BACKGROUND/AIM: The bioimpedance analysis (BIA) can provide anthropometric data on patients. The aim of the study is to evaluate the clinical relevance of these automatically obtained values.
We studied the arm circumference (AC) and arm muscle circumference (AMC) of 197 histologically proven cirrhotic patients. The BIA-based anthropometric data were compared to the manually measured data. In addition, we evaluated whether or not the BIA-based anthropometric data were associated with the prognosis of the patients.
The data of %AC and %AMC obtained using the two methods were well correlated (p<0.001) with relatively inconspicuous differences (approximately 6.0% for %AC and 16.0% for %AMC). The data of %AC and %AMC obtained from the BIA method were significantly associated with the prognosis of the patients.
The BIA-based anthropometric data were associated with the direct measurement data and related to the prognosis of cirrhotic patients.
背景/目的:生物阻抗分析(BIA)可提供患者的人体测量学数据。本研究旨在评估这些自动获得的值的临床相关性。
我们研究了 197 例经组织学证实的肝硬化患者的臂围(AC)和臂肌围(AMC)。将基于 BIA 的人体测量数据与手动测量数据进行比较。此外,我们还评估了基于 BIA 的人体测量数据是否与患者的预后相关。
两种方法获得的%AC 和%AMC 数据相关性良好(p<0.001),差异不明显(%AC 约为 6.0%,%AMC 约为 16.0%)。BIA 法获得的%AC 和%AMC 数据与患者的预后显著相关。
基于 BIA 的人体测量数据与直接测量数据相关,并与肝硬化患者的预后相关。
