BACKGROUND/AIM: To elucidate factors associated with secular changes of grip strength (GS) in patients with chronic liver diseases (CLDs) (n=241, 102 males, median age=63 years, 87 liver cirrhosis cases).
ΔGS (kg/year) was defined as [GS value (second time) - GS value (first time)]/[time interval between the first and second time]. GS loss (GSL) was defined as ΔGS <0 kg/year.
The median ΔGS in patients with non-LC, Child-Pugh A (n=70) and Child-Pugh B (n=17) were 0.3, -0.2 and -1.6 kg/year (overall p<0.0001). In the multivariate analysis of factors linked to the GSL for all cases, extracellular water (ECW) to total body water (TBW) ratio was significant (p=0.0007). In the multivariate analysis in male, no significant factor was found, while in female, ECW to TBW ratio was significant (p=0.0024).
Liver functional parameters can be closely linked to the GSL especially in female CLD patients.
背景/目的:阐明与慢性肝病(CLD)患者握力(GS)的长期变化相关的因素(n=241,男性 102 例,中位年龄 63 岁,87 例肝硬化)。
ΔGS(kg/年)定义为[第二次 GS 值-第一次 GS 值]/[第一次和第二次之间的时间间隔]。GS 损失(GSL)定义为 ΔGS <0 kg/年。
非 LC、Child-Pugh A(n=70)和 Child-Pugh B(n=17)患者的中位 ΔGS 分别为 0.3、-0.2 和-1.6 kg/年(总体 p<0.0001)。在所有病例与 GSL 相关的因素的多变量分析中,细胞外液(ECW)与总体水(TBW)的比值具有显著性(p=0.0007)。在男性的多变量分析中,未发现显著因素,而在女性中,ECW 与 TBW 的比值具有显著性(p=0.0024)。
肝功能参数与 GSL 密切相关,尤其是在女性 CLD 患者中。
