Impact of Sarcopenia in Elderly Patients Undergoing Elective Total Hip Arthroplasty on Postoperative Outcomes: a Propensity Score-Matched Study
BMC Anesthesiology(2024)
摘要
Frailty poses a crucial risk for postoperative complications in the elderly, with sarcopenia being a key component. The impact of sarcopenia on postoperative outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is still unclear. This study investigated the potential link between sarcopenia and postoperative outcomes among elderly THA patients. Totally 198 older patients were enrolled in this study. Sarcopenia in this group was determined by assessing the skeletal muscle index, which was measured using computed tomography at the 12th thoracic vertebra and analyzed semi-automatically with MATLAB R2020a. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to evaluate postoperative complications of grade II and above (POCIIs). The variables balanced using PSM contained age, sex and comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and COPD. Before PSM, sarcopenic patients with reduced BMI (24.02 ± 0.24 vs. 27.11 ± 0.66, P < 0.001) showed higher POCIIs rates (48.31
