Background/Objectives: Sarcopenia and frailty are both multidimensional and interrelated problems for patients with cirrhosis and require prompt assessment and appropriate management because of their impact on disease outcomes. Our purpose is to identify the prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty in patients with advanced liver disease. Furtherksdnvk more, our purpose is to explore the association between sarcopenia, frailty, and various complications and the impact of these conditions on short- and long-term hospital survival rates. Methods: A prospective, observational, unicentric study was conducted in an emergency university hospital in Romania between January 2021 and December 2023 that included patients with advanced liver diseases. The patients with sarcopenia and frailty were selected using measurements of handgrip strength (HGS), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), liver frailty index (LFI), and skeletal muscle index (SMI). Patients were divided into four groups based on the presence of sarcopenia and/or frailty. Results: This study included 128 patients. Younger patients associated with both sarcopenia and frailty (55.76 ± 10.46 years). Most males were without sarcopenia and frailty (63.93%) compared to those with both sarcopenia and frailty (36.07%). The Child–Pugh score C was identified in the majority of those with both sarcopenia and frailty (69.70%). Higher values for MELD-Na scores were obtained in the group with sarcopenia and frailty (25.45 ± 6.924). Biomarkers like albumin, sodium, C-reactive protein, bilirubin, and platelets were statistically significant as mortality predictors in all four groups. Patients with both sarcopenia and frailty presented more often with encephalopathy and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Survival rates in the short and long term were lower for the patients who associated both sarcopenia and frailty compared to those without sarcopenia and frailty. Conclusions: The presence of sarcopenia and frailty significantly impacts outcomes in patients with decompensated advanced liver disease. When both conditions coexist in the same patient, they markedly increase in-hospital mortality, as well as short- and long-term survival rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
