Clinical application of bioelectrical impedance analysis and its phase angle for nutritional assessment of critically III patie
Intensive care | Phase Angle | Hyung-Sook Kim, et al. | 2015 | Korea | Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Purpose: Phase angle (PA) is objectively determined from resistance and reactance measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)− a quick, noninvasive method. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical application of PA by BIA for nutritional assessment of critically ill patients. Methods: Eighty nine adult patients admitted to a medical intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary academic hospital from August 2012 to September 2013 were analyzed. PA values were measured by direct segmental multi-frequency BIA. As traditional …
Assessment of body water distribution in patients with sepsis during fluid resuscitation using multi-frequency direct segmental
Intensive care | TBW, ICW, ECW, ECW/TBW | Park et al. | 2020 | Korea | Clinical Nutrition
Background & aims Although initial fluid resuscitation in sepsis is critical for the treatment of tissue hypoperfusion, little evidence supports the distribution of infused fluid in patients with sepsis. This study was designed to assess the body water distribution in patients with sepsis using bioelectrical impedance analysis and correlate the trend in body water distribution during fluid treatment with the prognosis of patients with sepsis. Methods A prospective study in a single emergency department was performed, and adult patients suspected of …
Association of bioelectric impedance analysis body composition and disease severity in COVID-19 hospital ward and ICU patients:
Intensive care | ECW/TBW, Phase angle, SMI | Moonen et al. | 2020 | Netherlands | Clinical Nutrition
Background The current severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic is unprecedented in its impact. It is essential to shed light on patient characteristics that predispose to a more severe disease course. Obesity, defined as a BMI> 30 kg/m 2, is suggested to be one of these characteristics. However, BMI does not differentiate between fat mass and lean body mass, or the distribution of fat tissue. The aim of the present study was to assess the body composition of COVID-19 patients admitted to the ward or the ICU …
Comparisons between validated estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) equations and isotopic GFR in HIV patients
Intensive care | TBW, SMM, BFM | Praditpornsilpa K et al. | 2012 | Thailand | AIDS
Objective Understanding how best to measure renal function in HIV-infected patients is critical because estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in HIV-infected patients can be affected by ethnicity and body composition. We validated the available eGFR equations and compared them to the plasma 99m Tc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (99m Tc-DTPA) clearance in HIV-infected patients. Design
Higher Proportion of Abnormal Nutritional Status Among Well-Suppressed HIV-Infected Elderly Asians Compared to HIV-Negative Ind
Intensive care | WHR, PBF, BFM | Apornpong et al. | 2020 | Thailand | AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses
Older adults face physiological, psychological, social, and economic changes, which may impair nutritional status, making the body vulnerable to illness and adverse clinical outcomes. Little is known regarding the nutritional status among elderly people living with HIV (PLHIV). We aimed to study the prevalence of malnutrition and the associated factors in a Thai aging cohort. A cross-sectional study was conducted among PLHIV> 50 years of age on long-term antiretroviral therapy and HIV-negative controls, frequency matched by sex and …
Polymorphisms of the ApoE (apolipoprotein E) gene and their influence on dyslipidemia in HIV-1-infected individuals
Intensive care | BFM, VFA | Suwalak T et al. | 2015 | Thailand | Japanese journal of infectious diseases
The purpose of this retrospective case-control study was to investigate the frequency of Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphisms and their influence on antiretroviral therapy (ART)-induced lipodystrophy or dyslipidemia in HIV-infected Thai patients. The clinical …
Phase Angle and Frailty Are Important Prognostic Factors in Critically Ill Medical Patients: A Prospective Cohort Study
Intensive care | MM, FFM, PBF, Phase angle, ECW/TBW | Ko et al. | 2020 | Korea | J Nutr Health Aging
Objectives To investigate whether phase angle (PhA) measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and frailty are associated with the outcomes of critical illnesses. Design A single-center prospective cohort study. Setting Medical intensive care unit (ICU) in Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea. Participants 97 patients who were admitted to the medical ICU. Measurements On admission, PhA was measured by BIA, and frailty was assessed by the Korean Modified Barthel Index (KMBI) scoring system. Patients …
