Abstract

Background/Objectives: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, atrophy, and paralysis. Treatment focuses on symptom management, using medication, physiotherapy, and nutritional support. In this context, endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) can provide adequate feeding, hopefully improving nutrition and preventing complications. Methods: We studied ALS patients undergoing PEG over three months post-procedure, using anthropometry ((BMI)-body mass index; (MUAC)-mid-upper arm circumference; (TSF)-tricipital skinfold; (MAMC)-mid-arm muscle circumference) and laboratory data (Albumin; Transferrin; total cholesterol and hemoglobin), evaluating survival, complications, and nutritional/clinical status. Statistical analysis included Kaplan-Meier survival estimation and Cox regression to assess nutritional markers associated with survival. Results: 150 ALS patients underwent gastrostomy, mostly older adults (mean age: 66.1 years; median: 67). Mean survival was 527 [95% CI: 432-622] days, median 318 [95% CI: 236-400]. ALS bulbar subtype, MUAC and MAMC positively impacted PEG-feeding survival time (p < 0.05, Wald test). During the first three months of PEG feeding, each unit increase (cm) in MUAC and MAMC lowered death risk by 10% and 11%, respectively, highlighting the importance of nutrition care for survival. The bulbar subtype showed higher PEG feeding survival, with a 55.3% lower death hazard than the spinal subtype. There were no major PEG complications. Conclusions: ALS patients present a high risk of malnutrition. Patients that improved MAMC and MUAC in the first three PEG-fed months presented longer survival. Early PEG nutrition, even when some oral feeding is still possible, may reinforce the preventative role of enteral feeding in maintaining nutrition and potentially improving survival.

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Complications due to frailty and injury after falls are a significant problem for people living in residential aged care. This can lead to a range of negative outcomes including poor physical, social, and psychological well-being. The Australian Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety highlighted many aspects of care in residential aged care homes requiring improvement, leading to specific recommendations aimed at improving the outcomes in this area. This contributed to four recommendations calling for increased allied health interventions to meet the unmet needs in residential aged care. This intervention aims to implement and evaluate evidence-based allied health interventions for people living in residential aged care specifically relating to frailty, preventing falls, and maintaining engagement in everyday activities.

METHOD

This is a pragmatic, non-randomised, pre-post design study where six groups of up to 10 residents of an aged care home will start the intervention at staggered times. The EAHOP intervention is an integrated application of a suite of allied health services (occupational therapy, physiotherapy, dietetics, speech pathology, pharmacy, and optometry), with general practitioner involvement, using allied health assistants in an integrated transdisciplinary model of care. The baseline period is 6 weeks, and intervention is a maximum of 36 weeks with follow-up at 12 and 24 weeks. Primary outcomes measure changes in falls, frailty, and quality of life. A qualitative program evaluation will be completed as well as an economic analysis.

CONCLUSION

The results of the study will provide information about the clinical, implementation, and effectiveness outcomes of this integrated, transdisciplinary allied health service model for people living in residential aged care. The results will be used to develop evidence-informed guidelines for residential aged care providers on the delivery of allied health services.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women globally, and it negatively impacts diet and quality of life, increasing the risk of recurrence. Adhering to World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) lifestyle guidelines, such as healthy eating habits and nutritional status, can help in primary and secondary cancer prevention. However, no questionnaire was found for self-assessment of these guidelines for the Brazilian population. The aim of this study is to carry out content validity, pilot, and usability testing of the self-administered digital instrument "PrevCancer" assessing adherence to the WCRF/AICR recommendations in Brazilian female breast cancer survivors.

METHODS

We conducted a psychometric study that involved the development of an instrument based on WCRF/AICR recommendations. Assessment of content validity involved the Content Validity Index (CVI) based on expert assessments (n = 7). The pilot study involved the System Usability Scale (SUS) after applying the developed instrument (n = 65) and anthropometric assessment for convergent validity by female participants (n = 55). The final usability test consisted of evaluating the satisfaction with the instrument of women with breast cancer (n = 14).

RESULTS

The "PrevCancer" instrument demonstrated good content (CVI = 1.0) as well as good usability and acceptability in the pilot study (mean SUS score = 88.1). The convergent validity stage demonstrated positive associations between the PrevCancer parameters and anthropometric parameters (p < 0.001). In the final usability study (mean SUS score = 90.3), participants' receptivity to the instrument was excellent.

CONCLUSIONS

The PrevCancer instrument had valid content and great usability by the target population, proving to be a useful tool for future cancer research.

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Since the incidence of cancer increases with age, in older cancer patients important information may be missed without a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA). On the other side, CGA is a time-consuming and complex instrument, so that Geriatric 8 (G8) has been proposed as a more feasible screening tool to identify patients who could benefit from a CGA evaluation. G8 consists of 8 questions (patient age + 7 items derived from the Mini Nutritional Assessment questionnaire). A G8 score ≤ 14 is considered associated with frailty and risk of malnutrition. Another screening test is Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (Bioimpedentiometry, BIA), which enables to evaluate the nutritional status through a specific parameter known as Phase angle (PhA). This study is aimed at assessing the ability of G8 alone or in combination with PhA to detect elderly cancer patients at higher risk for malnutrition who cannot undergo immediate anticancer treatments.

METHODS

A total of 289 cancer patients (168 men and 121 women) aged ≥ 70 years old were enrolled and performed both G8 test, body mass index (BMI) and BIA assessments. A concurrent G8 score ≤ 14 and PhA < 5 defined subjects most exposed to the risk of malnutrition.

RESULTS

An association between BMI and G8 (p < 0.001, OR 1.54) and a clinically significant relationship between G8 and PhA (p = 0.013) were observed.

CONCLUSION

G8 can be used to identify patients at risk for malnutrition who would benefit from comprehensive CGA. The concurrent use of G8 and BIA presents a higher power in discriminating subjects at higher risk of malnutrition than a single test. This study suggests the need for routine assessment of nutritional status in cancer patients using combinations of methods, in order to implement strategies for individually-tailored care before starting any treatment.

Abstract

Background Fragility fractures caused by osteoporosis are known to increase the risk of further fragility fractures. Also, several factors have been associated with an increasing risk of fracture in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, as prior fracture, advancing age, low bone mineral density (BMD), greater risk or history of falls certain, pharmacologic therapies such as glucocorticoids, and medical conditions increase the risk of secondary osteoporosis and related fractures through their direct impact on bone density or structure. Menstrual history including age at menarche menopause and a history of amenorrhea is documented as a predicting osteoporotic fracture. Objective The aim of the current study is to find the proportion of hidden vertebral fractures among Egyptian females with fragility hip fracture. Patients and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients who presented to the orthopedic emergency room (ER) of Ain Shams University Hospitals in Cairo, Egypt, from September 2020 to September 2021. Our inclusion criteria include females aged 40 years or older, who presented to the ER with fragility hip fractures. A simple random sample of females fulfilling our inclusion criteria for osteoporotic hip fracture was thoroughly investigated. Conventional lateral and anteroposterior radiographs of the dorsolumbar spine were obtained excluding those with high-impact fractures or pathological fractures. Results During the study period, a total of 43,935 persons presented to the orthopedic ER, of whom 30,901 were females, comprising 70.03% of total orthopedic ER visits. A sample of 150 females met our inclusion criteria. Results showed that 16 of our 150 cases had concomitant vertebral fracture, meaning that 10.7% of cases had hidden vertebral fracture at the time of osteoporotic hip fracture, as diagnosed by the screening lumbosacral plain X-rays. Older age at menarche, younger age at menopause, and amenorrhea are shown to be risk factors for hidden vertebral fracture in Egyptian females. Conclusion Osteoporosis is a complex and costly disease. Osteoporotic fractures may be largely preventable, as environmental factors are open to intervention, and effective pharmacological agents are available. Concomitant hidden vertebral fracture is prevalent among females with osteoporotic hip fractures, and those who had later menarche, earlier menopause, and menstrual irregularities have a higher incidence of developing associated vertebral fracture, which warrants identification and management to evade complications and mortality.

Abstract

Background

Individuals with high body fat have a higher risk of mortality. Numerous anthropometric-based predictive equations are available for body composition assessments; furthermore, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) estimates are available. However, in older adults, the validity of body fat estimates requires further investigation.

Objective

To assess the agreement between percentage body fat (BF%) estimates by BIA and five predictive equations based on anthropometric characteristics using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as reference method. A secondary objective was to identify whether excluding short-stature women improves the agreement of BF% estimates in a group of community-dwelling, older Mexican women.

Methods

A concordance analysis of BF% was performed. A total of 121 older women participated in the study. Anthropometric information, BIA, and DXA body composition estimates were obtained. Five equations using anthropometric data were evaluated in order to determine body fat percentage (BF%) using DXA as reference method. Paired t-test comparisons and standard error of estimates (SEE) were obtained. The Bland-Altman plot with 95% limits of agreement and the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) were used to evaluate the BF% prediction equations and BIA estimates.

Results

The mean age of the study participants was 73.7 (±5.8) years old. BIA and the anthropometric based equations examined showed mean significant differences when tested in the entire sample. For the taller women (height > 145 cm), no significant difference in the paired comparison was found between DXA and BIA of BF% estimates. The mean BF% was 40.3 (±4.8) and 40.7 (±6.2) for DXA and BIA, respectively. The concordance between methods was good (CCC 0.814), (SEE 2.62). Also, in the taller women subset, the Woolcott equation using waist-to-height ratio presented no significant difference in the paired comparison; however, the error of the estimates was high (SEE 3.37) and the concordance was moderate (CCC 0.693).

Conclusion

This study found that BIA yielded good results in the estimation of BF% among women with heights over 145 cm. Also, in this group, the Woolcott predictive equation based on waist circumference and height ratio showed no significant differences compared to DXA in the paired comparison; however, the large error of estimates observed may limit its application. In older women, short stature may impact the validity of the body fat percentage estimates of anthropometric-based predictive equations.

Abstract

PURPOSE

Obesity is a chronic disease characterized by a complex variable clinical presentation with comorbidities. A multidisciplinary residential program (MRP) represents one of the best options for treating obesity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 8-week MRP on weight loss, body composition assessed by DXA, and metabolic blood parameters between entry (T0) and discharge (T1). The secondary endpoint was the evaluation of the patients' adherence to diet during the check-up outpatient visits, at 2 (T2), 6 (T3), and 12 (T4) months after discharge.

METHODS

168 subjects were enrolled (61 males and 117 females, aged 58.5 ± 13 years, BMI 41.3 ± 6 kg/m²) in the study. The difference in values (end of hospitalization compared to baseline) was calculated through the univariate analysis procedure, which provides regression analysis and analysis of variance for a variable dependent on one or more variables.

RESULTS

There was a statistically significant improvement of all parameters investigated: total mass (- 5.68 kg), fat mass (- 4416.85 g), fat mass index (- 1724.56), visceral adipose tissue (- 332.76 g), arm circumference (- 1.63 cm) and calf circumference (- 1.16 cm). As it is reasonable to expect, even the fat free mass has been reduced (- 1236.03 g); however, the skeletal muscle index was not affected. Statistically significant improvement in glycaemic and lipid profile were reported. The BMI average reduction continued from discharge until T4. No statistically significant changes in fat free mass and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) were reported during a year of follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS

The present study demonstrated the clinical benefits of 8-week MRP, which includes hypocaloric diet, physical exercise, and psychological support.

Abstract

Objectives

Understanding the occupational characteristics of patients is not only related to patients' life and health, but also conducive to improving their happiness. However, there were no studies that had been conducted on the relationship between occupation characteristic and postoperative recovery in patients with spinal fractures. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the occupation characteristics of patients with thoracolumbar fracture and the characteristics of disease injury, treatment, and recovery so as to reduce the incidence and improve postoperative rehabilitation.

Methods

Patients (n = 719) with thoracolumbar fractures were recruited. Patients were grouped according to the characteristic of occupations: unemployed group (n = 299), white‐collar worker group (n = 20), and blue‐collar worker group (n = 400). Data were collected, including the characteristics, injury and treatment information, and the recovery records for 1 year after operation. One‐way ANOVA analysis, χ² test, and binary logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relationship among these factors.

Results

Male, high‐falling injuries and single segment injury (mainly T 11, T 12 and L2) were common in patients with thoracolumbar fractures, especially in the blue‐collar worker group (70.8%, 78.3%, and 85.4%). Compared with the unemployed group, the patients in the white‐collar worker group and blue‐collar worker group had a higher proportion of young patients, a higher height and weight, a lesser rate of hypertension or diabetes. One week after injury, 73.4% of patients underwent surgery, with the blue‐collar worker group accounted for the largest proportion. One month after surgery, 77.1% of patients were able to get out of bed, with the white‐collar worker group accounted for the largest proportion. In the postoperative recovery information, patients in the blue‐collar worker group were more likely to have severe low back pain (OR = 2.023, 95% CI: 1.440‐2.284) and pain‐disturbed sleep (OR = 2.287, 95% CI: 1.585‐3.299) than those who in the unemployed group.

Conclusions

Blue‐collar workers, with a high risk of thoracolumbar fracture, have a higher incidence of low back leg pain and pain‐disturbed sleep in the recovery after thoracolumbar fracture surgery, and this requires more attention.
