Malnutrition is very prevalent in patients with gastric cancer and increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. Adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT) appears as an important objective, quick, inexpensive and noninvasive measure to assess the muscle compartment.
To compare APMT and other nutritional assessment methods and to correlate these methods with postoperative mortality.
Forty-four patients, 29 men and 15 women, mean age of 63±10.2 and ranging from 34-83 years, who underwent nine (20.5%) partial and 34 (77.3%) total gastrectomies due to stomach cancer (stage II to IIIa) were preoperatively assessed by Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), anthropometry and laboratorial profile.
APMT better predicted death (p<0.001) on both, dominant and non-dominant hand, and well correlated with albumin (p=0.039) and PG-SGA (p=0.007).
APMT clearly allowed to determine malnutrition and to predict risk of death in patients with gastric cancer.
营养不良在胃癌患者中非常普遍,会增加发病和死亡风险。拇收肌厚度(APMT)似乎是评估肌肉群的一项重要、快速、廉价且无创的指标。
比较APMT与其他营养评估方法,并将这些方法与术后死亡率相关联。
44例患者,男性29例,女性15例,平均年龄63±10.2岁,年龄范围34 - 83岁,因胃癌(II期至IIIa期)接受了9例(20.5%)部分胃切除术和34例(77.3%)全胃切除术,术前通过患者主观整体评定法(PG - SGA)、人体测量学和实验室检查进行评估。
APMT在优势手和非优势手都能更好地预测死亡(p<0.001),且与白蛋白(p = 0.039)和PG - SGA(p = 0.007)相关性良好。
APMT能够明确判定胃癌患者的营养不良情况并预测死亡风险。
