95%CI -1.87-2.40). Micronutrients supplementation alone did not improve any of the considered outcomes.

Abstract
Background Malnutrition adversely affects prognosis in various medical conditions, but its implications in older adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in the ICU are underexplored. The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a novel tool for assessing malnutrition risk. This study investigates the association between GNRI and 90-day mortality in this population. Methods We selected older adults with COPD admitted to the ICU from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV 2.2 database. A total of 666 patients were categorized into four groups based on their GNRI score: normal nutrition (>98), mild malnutrition (92-98), moderate malnutrition (82-91), and severe malnutrition (≤81) groups. We employed a restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis to assess the presence of a curved relationship between them and to investigate any potential threshold saturation effect. Results In multivariate Cox regression analyses, compared with individuals had normal nutrition (GNRI in Q4 >98), the adjusted HR values for GNRI in Q3 (92-98), Q2 (82-91), and Q1 (≤81) were 1.81 (95% CI: 1.27-2.58, p=0.001), 1.23 (95% CI: 0.84-1.79, p=0.296), 2.27 (95% CI: 1.57-3.29, p<0.001), respectively. The relationship between GNRI and 90-day mortality demonstrates an L-shaped curve (p=0.016), with an approximate inflection point at 101.5. Conclusion These findings imply that GNRI is a useful prognostic tool in older adults with COPD in the ICU. An L-shaped relationship was observed between GNRI and 90-day mortality in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Frailty is prevalent among older adults with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (obstructive lung diseases [OLDs]). Frailty and OLD's co-occurrence is associated with increased hospitalization/mortality. Chemosensory dysfunction is closely connected to both OLD and frailty. We evaluated the utility of olfactory decline as a biomarker of frailty in the setting of OLD. METHODS We performed a prospective, longitudinal, nationally representative study of community-dwelling older US adults in the National Social Life, Health and Aging Project, an omnibus in-home survey. Respondents reported a physician's diagnosis of OLD. Decline in odor identification and sensitivity over 5 years and frailty (adapted fried frailty phenotype criteria) were measured using standard tools. Multivariate logistic regressions evaluated the association between OLD status, olfactory decline, and frailty. RESULTS We compared individuals with OLD (n = 98; mean age 71.2 years, 59.2% women) and those without OLD (n = 1036; mean age 69.5 years, 58.9% women). Olfactory identification decline was associated with developing frailty over the 5-year follow-up period in individuals with OLD (odds ratio [OR] = 9.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.1-38.6, p = 0.003). Olfactory decline predicted incidence of frailty in individuals with OLD (identification: OR = 4.8, 95% CI = 1.3-17.5, P = 0.018; sensitivity: OR = 6.1, 95%CI = 1.2-31.0, p = 0.030) but not in those without OLD adjusting for demographics, heavy alcohol use, current smoking, and comorbidity. Results were robust to different thresholds for olfactory decline and frailty development. CONCLUSIONS Older adults with OLD who experience olfactory decline face higher odds of developing frailty. Use of olfactory decline as a biomarker to identify frailty could allow earlier intervention and decrease adverse outcomes for high-risk older adults with OLD.

Abstract
The relationship between sarcopenia and prognosis in solid organ transplantation recipients (SOTr) remains unverified. We aimed to quantify the prevalence of pretransplant sarcopenia and its effect on patient and graft survival in SOTr. We used PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science to search relevant studies published in English (from inception to December 31, 2021). Prospective and retrospective cohort studies that reported the prevalence of sarcopenia before transplant or the association between sarcopenia and clinical outcomes in SOTr were included. Primary outcomes were the prevalence of sarcopenia and its impact on patient and graft survival. Secondary outcomes included perioperative complications, acute rejection, length of hospital stay, length of intensive care unit stay (ICU LOS) and early readmission. Thirty-nine studies involving 5792 patients were included. Pooled prevalence of sarcopenia amongst SOTr candidates was 40 % (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 34%-47 % and I2 = 97 %). Sarcopenia was associated with increased risk of death (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.87, 95 % CI: 1.46-2.41 and I2 = 60 %), poor graft survival (HR = 1.71, 95 % CI: 1.16-2.54 and I2 = 57 %) and increased liver graft loss (HR = 1.43, 95 % CI: 1.03-1.99 and I2 = 38 %). Patients with sarcopenia demonstrated increased incidence of perioperative complications (risk ratio [RR] = 1.34, 95 % CI: 1.17-1.53 and I2 = 40 %), long ICU LOS (mean difference = 2.31 days, 95 % CI: 0.58-4.04 and I2 = 97 %) and decreased risk of acute rejection (RR = 0.61, 95 % CI: 0.42-0.89 and I2 = 0 %). In Conclusion, sarcopenia is prevalent in SOTr candidates and associated with death and graft loss. Identifying sarcopenia before transplantation and intervening may improve long-term outcomes.

Nutrients 2024; 16:1028. [PMID: 38613061 PMCID: PMC11013492 DOI: 10.3390/nu16071028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A healthy, well-balanced diet plays an essential role in respiratory diseases. Since micronutrient deficiency is relatively common in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), micronutrient supplementation might have the beneficial health effects in those patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to demonstrate the impact of micronutrient supplementation on the lung function of patients with COPD. METHODS The PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched from their corresponding creation until February 2024. Search terms included 'chronic obstructive pulmonary disease', 'COPD', 'micronutrients', 'dietary supplements', 'vitamins', 'minerals', and 'randomized controlled trials'. Meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the effects of micronutrient supplementation alone or complex on lung function in patients with COPD. RESULTS A total of 43 RCTs fulfilled the inclusion criteria of this study. Meta-analysis revealed that vitamin D supplementation could significantly improve FEV1% (WMDdifferences between baseline and post-intervention (de): 6.39, 95% CI: 4.59, 8.18, p < 0.01; WMDpost-intervention indicators (af): 7.55, 95% CI: 5.86, 9.24, p < 0.01) and FEV1/FVC% (WMDde: 6.88, 95%CI: 2.11, 11.65, WMDaf: 7.64, 95% CI: 3.18, 12.10, p < 0.001), decrease the odds of acute exacerbations, and improve the level of T-cell subsets, including CD3+%, CD4+%, CD8+%, and CD4+/CD8+% (all p < 0.01). The effects of compound nutrients intervention were effective in improving FEV1% (WMDde: 8.38, 95%CI: 1.89, 14.87, WMDaf: 7.07, 95%CI: -0.34, 14.48) and FEV1/FVC% (WMDde: 7.58, 95% CI: 4.86, 10.29, WMDaf: 6.00, 95% CI: 3.19, 8.81). However, vitamin C and vitamin E supplementation alone had no significant effects on lung function (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Micronutrient supplementation, such as vitamin D alone and compound nutrients, has improved effect on the lung function of patients with COPD. Therefore, proper supplementation with micronutrients would be beneficial to stabilize the condition and restore ventilation function for COPD patients.

Abstract
During the last two decades, the definition, diagnosis, and management of malnutrition have significantly evolved. Malnutrition is generally defined as deficiencies, excesses, or imbalances in a person's intake of energy and/or nutrients. While malnutrition is associated with a significantly increased risk of morbidity, mortality, and healthcare cost, it is often underdiagnosed both in healthcare and community settings. One contributing factor is the lack of a consensus on its definition and appropriate diagnostic indicators. In the current article, we review the evolution of frameworks for the diagnosis of malnutrition. Recently published consensuses by prominent clinical nutrition societies have established a trajectory for the uniform global diagnosis of malnutrition. Limiting the use of body mass index (BMI) as a diagnostic criterion while emphasizing the use of muscle mass enables a more consistent and accurate diagnosis of malnutrition in the clinical setting. Guidance for the unified methodology and terminology for diagnosing malnutrition, such as the one proposed in the current article will enable policy makers to systematically address the two faces of malnutrition, starvation- and disease-related malnutrition applicable to both pediatric and adult populations. Policies and programs that could address issues of food insecurity and scarcity as well as early diagnosis and management of disease-related malnutrition will empower better care of community nutrition.

The triad of physiological challenges: investigating the intersection of sarcopenia, malnutrition, and malnutrition-sarcopenia syndrome in patients with COPD - a cross-sectional study. BMC Pulm Med 2024; 24:71. [PMID: 38317093 PMCID: PMC10840248 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-024-02884-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most prevalent respiratory disorders in modern society is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Frequent comorbidities in patients with COPD are abnormal nutritional status and body composition variations. Malnutrition-sarcopenia syndrome, which occurs when the 2 conditions - malnutrition and sarcopenia - coexist, raises the risk of death more than either condition alone. The current study sought to determine the prevalence of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and malnutrition-sarcopenia syndrome in patients with COPD as well as the association between these diseases and the severity of COPD. METHODS The study was an analytical cross-sectional study conducted on hospitalized patients with COPD. The sample size of the study was calculated to be 160. A self-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data, containing sociodemographic characteristics, clinical profiles, anthropometric assessment, and bioimpedance indices. Sarcopenia was diagnosed with low muscle strength and muscle mass by the EWGSOP2 recommendations. Muscle mass is measured by BIA and muscle strength (Handgrip) was measured by a Hand Dynamometer. Assessment of the risk of malnutrition was performed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form questionnaire and was confirmed by GLIM criteria. The COPD assessment test (CAT) tool determined the severity of the condition. For the data analysis, comparisons were made using Student's t test and Mann-Whitney test in bivariate analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed considering the outcomes of patients with COPD by CAT scores, prolonged length of stay, and hospital readmission 6 months after discharge. RESULTS The mean age of the participants was 48 ± 5 years. Approximately 61.9% were found to be sarcopenic. Approximately 45.6% of participants had malnutrition. Malnutrition sarcopenia syndrome was diagnosed in 32.5% of patients. The study analysis revealed that patients with COPD with malnutrition-sarcopenia syndrome had more than twice the odds of prolonged hospital stay, re-admission within 6 months, and higher CAT scores. CONCLUSION The study revealed a high prevalence of sarcopenia, malnutrition, and malnutrition sarcopenia syndrome in patients with COPD. These conditions were found to be statistically significant with prolonged length of stay, re-admission within 6 months, and CAT scores. The findings highlight the importance of addressing these conditions as part of the management of the patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of malnutrition, the clinical characteristics associated with malnutrition and the impact of nutritional status on mortality, quality of life, self-care abilities, and activities of daily living in the older patients with advanced heart failure. METHODS A prospective multicentre cohort study including 260 community-dwelling elderly patients with advanced HF was conducted between June 2017 and December 2019. The study was carried out in 22 primary healthcare centres, three university hospitals, one acute-care hospital, and one geriatric rehabilitation unit in the city of Barcelona (Spain). Nutritional status was assessed at baseline using the Mini Nutritional Assessment questionnaire. Patient-reported outcome measures included quality of life (EQ-5D-3L), self-care behaviour (European Heart Failure Self-care Behaviour Scale) and impact on activities of daily living (Barthel Index). RESULTS Using the MNA-SF, 126 (48.5%) patients were identified as being at risk of malnutrition and 33 (12.7%) patients as having confirmed malnutrition. Compared to HF patients with normal nutritional status, patients with confirmed malnutrition were significantly older, with a lower BMI, and with reduced haemoglobin levels. During follow-up (median 14.9 months, Interquartile Range; 4.9-26.9), 133 (51.2%) of the included participants died, and mortality was significantly higher among patients identified as having malnutrition (p < 0.001). Better Barthel index and quality of life scores were inversely related to the risk of malnutrition, [Odds Ratio (OR) 0.97 (95% Confidence interval 0.96; 0.98) and OR 0.98 (95% Confidence interval, 0.96; 0.99)], respectively. Higher scores in the European Heart Failure Self-care Behaviour Scale, which implies worse self care, were related to higher malnutrition risk, OR 1.05 (95% Confidence interval, 1.02; 1.09. Adjusted multivariate logistic model found that malnutrition was significantly associated with poor quality of life, and adverse impacts on daily activities and self-care. CONCLUSIONS In community-dwelling older patients with advanced HF, malnutrition was associated with worse patient reported outcome measures related to poor quality of life, and adverse impacts on self-care and daily activities. Nutritional status must be systematically addressed by primary care nurses and family doctors to improve survival rates in these patients. It would be helpful the incorporation of expert professionals in nutrition in the primary health care centres.

Abstract
Background Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), the most prevalent chronic respiratory condition, significantly impairs patients' quality of life. The pivotal element in disease management lies in prevention, underscoring the paramount importance of employing a scientific approach to investigate early prevention strategies for COPD. Methods This study delved into the causal link between 28 dietary intakes and COPD employing two-sample Mendelian randomization. We primarily utilized the Inverse Variance Weighted (IVW) method as the main outcome, complemented by Weighted Median (WM), MR-Egger method, along with several sensitivity analysis techniques, all accompanied by visual representations. Results We identified higher odds of COPD following exposure to green beans (OR=1.381, 95% CI=1.119-1.704, P=0.003) and pork intake (OR=2.657, 95% CI=1.203-5.868, P=0.016). In contrast, the odds of developing COPD were lower following exposure to dried fruit (OR=0.481, 95% CI=0.283-0.819, P=0.007), cereal (OR=0.560, 95% CI=0.356-0.880, P=0.012), and whole egg consumption (OR=0.700, 95% CI=0.504-0.972, P=0.033). Conclusion In light of our study's findings, we anticipate that strategically modifying dietary choices may offer an avenue for early COPD prevention in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the associations between different body mass index (BMI) levels and different lung function impairment (LFI) in Chinese people aged over 40 years. METHODS We used a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method to investigate 3000 residents aged over 40 years from 5 areas in Hubei province of China in 2019-20. The data on questionnaire, physical measurements, and spirometry of the participants were collected. The associations of different BMI levels with different LFI were analyzed using multivariate logistic regressions after complex weighting. The spirometry data were analyzed using one-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA), and post-hoc was performed using the least significance difference (LSD)-t test. RESULTS A total of 2860 subjects were included. The prevalence (95%CI) of obstructive lung disease (OLD), restrictive lung disease (RLD), mixed lung disease (MLD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COPD mild, and COPD moderate/severe/very severe were 24.1% (95% CI: 22.2-26.2), 11.6% (95% CI: 10.3-12.9), 4.0% (95% CI: 3.3-4.8), 12.6% (95% CI: 11.0-14.1), 7.2% (95% CI: 6.0-8.4), and 5.3% (95% CI: 4.3-6.4) respectively. After multivariate adjustment, the risk of OLD, COPD, and COPD mild decreased with the increment of BMI levels (both P for trend < 0.05). When compared to the normal weight group, the overweight group and obese group were at lower risk of experiencing OLD than normal group, the ORs were 0.77 (95% CI: 0.59-0.99) and 0.59 (95% CI: 0.40-0.86) respectively. The obese group was at lower risk for people with COPD mild (OR: 0.42, 95%CI: 0.21-0.85). Participants in underweight group were more likely to experience COPD and COPD moderate/severe/very severe, the ORs were 2.82 (95% CI: 1.07-7.39) and 3.89 (95% CI: 1.28-11.87) respectively. CONCLUSION Higher BMI levels were associated with an decreased risk of OLD and COPD. Obesity had a protective effect on lung function in OLD patients and COPD patients. However, there was no significant difference in RLD and MLD prevalence between different BMI groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite the availability of a wide range of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) offerings, individuals with malnutrition are still struggling to meet their nutritional targets. A new concentrated and high-protein energy-dense ONS (≥2.1 kcal/mL;32 g protein/200 mL) with high-quality protein (60% whey protein) has emerged as a pivotal formula to reach the patient's energy-protein requirements, enhance compliance, and maximize stimulation of muscle protein synthesis, key factors driving better nutritional, functional, and clinical outcomes. The purpose of this article is to provide our clinical experience using this new nutritionally concentrated ONS as a therapeutic strategy for patients with DRM. METHODS Three clinical cases have been examined using new assessment procedures and a new form of nutritional therapy, and their impact on the nutritional and functional outcomes in patients with moderate-to-severe DRM. RESULTS A tailored individualized nutritional interventions improved anthropometric, biochemical, and functional outcomes (Case 1,2, and 3) assessed using hand grip strength, bioimpedance and muscle ultrasound, and as well as good gastrointestinal tolerance (Case 1) and compliance to the ONS in patients with DRM (Case 1,2,3). CONCLUSION The use of this novel high-protein energy-dense formula with high-quality protein source (≥2.1 kcal/mL; 32 g protein/200 mL; 60% whey protein) overcome common practical challenges in the medical nutrition therapy of patients with DRM, either because these patients require a highly concentrated formulation to meet nutritional requirements due to loss of appetite, lack of interest in food, and high caloric-protein needs due to disease, and a large quantity and quality of protein to optimize muscle recovery due to sarcopenia, common in patients with moderate-severe malnutrition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) currently ranks as the third leading cause of mortality worldwide, imposing substantial burdens on societal and individual health. Amongst health research tools, walking pace (WP) and hand grip strength (HGS) are cornerstones, extensively associated with diverse health conditions. However, the intricate interplay between these factors and COPD risk remains ambiguous. This study aims to elucidate the causal association of WP, HGS, with COPD risk through a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. METHODS Bidirectional MR analysis was performed using Genome-wide association study (GWAS) data of European individuals for WP, HGS, and COPD. Inverse Variance Weighted (IVW) served as the primary MR analysis approach. To supplement the IVW findings, four additional MR methods [MR-Egger, weighted median, maximum likelihood, simple median] were used. To assess heterogeneity and pleiotropy, sensitivity analyses were performed. In addition, multivariate MR (MVMR) analysis was used to assess causality after adjustment for potential confounders. RESULTS IVW method results show a significant negative association between WP and COPD risk in both initial (genome-wide threshold, odds ratio (OR) = 0.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.09-0.51, P = 5.06 × 10- 4) and secondary (locus-wide threshold, OR = 0.27, 95%CI: 0.18-0.41, P = 4.88 × 10- 10) MR analysis. The reverse MR analysis suggested that COPD also diminishes WP. Additionally, a causal risk reduction for COPD with right HGS (OR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.58-0.94, P = 1.44 × 10- 2) was only found in secondary MR analysis. The outcomes of the four additional MR methods also suggested similar causal relationships, and sensitivity analyses endorsed their robustness. Lastly, the MVMR analysis demonstrated that the WP's effect on reducing COPD risk persisted independently of potential confounding variables. CONCLUSION A bidirectional causal relationship exists between typical WP and COPD risk. Conversely, a decrease in right HGS is unidirectionally associated with an increased risk of COPD. The study suggests that WP may serve as a predictive factor for COPD or as a simple evaluative indicator for prognosis.

Controlling Nutritional Status Score as a Predictor for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation Risk in Elderly Patients. Metabolites 2023; 13:1123.

Abstract
The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score is a simple screening tool able to assess poor nutritional status as well as to predict clinical adverse outcomes in different clinical settings. No data are available in older patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aimed to investigate the CONUT score as a predictor of frequent exacerbations. We retrospectively enrolled 222 patients aged 65 years or older, classified in two groups according to the number of exacerbations (or hospitalizations because AECOPD) during the previous year. The two groups were further divided according to low (<5) or high (≥5) CONUT scores. A total of 67.2% of frequent exacerbators had a high CONUT score. These patients exhibited a significantly higher CAT score, lower FEV1 percentage value, and higher prevalence of severe GOLD stages compared to those with low CONUT. Multivariate analysis showed that a CONUT score ≥ 5 was the best independent predictor (OR 20.740, p < 0.001) of the occurrence of ≥2 exacerbations (or 1 hospitalization) during the previous year. The CONUT score seemed to have a high prognostic value for frequent exacerbations for COPD in older patients. The predictive role of different CONUT score cut-off values needs to be validated in larger COPD populations in future multi-center, prospective clinical studies.

Zhu N, Lin S, Yu H, Liu F, Huang W, Cao C. Naples prognostic score as a novel prognostic prediction indicator in adult asthma patients: A population-based study. World Allergy Organ J 2023; 16:100825. [PMID: 37954399 PMCID: PMC10632111 DOI: 10.1016/j.waojou.2023.100825] [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: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective This study was to evaluate the prognostic value of the Naples prognostic score (NPS) in adult patients with asthma. Methods Data on 44 601 participants from the 1999-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed. The NPS was calculated based on serum albumin, total cholesterol, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and participants were divided into 3 groups. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect information on asthma, and mortality was identified using the National Death Index through December 31, 2019. Multiple logistic regressions were used to analyze the relationship between NPS and its components and the prevalence of asthma. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Cox proportional regressions, and the random survival forest (RSF) were used to assess the significance of NPS and its components in predicting all-cause and cause-specific (cardiovascular, cancer, and respiratory diseases) mortality in asthma patients. Results The mean age of the participants was 47.59 ± 0.18 years, and 48.47% were male. The prevalence of asthma was 13.11%. The participants were categorized into 3 groups: 8306 (18.6%) participants were in group 0 (NPS 0), 30 842 (69.2%) were in group 1 (NPS 1 or 2), and 5453 (11.2%) were in group 2 (NPS 3 or 4). Compared to the reference group, participants in group 2 had a higher prevalence of asthma (odds ratio [OR] = 1.40 [1.24-1.56]). Participants with asthma in group 2 had a significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.42 [1.67-3.50]), cardiovascular mortality (HR = 2.68 [1.50-4.79]), cancer mortality (HR = 2.10 [1.00-4.45]), and respiratory disease mortality (HR = 3.00 [1.18-7.65]) compared to those with asthma in group 0. The RSF showed that NPS had the highest value in predicting all-cause mortality in adults with asthma, compared to its components. Conclusions The results of this study indicate that the NPS is a powerful prognostic indicator for outcomes in asthma patients.

Nutrients 2023; 15:3902. [PMID: 37764686 PMCID: PMC10536642 DOI: 10.3390/nu15183902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Diet has been described as a modifiable risk factor for the development and progression of chronic diseases, and emerging evidence increasingly points to its preventive and therapeutic role in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). While the relationship between the underlying disease and diet is natural in conditions such as metabolic disorders, obesity, diabetes, etc., the direct effect is not so evident in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Poor diet quality and the development of nutrient deficiencies in respiratory diseases, including COPD, can be associated with disease-specific factors such as the exacerbation of respiratory symptoms. These symptoms can be improved by dietary interventions, leading to positive changes in the pathogenesis of the disease and the quality of life of patients. Therefore, our aim was to review the latest randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of dietary interventions in chronic respiratory patients and describe their effects on respiratory function, physical activity, systemic inflammatory parameters, and quality of life. We conducted a literature search on dietary interventions for COPD patients in the PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases, focusing on publications from 1 July 2018 to 1 July 2023. We used specific keywords and MESH terms, focusing on RCTs. A total of 26 articles and 1811 COPD patients were included in this review. On the basis of our findings, dietary interventions, in particular components of the Mediterranean diet such as protein, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and vegetables, appear to have beneficial effects in patients with chronic respiratory diseases, and their application is beneficial. However, long-term follow-up studies are still needed to examine the effects of dietary interventions in this patient population.

Abstract
OBJECT Malnutrition negatively affects patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aimed to explore the potential association between malnutrition, as defined by the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and all-cause mortality in patients with COPD using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). METHOD The data of 579 adults with COPD during NHANES 2013-2018 were analysed. Each patient was assigned to one of the two groups according to GNRI values: normal nutritional status (GNRI>98) and malnutrition status (GNRI≤98). Survival curves and Cox regressions were applied to evaluate the association between nutritional status and mortality. RESULTS Overall, the mean age was 63.4±0.5 years, and 53.9% of the patients were women. The prevalence of malnutrition was 6.6%, and the Kaplan-Meier curves for all-cause mortality according to nutritional status showed that malnutrition was associated with a higher incidence of all-cause mortality. The Cox regression analysis found that in the unadjusted model, the HR was 2.30 (95% CI 1.24 to 4.27, p=0.01). In the fully adjusted model, the adjusted HR was 2.47 (95% CI 1.36 to 4.5, p=0.003). Furthermore, subgroup analysis revealed that the risk of death due to malnutrition increased more than threefold in the low education and cancer subgroups. CONCLUSION A low GNRI was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in patients with COPD.

Abstract
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a disease that is spreading worldwide and is responsible for a huge number of deaths annually. It is characterized by progressive and often irreversible airflow obstruction, with a heterogeneous clinical manifestation based on disease severity. Along with pulmonary impairment, COPD patients display different grades of malnutrition that can be linked to a worsening of respiratory function and to a negative prognosis. Nutritional impairment seems to be related to a reduced exercise tolerance and to dyspnoea becoming a major determinant in patient-perceived quality of life. Many strategies have been proposed to limit the effects of malnutrition on disease progression, but there are still limited data available to determine which of them is the best option to manage COPD patients. The purpose of this review is to highlight the main aspects of COPD-related malnutrition and to underline the importance of poor nutritional state on muscle energetics, exercise tolerance and dyspnoea.

Multidimensional individualized nutritional therapy for individuals with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: study protocol for a registry-based randomized controlled trial. Trials 2023; 24:86.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are often at risk of undernutrition with low health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Undernutrition can worsen COPD and other comorbidities, be an independent predictor of morbidity and functional decline resulting in increased healthcare consumption and increased risk of death. Especially exacerbations and acute infections result in unintentional weight loss. The aim is to investigate the effect of an individualized nutritional intervention among individuals with severe COPD. METHODS An open-label randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups. Participants are recruited from the pulmonary outpatient clinic at the Department of Pulmonary and Infectious Diseases, Copenhagen University Hospital, North Zealand, Denmark, and randomly allocated to either the intervention (intervention + standard of care) or control group (standard of care). The intervention has a duration of 3 months and combines individual nutritional care with adherence support and practical tools. It contains 4 elements including an individual nutritional plan, regular contacts, adherence support, and weight diary. The primary outcome is a difference in HRQoL (EQ-5D-5L) between the intervention and control group 3 months after baseline. Difference in functional capacity (grip strength, 30-s stand chair test, and physical activity), disease-specific quality of life (COPD Assessment Test), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), nutritional parameters (energy and protein intake), anthropometry (weight, body mass index, waist, hip, and upper arm circumference), body composition (total fat-free and fat mass and indices), and prognosis (exacerbations, oxygen therapy, hospital contacts, and mortality) 3 months after baseline will be included as secondary outcomes. Data will be collected through home visits at baseline and 1 and 3 months after baseline. DISCUSSION Currently, nutritional care is a neglected area of outpatient care among individuals with severe COPD. If this patient-centered approach can demonstrate a positive impact on HRQoL, mortality, and hospital contacts, it should be recommended as part of end-of-life care for individuals with severe COPD.

Abstract
Low body mass index (BMI) is an independent predictor of prolonged hospital stay and mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have examined the validity of Asian BMI cutoff values for classifying severity based on the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria in patients with acute COPD exacerbations. This study sought to validate whether Asian BMI cutoff values can accurately predict 30-day in-hospital mortality, length of stay, and 90-day readmission outcomes for patients with acute COPD exacerbations. The present retrospective cohort study was conducted using a large claims database created by the JMDC. Patients were classified into three groups according to the severity of low BMI assessed using Asian BMI cutoff values. As a result, 624 (29.4%) had severely low BMI, and 444 (20.9%) had moderately low BMI. The severity of low BMI, as assessed by the Asian BMI cutoff values used in the GLIM criteria, was independently associated with 30-day in-hospital mortality (moderately low BMI: HR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.13−3.08; p = 0.014 and severely low BMI: HR, 2.55; 95% CI, 1.66−3.92; p < 0.001). The Asian BMI cutoff values used to classify the severity of malnutrition in the GLIM criteria are clinically functional for predicting the prognosis of patients with acute COPD exacerbations.

Front Physiol 2022; 13:948370. [PMID: 36262258 PMCID: PMC9574070 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.948370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The serum albumin level is reflective of the function of multiple organs, such as the liver and kidneys. However, the association between serum albumin and pulmonary function is unclear; therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between pulmonary function and serum albumin, including the threshold of serum albumin at the changes of the pulmonary function in the total population and in different strata of population. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, We examined the relationship between serum albumin and two independent indicators of pulmonary function: forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1), using data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2013–2014) (n = 3286). We used univariate analysis, stratified analysis, and multiple regression equation analysis to examine the correlation between serum albumin levels and FVC and FEV 1, and performed smoothed curve fitting, threshold effect, and saturation effect analysis (for stratification) to determine the threshold serum albumin level at which FVC and FEV 1 begin to change. Results: The adjusted smoothed curve fit plot showed a linear relationship between serum albu-min levels and FVC: for every 1 g/dl increase in the serum albumin level, FVC increased by 80.40 ml (11.18, 149.61). Serum albumin and FEV 1 showed a non-linear relationship. When serum al-bumin reached the inflection point (3.8 g/dl), FEV 1 increased with increasing serum albumin and the correlation coefficient β was 205.55 (140.15, 270.95). Conclusion: Serum albumin is a core indicator of liver function, and abnormal liver function has a direct impact on pulmonary function. In the total population, serum albumin levels were linearly and positively correlated with FVC. Above 3.6 g/dl, serum albumin was positively correlated with FEV 1. Based on the total population and different population strata, this study revealed a positive association between the serum albumin level and pulmonary function, and identified the threshold of serum albumin when Indicators of pulmonary function tests starts to rise, providing a new early warning indicator for people at high risk of pulmonary insufficiency and has positive implications for the prevention of combined respiratory failure in patients with liver insufficiency.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Low serum creatinine/cystatin C ratio (CCR) is associated with unfavorable characteristics in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, the relationship between CCR and in-hospital mortality of patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) is unexplored. Our objective was to assess the value of CCR for predicting in-hospital mortality of patients hospitalized with AECOPD.
Methods
Patients with AECOPD (n = 597) were retrospectively enrolled. Patient’s clinical characteristics and laboratory tests, including serum cystatin C and creatinine, were reviewed. The prediction value of CCR was evaluated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values. Factors potentially impacting in-hospital mortality were investigated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.
Results
Mortality rate during hospitalization was 10.05%. CCR was lower in non-surviving vs. survived patients (41.67 vs. 61.52, P < 0.001). AUC value for CCR for in-hospital mortality prediction was 0.79 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.73–0.85]. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, in-hospital mortality was strongly associated with CCR < 52.27 [odds ratio (OR) 6.23, 95% CI (3.00–12.92), P < 0.001], age ≥ 81 years [OR 2.97, 95% CI (1.20–7.37), P = 0.019], oxygenation index < 300 [OR 3.28, 95% CI (1.27–8.44), P = 0.014], CRP > 8 mg/L [OR 1.84, 95% CI (1.15–2.95), P = 0.012], and D-dimer > 500 ng/L [OR 5.19, 95% CI (1.51–17.79), P = 0.009].
Conclusions
CCR was significantly lower, and is a potential prognostic indicator, in patients with AECOPD who died during hospitalization.

Abstract
Enteral nutrition (EN) is a vital component of nutrition around the world. EN allows for delivery of nutrients to those who cannot maintain adequate nutrition by oral intake alone. Common questions regarding EN are when to initiate and in what scenarios it is safe. The answers to these questions are often complex and require an evidence-based approach. The Board of Directors of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) established an Enteral Nutrition Committtee to address the important questions surrounding the indications for EN. Consensus recommendations were established based on eight extremely clinically relevant questions regarding EN indications as deemed by the Enteral Nutrition Committee. These consensus recommendations may act as a guide for clinicians and stakeholders on difficult questions pertaining to indications for EN. This paper was approved by the ASPEN Board of Directors.

Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic condition that leads to significant morbidity and mortality. Management of COPD hospitalizations utilizing an evidence-based care bundle can provide consistent quality of care and may reduce readmissions. METHODS This single-center retrospective cohort study evaluated readmission rates in patients hospitalized with a COPD exacerbation. Patients in the pre-intervention cohort received usual care, while patients in the post-intervention cohort received an innovative inpatient COPD care bundle. The bundle focused on optimizing care in five areas: consults, inpatient interventions, education, transitions of care, and after discharge care. RESULTS In this study, 149 subjects were included in the pre-intervention cohort and 214 subjects were included in the post-intervention cohort. Thirty-day readmission rates were lower in the post-intervention cohort compared to the pre-intervention cohort, 22.4% vs. 38.3% (p = 0.001). A reduction in 60-day and 90-day readmission rates was also observed, 13.7% vs. 40.3% (p < 0.001) and 10.1% vs. 32.2% (p < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSION Bundled care is an effective and inexpensive method for institutions to provide consistent and quality care. The findings of this study demonstrate that the implementation of a COPD care bundle is an effective strategy to decrease hospital readmissions.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle dysfunction is a common comorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and the molecular mechanisms regarding to the pathogenesis of this disease have not been elucidated. In this study, a novel miR-145-5p was significantly upregulated in the serum collected from patients with COPD-associated muscle atrophy, in contrast with the normal participants. Then, we evidenced that silencing of miR-145-5p suppressed cell death and elongated cell survival during cell culture process. Consistently, upregulation of miR-145-5p induced cell apoptosis and restrain cell viability in the C2C12 cells, suggesting that miR-145-5p contributes to cell death. Further experiments evidenced that miR-145-5p decreased the expression levels of phosphorylated PI3K (p-PI3K), Akt (p-Akt) and mTOR (p-mTOR) to inactivate the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, and this pathway was also reactivated by miR-145-5p ablation. Finally, we proved that the protective effects of miR-145-5p ablation were abrogated by co-treating cells with PI3K inhibitor LY294002. Taken together, we concluded that miR-145-5p promoted cell death to facilitate muscle dysfunctions via inactivating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

Abstract
Pulmonary diseases are main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Current studies show that though specific pulmonary diseases and correlative lung-metabolic deviance own unique pathophysiology and clinical manifestations, they always tend to exhibit common characteristics including reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling and disruptions of proteostasis bringing about accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). ER is generated by the unfolded protein response. When the adaptive unfolded protein response (UPR) fails to preserve ER homeostasis, a maladaptive or terminal UPR is engaged, leading to the disruption of ER integrity and to apoptosis, which is called ER stress. The ER stress mainly includes the accumulation of misfolded and unfolded proteins in lumen and the disorder of Ca2+ balance. ROS mediates several critical aspects of the ER stress response. We summarize the latest advances in of the UPR and ER stress in the pathogenesis of pulmonary disease and discuss potential therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring ER proteostasis in pulmonary disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Weight loss and low lean body mass in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with increased mortality; however, the association between body mass index (BMI) and physical ability remains undetermined. We aimed to investigate the effect of BMI on activities of daily living (ADL) in hospitalized patients with COPD. METHODS We used the Japan Medical Data Center's hospital-based database to extract data on hospitalized patients aged ≥ 20 years admitted for COPD between April 2014 and December 2018. The primary outcome was the presence or absence of deterioration in the Barthel Index score for ADLs at discharge compared with that at admission. Secondary outcomes were the length of hospital stay, readmission within 30 days, and the number of drugs administered on admission. RESULTS We identified 6529 patients with COPD from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, of which 3476 were analyzed (excluded: n = 5, ages < 20 years; n = 3048, missing entries). Barthel Index scores tended to decline in patients with BMI < 18.5 kg/m2 (odds ratio, OR: 2.030, p < 0.001) and Hugh-Jones grade 4 (OR: 1.79, p = 0.05) and grade 5 (OR: 2.15, p = 0.01), but not in the obese group (p = 0.598). The low-weight group had a significantly longer hospital stay (p < 0.001) at 14 (8-25) days with greater readmissions within 30 days (6.3%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Low BMI is associated with lower Barthel Index scores, longer hospital stays, requiring readmissions within 30 days of discharge.

Abstract
Nutraceuticals are dietary supplements that are used to improve health, postpone aging, prevent illnesses, and maintain the human body's correct functioning. Nutraceuticals are now garnering a lot of interest because of their nutritional and therapeutic benefits. The research indicating the relevance of nutraceuticals as a possible therapeutic candidate against inflammatory lung disease was covered in this review. Nowadays, inflammatory lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, pneumonia, lung cancer, becoming highly dreadful because of their associated fatality. Inflammation is one of the cores and common factors of these diseases which is mainly associated with nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) activation, NF-κB p65 and nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor, alpha (IκBα) phosphorylation, and initiation of the signaling pathway of the NF-κB. The secondary metabolites from natural sources are the active component that attenuates NF-κB and the associated pathway that inhibits inflammation in lung diseases. Nutraceuticals belonging to the chemical category polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, tannins have the potential to combat the NF-κB pathway. Accordingly, this review discusses the medical value of nutraceuticals briefly and their ability to mitigate various inflammatory lung diseases through targeting inhibition of NF-κB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease often viewed as part of a multimorbidity complex. There is a need for better phenotyping of the disease, characterization of its interplay with other comorbidities and its association with long-term outcomes. This study aims to examine how clusters of comorbidities are associated with severe exacerbations and mortality in COPD. METHODS Participants with potential COPD were recruited from the second (1995-1997) and third (2006-2008) survey of the HUNT Study and followed up until April 2020. Ten objectively identified comorbidities were clustered using self-organizing maps. Severe COPD exacerbations requiring hospitalization were assessed using hospital data. All-cause mortality was collected from national registries. Multivariable Cox regression was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs for the association between comorbidity clusters and all-cause mortality. Poisson regression was used to calculate incidence rate ratios (IRRs) with 95% CI for the cumulative number of severe exacerbations for each cluster. RESULTS Five distinct clusters were identified, including 'less comorbidity', 'psychological', 'cardiovascular', 'metabolic' and 'cachectic' clusters. Using the less comorbidity cluster as reference, the psychological and cachectic clusters were associated with all-cause mortality (HR 1.23 [1.04-1.45] and HR 1.83 [1.52-2.20], adjusted for age and sex). The same clusters also had increased risk of exacerbations (unadjusted IRR of 1.24 [95% CI 1.04-1.48] and 1.50 [95% CI 1.23-1.83], respectively). CONCLUSION During 25 years of follow-up, individuals in the psychological and cachectic clusters had increased mortality. Furthermore, these clusters were associated with increased risk of severe COPD exacerbations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has an appreciable socioeconomical impact in low- and middle-income countries, but most epidemiological data originate from high-income countries. For this reason, it is especially important to understand survival and factors associated with survival in COPD patients in these countries. OBJECTIVE To assess survival of COPD patients in Brazil, to identify risk factors associated with overall survival, including treatment options funded by the Brazilian National Health System (SUS). METHODOLOGY We built a retrospective cohort study of patients dispensed COPD treatment in SUS, from 2003 to 2015 using a National Database created from the record linkage of administrative databases. We further matched patients 1:1 based on sex, age and year of entry to assess the effect of the medicines on patient survival. We used the Kaplan-Meier method to estimate overall survival of patients, and Cox's model of proportional risks to assess risk factors. RESULT Thirty seven thousand and nine hundred and thirty eight patients were included. Patient's survival rates at 1 and 10 years were 97.6% (CI 95% 97.4-97.8) and 83.1% (CI 95% 81.9-84.3), respectively. The multivariate analysis showed that male patients, over 65 years old and underweight had an increased risk of death. Therapeutic regimens containing a bronchodilator in a free dose along with a fixed-dose combination of corticosteroid and bronchodilator seem to be a protective factor when compared to other regimens. CONCLUSION Our findings contribute to the knowledge of COPD patients' profile, survival rate and related risk factors, providing new evidence that supports the debate about pharmacological therapy and healthcare of these patients.

Abstract
Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death in the world population. In addition to airflow obstruction, COPD is associated with multiple systemic manifestations, including impaired nutritional status or malnutrition and changes in body composition (low muscle mass, LMM). Poor nutritional status and sarcopenia in subjects with COPD leads to a worse prognosis and increases health-related costs. Data from previous studies indicate that 30–60% of subjects with COPD are malnourished, 20–40% have low muscle mass, and 15–21.6% have sarcopenia. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and malnutrition-sarcopenia syndrome in elderly subjects with COPD and investigate the relationship between COPD severity and these conditions.Patients and methods: A cross-sectional study involving 124 patients with stable COPD, aged ≥60, participating in a stationary pulmonary rehabilitation program. Nutritional status was assessed following the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and sarcopenia with the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2 (EWGSOP2) criteria. The results of pulmonary function tests and exercise capacity were obtained from the hospital database. Results: 22.6% of participants had malnutrition according to the GLIM criteria. Subjects with malnutrition had lower gait speed (p = 0.0112) and worse results of the Six Minute Walk Test. Sixteen participants (12.9%) had sarcopenia; 12 subjects with sarcopenia had concomitant malnutrition. The prevalence of severe and very severe obstruction (GOLD3/GOLD4) was 91.7%. It was significantly higher in patients with malnutrition-sarcopenia syndrome. Conclusions: Malnutrition was found in nearly one out of four subjects with COPD, while sarcopenia was one out of seven patients. About 10% of our study sample had malnutrition-sarcopenia syndrome. The prevalence of severe and very severe obstruction was significantly higher in patients with malnutrition-sarcopenia syndrome.

Abstract
Background: Acrylamide is a well-known potential carcinogenic compound formed as an intermediate in the Maillard reaction during heat treatment, mainly from high-temperature frying, and is found in baked goods and coffee, as well as resulting from water treatment, textiles and paper processing. The effects of acrylamide on lung disease in humans remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between blood acrylamide and glycidamide and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the United States of America (U.S.) population using PROC logistic regression models. Results: 2744 participants aged 20 to 80 from the 2013-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were enrolled. After adjusting for demographic data, health factors and serum cotinine, the ratio of HbGA to HbAA (HbGA/HbAA) significantly increased the risk of COPD (P for trend = 0.022). The odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for HbGA/HbAA in the third tile was 2.45 (1.12-5.31), compared with the lowest tile. The restricted cubic spline (RCS) curve showed a positive linear correlation between the log (HbGA/HbAA) and the risk of COPD (P = 0.030). Conclusion: The ratio of glycidamide and acrylamide (HbGA/HbAA) was associated with COPD. This association was more prominent in males, obese individuals, people with a poverty income ratio (PIR) < 1.85 or people who never exercise. However, null associations were observed between HbAA, HbGA and HbAA + HbGA, and COPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is the first study in Poland and one of the first in the world to assess the nutrition of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treated with long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT). METHODS The study group consisted of 110 COPD patients treated with LTOT. Anthropometric measurements and spirometry were performed. The diet of patients was assessed using a 3-day nutrition diary. RESULTS When assessing the degree of airflow obstruction (FEV1% N) depending on the BMI in patients treated with LTOT, a statistically significant correlation was demonstrated between the BMI and the value of the FEV% N parameter (p = 0.0093). Patients with COPD with a BMI >30 had statistically significantly higher values of FEV1% N than patients with a BMI in the range of 20-24.9 (p = 0.0278). Intake of calcium, vitamins A, C, D, E and folates was lower than the recommended daily intake in more than 95% of COPD patients. CONCLUSIONS The diet of COPD patients treated with long-term oxygen therapy was improperly balanced, with deficiencies of important nutrients. Airflow obstruction in the respiratory tract was significantly smaller in obese patients, and greater in patients with diagnosed malnutrition.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the study was to determine the effects of constipation symptoms and nutritional status on disease-related parameters, such as disease duration, spirometry test and quality of life, of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. METHODS The research was performed with 48 COPD patients attending the centre from January 2019 to August 2019. Assessment of constipation symptoms was done by Constipation Severity Instrument (CSI), whereas for quality of life assessment, St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) was used. Patient's nutritional status was determined by food frequency questionnaire. Body mass index (BMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) of the patients were identified with the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method. Statistical assessment of data was done with SPSS 22 program. RESULTS According to the relationship between CSI scores and COPD disease parameters, there was a weak positive correlation between the CSI obstructive defecation subscale and SGRQ activity score and weak positive correlation between CSI colonic inertia subscale and COPD duration from the diagnosis. We found a weak negative correlation between protein intake percentage and SGRQ impact score. As the disease duration increased, the total fat, polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E intake of individuals were determined to reduce. CONCLUSION According to our results, there were some changes in the nutrient intake depending on the duration of COPD, and possible constipation in COPD patients may affect the quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Muscle wasting is frequent in chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and associated with low branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). We hypothesized that BCAA supplementation could potentiate the effect of a pulmonary rehabilitation program (PRP) by inducing muscular change. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty COPD patients (GOLD 2-3) were involved in an ambulatory 4-week PRP either with BCAA oral daily supplementation or placebo daily supplementation in a randomized double-blind design. Maximal exercise test including quadriceps oxygenation measurements, functional exercise test, muscle strength, lung function tests, body composition, dyspnea and quality of life were assessed before and after PRP. RESULTS Fifty-four patients (64.9 ± 8.3 years) completed the protocol. In both groups, maximal exercise capacity, functional and muscle performances, quality of life and dyspnea were improved after 4-week PRP (p ≤ 0.01). Changes in muscle oxygenation during the maximal exercise and recovery period were not modified after 4-week PRP in BCAA group. Contrarily, in the placebo group the muscle oxygenation kinetic of recovery was slowed down after PRP. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that a 4-week PRP with BCAA supplementation is not more beneficial than PRP alone for patients. A longer duration of supplementation or a more precise targeting of patients would need to be investigated to validate an effect on muscle recovery and to demonstrate other beneficial effects.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of doxofylline combined with ceftazidime on clinical efficacy, drug safety, and prognosis in patients with COPD complicated with infection. Material/Methods A total of 450 patients admitted to the Inner Mongolia BaoGang Hospital for treatment of COPD from January 2017 to December 2019 were selected to participate. All patients were randomly divided into control and observation groups, with 225 patients in each group. In addition, patients with COPD in the remission stage were matched by sex and age for a blank control group. The control group was treated with doxofylline, and the observation group was treated with ceftazidime and doxofylline. No drug intervention was given to the blank control group. Short-term efficacy, pulmonary ventilation function, patient quality of life, peripheral blood TNF-α and PGDF-B levels, and adverse drug reactions were observed. Results The effective treatment rate in the observation group was 96.89%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (84.00%). Measures of pulmonary ventilation function and patient quality of life in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group. Levels of TNF-α and PDGF-B in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group. There were no significant differences in the above indicators between the blank control group and the observation group. Conclusions Doxofylline combined with ceftazidime effectively treated patients with COPD complicated with infection. These results provide a reference for clinical treatment.

Abstract
While there is no cure for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), its progressive nature and the formidable challenge to manage its symptoms warrant a more extensive study of the pathogenesis and related mechanisms. A new emphasis on COPD study is the change of energy metabolism. For the first time, this study investigated the anaerobic and aerobic energy metabolic pathways in COPD using the metabolomic approach. Metabolomic analysis was used to investigate energy metabolites in 140 COPD patients. The significance of energy metabolism in COPD was comprehensively explored by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease-GOLD grading, acute exacerbation vs. stable phase (either clinical stability or four-week stable phase), age group, smoking index, lung function, and COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score. Through comprehensive evaluation, we found that COPD patients have a significant imbalance in the aerobic and anaerobic energy metabolisms in resting state, and a high tendency of anaerobic energy supply mechanism that correlates positively with disease progression. This study highlighted the significance of anaerobic and low-efficiency energy supply pathways in lung injury and linked it to the energy-inflammation-lung ventilatory function and the motion limitation mechanism in COPD patients, which implies a novel therapeutic direction for this devastating disease.

Abstract
Objective Peptide ‐based (PB) enteral tube feeding (ETF) formulas have been shown to reduce gastrointestinal (GI) intolerance in patients receiving enteral nutrition. However, limited data exist in relation to their use in the postacute/home care setting. We sought to assess the real‐world GI tolerance, healthcare utilization, and resource use costs of 100% whey‐protein PB ETF in adults in a postacute care setting and describe their demographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics. Method Using medical claims data from the United States, we analyzed GI intolerance events occurring in adults receiving 100% whey‐protein PB ETF (Peptamen® adult formulas) for one year before and after initiation of ETF. Resource use costs were subsequently estimated using a multivariate general linearized model and adjusted for age, gender, and Charlson Comorbidity Index score. Results The proportion of adults experiencing no GI intolerance events increased from 41% (418/1022) to 59% (601/1022) in the one‐year period after initiation of 100% whey PB ETF (P < .001). The proportion of patients with at least one hospital inpatient visit also decreased from 100% (1022/1022) to 72% (737/1022) over the same period, and the mean number of inpatient visits per patient decreased from 15.6 to 13.0. Cost modeling revealed that outpatient visits accounted for 42% ($1174/$2820) of total estimated healthcare resource costs in the first 30 days after 100% whey PB ETF initiation, with only 9% ($255/$2820) due to emergency room visits. Conclusion These 100% whey‐protein PB ETF formulas are a valuable nutrition treatment option for patients with or at risk of malnutrition who show intolerance to standard ETF formulas and may reduce hospital inpatient visits and associated costs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Radical cystectomy (RC) is a highly morbid procedure, with 30-day complication rates approaching 31%. Our objective was to determine risk factors for re-operation within 30 days following a RC for non-metastatic bladder cancer. METHODS We included all patients who underwent a RC for non-metastatic bladder cancer using The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2014. Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate predictors of re-operation. RESULTS A total of 2608 patients were included; 5.8% of patients underwent re-operation within 30 days. On multivariable analysis, increasing body mass index (BMI) (odds ratio [OR] 1.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.07), African American race (vs. Caucasian OR 2.29, 95% CI 1.21-4.34), and history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (OR 2.33, 95% CI 1.45-3.74) were significant predictors of re-operation within 30 days of RC. Urinary diversion type (ileal conduit vs. continent) and history of chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 30 days prior to RC were not. Patients who underwent re-operation within this timeframe had a significantly higher mortality rate (4.0% vs. 1.6%) and were more likely to experience cardiac (7.2% vs. 1.9%), pulmonary (23.0% vs. 3.0%), neurological (2.0% vs. 0.49%), and venous thromboembolic events (10.5% vs. 5.4%), as well as infectious complications (64.5% vs. 24.1%), with a significantly longer hospital length of stay (16.5 vs. 7.0 days). CONCLUSIONS Recognizing increasing BMI, COPD, and African American race as risk factors for re-operation within 30 days of RC will allow urologists to preoperatively identify such high-risk patients and prompt them to adopt more aggressive approaches to minimize postoperative surgical complications.

Abstract
This position paper has been drafted by experts from the Czech national board of diseases with bronchial obstruction, of the Czech Pneumological and Phthisiological Society. The statements and recommendations are based on both the results of randomized controlled trials and data from cross-sectional and prospective real-life studies to ensure they are as close as possible to the context of daily clinical practice and the current health care system of the Czech Republic. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable heterogeneous syndrome with a number of pulmonary and extrapulmonary clinical features and concomitant chronic diseases. The disease is associated with significant mortality, morbidity and reduced quality of life. The main characteristics include persistent respiratory symptoms and only partially reversible airflow obstruction developing due to an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles and gases. Oxidative stress, protease-antiprotease imbalance and increased numbers of pro-inflammatory cells (mainly neutrophils) are the main drivers of primarily non-infectious inflammation in COPD. Besides smoking, household air pollution, occupational exposure, low birth weight, frequent respiratory infections during childhood and also genetic factors are important risk factors of COPD development. Progressive airflow limitation and airway remodelling leads to air trapping, static and dynamic hyperinflation, gas exchange abnormalities and decreased exercise capacity. Various features of the disease are expressed unequally in individual patients, resulting in various types of disease presentation, emerging as the "clinical phenotypes" (for specific clinical characteristics) and "treatable traits" (for treatable characteristics) concept. The estimated prevalence of COPD in Czechia is around 6.7% with 3,200-3,500 deaths reported annually. The elementary requirements for diagnosis of COPD are spirometric confirmation of post-bronchodilator airflow obstruction (post-BD FEV1/VCmax <70%) and respiratory symptoms assessement (dyspnoea, exercise limitation, cough and/or sputum production. In order to establish definite COPD diagnosis, a five-step evaluation should be performed, including: 1/ inhalation risk assessment, 2/ symptoms evaluation, 3/ lung function tests, 4/ laboratory tests and 5/ imaging. At the same time, all alternative diagnoses should be excluded. For disease classification, this position paper uses both GOLD stages (1 to 4), GOLD groups (A to D) and evaluation of clinical phenotype(s). Prognosis assessment should be done in each patient. For this purpose, we recommend the use of the BODE or the CADOT index. Six elementary clinical phenotypes are recognized, including chronic bronchitis, frequent exacerbator, emphysematous, asthma/COPD overlap (ACO), bronchiectases with COPD overlap (BCO) and pulmonary cachexia. In our concept, all of these clinical phenotypes are also considered independent treatable traits. For each treatable trait, specific pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies are defined in this document. The coincidence of two or more clinical phenotypes (i.e., treatable traits) may occur in a single individual, giving the opportunity of fully individualized, phenotype-specific treatment. Treatment of COPD should reflect the complexity and heterogeneity of the disease and be tailored to individual patients. Major goals of COPD treatment are symptom reduction and decreased exacerbation risk. Treatment strategy is divided into five strata: risk elimination, basic treatment, phenotype-specific treatment, treatment of respiratory failure and palliative care, and treatment of comorbidities. Risk elimination includes interventions against tobacco smoking and environmental/occupational exposures. Basic treatment is based on bronchodilator therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, vaccination, care for appropriate nutrition, inhalation training, education and psychosocial support. Adequate phenotype-specific treatment varies phenotype by phenotype, including more than ten different pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies. If more than one clinical phenotype is present, treatment strategy should follow the expression of each phenotypic label separately. In such patients, multicomponental therapeutic regimens are needed, resulting in fully individualized care. In the future, stronger measures against smoking, improvements in occupational and environmental health, early diagnosis strategies, as well as biomarker identification for patients responsive to specific treatments are warranted. New classes of treatment (inhaled PDE3/4 inhibitors, single molecule dual bronchodilators, anti-inflammatory drugs, gene editing molecules or new bronchoscopic procedures) are expected to enter the clinical practice in a very few years.

Abstract
Introduction Two large major trials showed that long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) improved mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hypoxemia. Although oxygen accelerates combustion and is an obvious fire hazard, LTOT has traditionally been prescribed to veterans who are actively smoking. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review of all veterans with COPD at a single center who were prescribed new LTOT between October 2010 and September 2015. Of the 158 patients who met the study criteria, 152 were male. Bayesian logistic regression was used to model the outcome variable fire-related incident with the predictors smoking status, age, race, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and type of oxygen used. Results The mean age of the 158 patients with COPD in the study was 71.3 years in nonsmokers and 65.9 years in smokers. The model-estimated odds (SD) of a fire-related incident occurring in a smoker were 31.6 (5.1-372.7) times the odds of a fire-related incident occurring in a nonsmoker. Conclusions Patients who smoke and remain on LTOT put themselves at greater risk of having a fire-related incident than do nonsmokers.

Abstract
Nutritional status is relevant to functional recovery in patients after an acute process requiring rehabilitation. Nevertheless, little is known about the impact of malnutrition on geriatric rehabilitation. This study aimed to determine the association between nutritional status at admission and the evolution of functional and physical outcomes, as well as the capability of nutritional status to identify fallers among patients admitted to geriatric rehabilitation for different reasons. This was a retrospective cohort study of 375 patients. Data collected included age, gender, diagnosis at admission, comorbidities, cognitive and nutritional status, functional and physical measurements, length of stay, mortality and falls. Orthogeriatric patients with worse nutritional status according to the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) had a significantly lower Barthel Index at admission and discharge with worse functional gain and poorer outcomes in the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). However, in hospital-deconditioned patients, the MNA-SF score was not significantly associated with functional and physical recovery. Poor nutritional status at admission increased the risk of experiencing at least one fall during rehabilitation in orthogeriatric patients. However, hospital-deconditioned patients who fell had better SPPB scores than those who did not fall. Our results demonstrate the importance of nutritional status in the clinical evolution of orthogeriatric patients throughout the rehabilitation process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has been assessed and divided into slow development (SD), normal development (ND) and quick development (QD). Little is known about the plasma proteome characters among these three phenotypes. METHODS We performed a comparative proteomic analysis in the plasma of normal control (NC), SD, ND and QD phenotype COPD patients using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) technique. RESULTS A total of 683 proteins were successfully identified in the plasma samples, of which 394 were considered as high-quality proteins (95% confidential peptides ≥ 2). Further, a total of 25, 19 and 27 different abundant proteins (DAPs) were identified in SD, ND and QD groups, respectively. Gene ontology (GO) classification analysis of all DAPs showed that immune system process (GO:0002376) were the most significant. The pathway enrichment analysis showed that innate immune response (GO:0045087), receptor-mediated endocytosis (GO:0006898) and proteolysis (GO:0006508) were the branch-end terms. Notably, the 15 QD special DAPs were considered as potential markers for identify patient might have quick development COPD, and thus provided more aggressive treatment strategy for these patients. CONCLUSION This work provides an insight into global plasma proteome profiles among the SD, ND and QD phenotypes of COPD patients. The most significant GO terms that the DAPs enriched in were immune system related terms. In addition, the 15 QD specific DPAs provided candidates of potential markers to predict the development types of COPD patients.
