ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between leptin and adiponectin gene polymorphisms, circulating levels of leptin and adiponectin, adiposity and clinical markers in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). This cross-sectional study was conducted with 102 adults and elderly MDS patients and 102 age- and sex-matched controls. Clinical characteristics, co-morbidities, anthropometric data, laboratory evaluation and genetic analysis (polymorphisms -2548G > A/rs7799039 of the LEP gene and +276G > T/rs1501299 of the ADIPOQ gene) were investigated. Serum leptin was higher and adiponectin lower in MDS when compared with controls. There was a significant positive correlation between serum leptin levels and BMI (r = 0·264, P = 0·025), waist circumference (r = 0·235, P = 0·047), body fat percentage (BF %) (r = 0·373, P = 0·001) and the fat mass index (FMI) (r = 0·371, P < 0·001). A lower mean adiponectin was found among patients with high BF %, higher visceral adiposity index and metabolic syndrome. A significant association was found between the AA genotype (mutant) of the LEP polymorphism rs7799039 and male sex and blast excess (≥ 5 %). In addition, a significant association was observed between the TT genotype (mutant) of the ADIPOQ rs1501299 polymorphism and Fe overload. These results demonstrate the importance of a comprehensive and systematic evaluation in patients with MDS in order to identify and control negative factors not related to the disease at an early stage.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Pacientes com câncer hematológico, candidatos a transplante de células-tronco hematopoiéticas (TCTH), requerem um autocuidado extenso, com tratamentos complexos e comportamentos de saúde adequados que são considerados fator-chave. Frente a essas complexidades, surge a importância do letramento em saúde. Objetivo: Descrever o nível de letramento e avaliar as inter-relações existentes entre letramento em saúde, estado nutricional, condições sociodemográficas e clínicas nos pacientes com câncer hematológicos e candidatos a TCTH em um hospital universitário terciário de Fortaleza-CE. Método: Estudo de caráter transversal realizado com 69 pacientes candidatos a TCHT, atendidos nesse hospital, que responderam à versão validada e traduzida do Newest Vital Sign (NVS-Br). Os dados clínicos e sociodemográficos foram coletados por meio da análise dos prontuários. O estado nutricional foi avaliado pelo índice de massa corporal (IMC), circunferência da cintura (CC) e CC associada à relação cintura-quadril (RCQ). Resultados: O letramento inadequado foi encontrado em 78,3% dos pacientes. Os fatores foram associados à idade (p=0,024), à baixa renda (p=0,005) e a menos anos de estudo (p=0,047). Conclusão: O estudo aponta para a necessidade de se melhorar o grau de letramento em saúde dos pacientes, a fim de obter melhores resultados no tratamento, principalmente naqueles que apresentam idade mais avançada, baixa renda e menor escolaridade


Introduction: Patients with hematologic cancer candidates for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) require extensive selfcare, with complex treatments and appropriate health behaviors that are considered a key factor. The importance of health literacy emerges because of these complexities. Objective: To describe the level of literacy and assess the interrelationships between health literacy, nutritional status, clinical and sociodemographic conditions in patients with hematologic cancer and candidates for HSCT in a tertiary university hospital in Fortaleza-CE. Method: Cross-sectional study conducted with 69 HSCT candidates, treated at a university hospital, who responded to the validated and translated version of the Newest Vital Sign (NVS-Br). Clinical and sociodemographic data were collected through the analysis of medical records. Nutritional status was assessed using body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and WC associated with hip circumference (WH). Results: Inadequate literacy was found in 78.3% of patients. Factors were associated with age (p=0.024), low income (p=0.005) and less years of education (p=0.047). Conclusion: The results indicated the necessity to improve the level of health literacy of patients for better treatment results, especially in older adults with low income and poor education level

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the nutritional risk factors in patients eligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHODS: A cross-sectional, descriptive study conducted with patients recruited from an hematology outpatient clinic. Study variables included demographic and clinical data, patient-generated global subjective assessment findings, anthropometric indicators, food intake and oxidative stress levels. The level of significance was set at 5% (p<0.05). RESULTS: The sample comprised 72 patients, mean age of 48.93 years (14.5%). Multiple myeloma was the most prevalent condition (51.4%) in this sample. Most patients (55.6%) were overweight according to body mass index and at risk of cardiovascular disease according to waist circumference, conicity index and percentage of body fat. Sarcopenia was associated with risk of cardiovascular disease, hip-to-waist ratio (p=0.021), muscle strength depletion (p<0.001), food intake (p=0.023), reduced functional capacity (p=0.048), self-reported well-nourished status; p=0.044) and inadequate vitamin B6 (p=0.022) and manganese (p=0.026) intake. Elevated oxidative stress, detected in 33.3% of patients in this sample, was not associated with sarcopenia. CONCLUSION: Most patients in this sample were overweight and sarcopenic. Lean mass depletion was associated with risk of cardiovascular disease, reduced muscle strength, food intake changes, reduced functional capacity, self-reported well-nourished status and inadequate intake of vitamin B6 and manganese, but not with oxidative stress.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Investigar a associação entre o estado nutricional e a qualidade de vida de pacientes dialíticos em lista de espera para Transplante Renal (TxR) de um centro de transplante em Fortaleza, Ceará. Métodos: Estudo caráter transversal analítico, realizado entre agosto a outubro de 2018, no qual foram avaliados o estado nutricional (EN) e a qualidade de vida (QV), utilizando a versão brasileira do questionário SF-36, em 52 pacientes de um centro de TxR de um hospital universitário da rede pública de saúde. Resultados: Observou-se que a maioria dos pacientes eram eutróficos de acordo com os parâmetros índice de massa corporal (59,6%), circunferência do braço (48,1%) e circunferência muscular do braço (75,0%); no entanto, de acordo com prega cutânea triciptal, 59,6% da amostra encontrava-se desnutrida. Com relação às dimensões de QV, verificou-se que os "Aspectos Físicos" e "Estado Geral de Saúde" tiveram os piores escores, mas apresentaram associação significativa com o sexo feminino (p=0,046) e com o IMC (p=0,010), respectivamente. Já a dimensão "Capacidade Funcional" apresentou associação significativa com a população masculina (p=0,045). Conclusão: Observou-se comprometimento em algumas das dimensões de QV, as quais sugeriram guardar relação com o sexo e o EN. Assim, ressalta-se a importância da realização periódica do diagnóstico nutricional e da avaliação da QV, visto que os pacientes renais dialíticos listados merecem atenção especial, pois apresentam diversas fragilidades físicas, sociais e emocionais, que podem comprometer aspectos importantes no EN e na QV durante o cuidado antes e após o TXR e impactar no tratamento da doença.

Objective: To investigate the association between nutritional status and quality of life in patients under hemodialysis from a kidney transplantation center in Fortaleza, Ceará waiting for kidney transplantation. Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study carried out from August to October 2018, in which the patients' nutritional status and quality of life were evaluated using the Brazilian version of the SF-36 questionnaire. A total of 52 patients from a kidney transplantation center belonging to a public university hospital participated. Results: It was observed that most patients were eutrophic according to the body mass index (59.6%), arm circumference (48.1%), and arm muscle circumference (75.0%) parameters; however, based on the tricipital skin-fold measurement, 59.6% of the sample was malnourished. Regarding the quality of life dimensions, the "physical role functioning" and "general health perceptions" had the worst scores, but a significant association with female gender (p = 0.046) and body mass index (p=0.010), respectively. The "physical functioning" dimension, on the other hand, was significantly associated with male gender (p=0.045). Conclusion: Compromise was observed in some quality of life dimensions, and the findings suggest a relationship between quality of life and sex and nutritional status. Patients under hemodialysis deserve special attention as they present several physical, social, and emotional weaknesses that can compromise important nutritional aspects and quality of life before and after transplantation, affecting the treatment of the disease. Thus, the importance of periodic nutritional diagnosis and quality of life assessment is emphasized. (AU)

ABSTRACT

The nutritional status of patients submitted to hematopoietic stem cell transplant is considered an independent risk factor, which may influence on quality of life and tolerance to the proposed treatment. The impairment of nutritional status during hematopoietic stem cell transplant occurs mainly due to the adverse effects resulting from conditioning to which the patient is subjected. Therefore, adequate nutritional evaluation and follow-up during hematopoietic stem cell transplant are essential. To emphasize the importance of nutritional status and body composition during treatment, as well as the main characteristics related to the nutritional assessment of the patient, the Brazilian Consensus on Nutrition in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant: Adults was prepared, aiming to standardize and update Nutritional Therapy in this area. Dietitians, nutrition physicians and hematologists from 15 Brazilian centers thar are references in hematopoietic stem cell transplant took part.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the oxidative profile, nutritional status and food intake (caloric value; macronutrients; vitamins A, E and C; and zinc), and to correlate oxidative stress with nutritional status in patients who were candidates for liver transplant. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional, analytical, and descriptive study with 51 candidates for liver transplant. Sociodemographic and clinical data, anthropometric parameters, food consumption, and a 10mL blood sample were collected from each patient. Oxidative stress was analyzed by the thiobarbituric acid method. The consumption of macronutrients, caloric value and micronutrients (zinc, vitamins A, E and C) were qualitatively analyzed, and zinc was also quantitatively analyzed. RESULTS: The mean age was 49.17±8.17 years. The highest percentage of malnutrition was according to arm muscle circumference (56.86%), followed by arm circumference (52.94%), triceps skin fold (50.98%), and body mass index (1.96%). The mean malondialdehyde level was 14.80±8.72µM/L, presenting a negative correlation with the body mass index for patients with liver cirrhosis according to IMC-Campillo values (p=0.001; r=-0.430). Low energy, carbohydrate, protein, vitamin A and E consumption were observed in more than 50% of subjects. CONCLUSION: This study showed an association of nutritional status through body mass index for patients with liver cirrhosis according to IMC-Campillo, with oxidative stress in patients with liver cirrhosis on a liver transplant waiting list.

RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar os fatores de riscos nutricionais em pacientes pré-transplante de célula-tronco hematopoiética. Métodos Estudo transversal, descritivo, realizado com pacientes de um ambulatório de hematologia. As variáveis estudadas foram demográficas, dados clínicos, avaliação subjetiva global produzida pelo próprio paciente, indicadores antropométricos, ingestão alimentar e estresse oxidativo. Os dados foram considerados estatisticamente significativos quando p<0,05. Resultados A amostra do estudo foi constituída por 72 pacientes, com média de idade de 48,93 (14,5%) anos e com mieloma múltiplo (51,4%) como a patologia mais prevalente. Conforme índice de massa corporal, 55,6% dos pacientes encontravam-se com excesso de peso. De acordo com a circunferência da cintura, índice de conicidade e percentual de gordura corporal, houve prevalência de risco para doença cardiovascular. A sarcopenia foi associada ao risco de doença cardiovascular pela relação cintura/quadril (p=0,021), depleção da força muscular (p<0,001), além da ingestão alimentar (p=0,023), da capacidade funcional reduzida (p=0,048) e do diagnóstico de "bem nutrido" (p=0,044), conforme a avaliação subjetiva global, e com consumo inadequado de vitamina B6 (p=0,022) e de manganês (p=0,026). Dentre os avaliados, 33,3% apresentaram estresse oxidativo elevado sem associação com sarcopenia. Conclusão Pacientes do pré-transplante se apresentam, em sua maioria, com excesso de peso, mas com sarcopenia, estando essa ausência de massa magra associada a risco de doença cardiovascular, depleção da força muscular, alteração da ingestão alimentar, redução da capacidade funcional, classificação de "bem nutrido", segundo a avaliação subjetiva global e consumo inadequado de vitamina B6 e manganês, não estando associada a estresse oxidativo.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: O ângulo de fase tem sido utilizado como parâmetro de avaliação nutricional em diversas condições clínicas, inclusive em pacientes oncológicos. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a prevalência de baixo ângulo de fase e a relação com o perfil clínico e nutricional em pacientes pré-transplante de células-tronco hematopoiéticas. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal realizado no período de maio a dezembro de 2018 em um hospital universitário no Nordeste brasileiro, envolvendo 80 pacientes admitidos para realização do transplante de células-tronco hematopoiéticas, com idade acima de 18 anos. O estado nutricional foi avaliado através de índice de massa corporal, circunferências, dobras cutâneas, força de preensão manual, índice de massa muscular esquelética. O ângulo de fase foi determinado por meio da bioimpedância elétrica, considerando baixo ângulo valor inferior a 5° para ambos os sexos. RESULTADOS: A média de idade foi de 47,5±15,2 anos e 51,2% eram do sexo masculino, sendo o transplante autólogo o de maior indicação (71,3%). Constatou-se que 8,8% dos pacientes apresentaram desnutrição pelo índice de massa corporal e 65% pela espessura de músculo adutor do polegar. Foi observada uma prevalência de 27,7% de baixo ângulo de fase. Houve associação significativa entre o baixo ângulo de fase e idade acima de 60 anos (p = 0,002), transplante autólogo (p = 0,04) e baixo índice de massa muscular esquelética (p = 0,01). DISCUSSÃO: Estudos mostram que o baixo ângulo de fase está associado ao risco nutricional ou desnutrição. Porém, ainda são necessários mais estudos na temática em pacientes com indicação ao transplante de células-tronco hematopoiéticas. CONCLUSÃO: O estudo revelou que houve prevalência considerável de pacientes com baixo ângulo de fase. Este indicador mostrou associação com índice de massa muscular esquelética


INTRODUCTION: The phase angle has been used as a nutritional assessment parameter in several clinical con ditions, including cancer patients. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of low phase angle and the relationship with the clinical and nutritional profile in pre-transplant for hematopoietic stem cell patients. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted from may to december 2018 at a universitary hospital in brazilian Northeast. Eighty patients admitted for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, aged above 18 years was evaluated. Nutritional status was assessed by body mass index, body circumferences, skinfolds, handgrip strength, skeletal muscle mass index. The phase angle was determined by bioelectrical impedance, considering low phase angle below 5 ° for both genders. RESULTS: The mean age was 47.5 ± 15.2 years and 51.2% were male, with autologous transplantation being the most indicated (71.3%). It was found that 8.8% of patients had malnutrition by body mass index and 65% by adductor pollicis muscle thickness. A prevalence of 27.7% of low phase angle was observed. There was a significant association between low phase angle and age over 60 years (p = 0.002), autologous transplantation (p = 0.04) and low skeletal muscle mass index (p = 0.01). DISCUSSION: Studies have shown that low phase angle is associated with nutritional risk or malnutrition. However, further studies on the subject are needed in patients with indication for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. CONCLUSION: In this study, there was a considerable prevalence of patients with low phase angle. This indicator was associated with skeletal muscle mass index

RESUMO O estado nutricional do paciente submetido ao transplante de células-tronco hematopoéticas é considerado fator de risco independente, podendo influenciar na qualidade de vida e na tolerância ao tratamento proposto. O comprometimento do estado nutricional durante o transplante de células-tronco hematopoéticas ocorre principalmente devido aos efeitos adversos decorrentes do condicionamento ao qual o paciente é submetido. Desta forma, a adequada avaliação nutricional e o acompanhamento durante o transplante de células-tronco hematopoéticas tornam-se imprescindíveis. Com o objetivo de salientar a importância do estado nutricional e da composição corporal durante o tratamento, bem como as principais características relacionadas à avaliação nutricional do paciente, o Consenso Brasileiro de Nutrição em Transplante de Células-Tronco Hematopoiéticas: Adulto foi elaborado visando uniformizar e atualizar a Terapia Nutricional nesta área. Com a participação de nutricionistas, nutrólogos e hematologistas de 15 centros brasileiros referências em transplante de células-tronco hematopoéticas

RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar o perfil oxidativo, o estado nutricional e o consumo alimentar (valor calórico; macronutrientes; vitaminas A, E e C; e zinco), e correlacionar o estresse oxidativo com o estado nutricional em pacientes candidatos ao transplante hepático. Métodos Trata-se de estudo transversal, analítico e descritivo com 51 pacientes candidatos ao transplante hepático. Coletaram-se dados sociodemográficos e clínicos, parâmetros antropométricos, consumo alimentar e amostra de 10mL de sangue de cada paciente. O estresse oxidativo foi analisado por método do ácido tiobarbitúrico. O consumo de macronutrientes, do valor calórico e dos micronutrientes (zinco, vitaminas A, E e C) foi analisado qualitativamente, e o zinco também foi analisado quantitativamente. Resultados A média de idade foi de 49,17±8,17 anos. Maior percentual de desnutrição esteve de acordo com circunferência muscular do braço (56,86%), seguida de circunferência do braço (52,94%), dobra cutânea triciptal (50,98%) e índice de massa corporal (1,96%). A média do malondialdeído foi de 14,80±8,72µM/L, apresentando correlação negativa com os valores do índice de massa corporal para pacientes com cirrose hepática segundo IMC-Campillo (p=0,001; r=-0,430). Observou-se baixo consumo de energia, carboidrato, proteína, e vitaminas A e E em mais de 50% dos indivíduos. Conclusão Este estudo mostrou associação do estado nutricional, por meio do índice de massa corporal para pacientes com cirrose hepática segundo IMC-Campillo, com o estresse oxidativo em paciente com cirrose hepática em lista de transplante de fígado.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O diagnóstico precoce do risco nutricional pode melhorar o prognóstico dos pacientes onco-hematológicos. Objetivo:Descrever o estado nutricional nos pacientes onco-hematológicos e avaliar os fatores associados ao risco nutricional nos pacientes onco-hematológicos de um hospital universitário terciário de Fortaleza - Ceará. Método: Estudo transversal que incluiu 127 pacientes adultos internados. Os dados de diagnóstico clínico e demográficos foram coletados por meio da análise de prontuários. O estado nutricional foi avaliado pelo índice de massa corporal (IMC), circunferência braquial (CB) e pela aplicação da ferramenta de triagem de risco nutricional - NRS-2002. Resultados: Pelos diferentes parâmetros, houve divergências no estado nutricional. A maioria da amostra apresentava risco nutricional de acordo com a avaliação da NRS-2002 (70,1%; n=89), seguida pela CB (33,9%; n=43) e pelo IMC (8,7%; n=11). Houve correlação positiva significativa entre IMC e idade [r=0,313, p<0,001] e CB [r=0,846, p<0,001], e associação significativa entre NRS-2002≥3 e IMC<18,5 kg/m² (p=0,023); NRS-2002 ≥3 e CB classificada como desnutrição (p=0,001); IMC<18,5kg/m² e CB classificada como desnutrição; e residir em zona urbana e apresentar CB adequada (p=0,023). Conclusão: Este estudo revelou alta prevalência de risco nutricional, bem como uma associação significativa entre risco nutricional e baixos valores de IMC e CB, e residir em zona rural. Assim, há a necessidade de utilizar uma combinação de indicadores, a fim de diagnosticar, de forma mais precisa e precoce, o estado nutricional desses pacientes.


Introduction: Early diagnosis of nutritional risk may improve the prognosis of oncohaematological patients. Objective: To describe the nutritional status and to evaluate the nutritional risk factors in oncohaematological patients of a tertiary university hospital in Fortaleza, Ceará. Method: This cross-sectional study included 127 patients hospitalized. Clinical and demographic diagnostic data were selected through chart analysis. The nutritional status was elaborated by body mass index (BMI), arm circumference (AC) and by the application of the nutritional risk screening (NRS-2002). Results:Due to the different parameters, there were differences in nutritional status. The majority of the presentation criteria were NRS-2002 70.1% (n=89), followed by the AC 33.9% (n=43) and the BMI 8.7% (n=11). There was a significant positive correlation between BMI and age [r=0.313, p<0.001] and AC [r=0.846, p<0.001]. There was a significant association between NRS-2002≥3 and BMI<18.5 kg/m² (p=0.023); NRS-2002≥3 and AC classified as malnutrition (p=0.001); BMI<18.5 kg/m² and AC classified as malnutrition; and reside in urban areas and present adequate AC (p=0.023). Conclusion: This study revealed a high prevalence of nutritional risk, as well as a significant association between nutritional risk and low BMI, AC and to reside in rural areas. Thus, there is a need to use a combination of indicators to diagnose the nutritional status of these patients in a more precise and early manner.


Introducción: El diagnóstico precoz del riesgo nutricional puede mejorar el pronóstico de los pacientes onco-hematológicos. Objetivo: Describir el estado nutricional en los pacientes onco-hematológicos y evaluar los factores asociados al riesgo nutricional en los pacientes onco-hematológicos de un Hospital Universitario Terciario de Fortaleza - Ceará. Método: Estudio transversal que incluyó a 127 pacientes adultos internados. Los datos de diagnóstico clínico y demográfico fueron recolectados a través de análisis de prontuarios. El estado nutricional fue evaluado por el índice de masa corporal (IMC), circunferencia braquial (CB) y por la aplicación de la herramienta de clasificación de riesgo nutricional - NRS-2002. Resultados: Diferentes parámetros, hubo divergencias en el estado nutricional. La mayoría de la muestra presentaba riesgo nutricional de acuerdo con la evaluación de la NRS-2002 70,1% (n=89), seguida por la CB 33,9% (n=43) y por IMC 8,7% (n=11). Se observó una correlación positiva significativa entre el IMC y la edad [r=0,313, p<0,001] y CB [r=0,846, p<0,001]. Se observó una asociación significativa NRS-2002≥3, e IMC<18,5 kg/m² (p=0,023) y CB desnutrida (p=0,001). Hubo asociación significativa entre IMC<18,5kg/m² y CB desnutrida (p=0,001), y entre residir en zona urbana y presentar CB adecuado (p=0,023). Conclusión: Alta prevalencia de riesgo nutricional, así como una asociación significativa entre riesgo nutricional y bajos valores de IMC y CB, y residir en zonas rurales. Hay la necesidad de utilizar una combinación de indicadores para diagnosticar de forma más precisa y precoz el estado nutricional de estos pacientes.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O estado nutricional e o tempo de jejum pré e pós-cirúrgico impactam na morbimortalidade de pacientes submetidos a cirurgias eletivas. No Brasil, o tempo de jejum prolongado e a elevada prevalência de desnutrição são comuns nos hospitais terciários. Objetivo: Realizar levantamento do tempo de jejum médio praticado em hospital terciário e avaliar o impacto do jejum pré e pós-cirúrgico e do estado nutricional nas complicações gastrointestinais imediatas e no tempo de hospitalização em pacientes cirúrgicos. Material e métodos: Estudo prospectivo, realizado no Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio, em Fortaleza. Foram avaliados 173 indivíduos submetidos a cirurgias eletivas de médio e grande porte entre agosto de 2016 a janeiro de 2017. Foram coletadas medidas antropométricas, hemograma e informações como tempo de jejum pré e pós-cirúrgico, permanência hospitalar e complicações gastrointestinais. As análises de correlação e associação foram realizadas no Software SPSS®, com nível de significância fixado em p< 0,05. Resultados: A maioria dos pacientes (71,1%) foi submetida à cirurgia de porte II (grande porte). Houve correlação negativa entre tempo de permanência hospitalar e índice de massa corporal [r= -0,223; p= 0,003], circunferência braquial [r= -0,335; p< 0,001], dobra cutânea tricipital [r= -0,320; p< 0,001], área muscular do braço corrigida [r= -0,253; p= 0,001], contagem total de linfócitos [r= -0,223; p= 0,008], hemoglobina [r= -0,243; p= 0,004] e relação linfócito/monócito [r= -0,308; p< 0,001]. Adicionalmente, houve correlação positiva entre tempo de permanência hospitalar com o tempo de jejum pós-cirúrgico [r= 0,456; p< 0,001]. Ausência de complicações gastrointestinais foi associada a valores de triagem (Nutritional Risk Screenin-2002) < 3 (p= 0,034) e entre menor tempo de jejum pós-cirúrgico (p= 0,033). Conclusão: Pacientes desnutridos, com maior risco nutricional e os que se submeteram a um tempo de jejum pós-cirúrgico elevado apresentaram maior tempo de permanência hospitalar e maior incidência de complicações gastrointestinais.


Introduction: The nutritional status and pre and postoperative fasting time impact the morbidity and mortality of patients undergo to elective surgeries. In Brazil, prolonged fasting time and high prevalence of malnutrition are common in tertiary hospitals. Objective: To evaluate the mean preoperative and postoperative fasting time and the impact of fasting, and nutritional status on gastrointestinal complications and on length of hospital stay in surgical patients. Material and methods: A prospective study, conducted at Walter Cantídio University Hospital, in Fortaleza. One hundred and seventy three surgery patients were evaluated between August 2016 and January 2017. The subjects were divided in two groups (medium and large size). Anthropometric measurements, blood count and information about pre and postoperative fasting time, hospital stay and gastrointestinal complications data were collected. Correlation and association test were performed by Software SPSS®. P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The majority of the patients (71,1%) were included in size II (large) surgery. There was a negative correlation between length of stay in hospital and body mass index [r= -0,223; p= 0,003], brachial circumference [r= -0,335; p<0,001], triceps skinfold thickness [r= -0,320; p<0,001], arm muscle area [r= -0,253; p= 0,001], total lymphocyte count [r= -0,223; p= 0,008], hemoglobin [r= -0,243; p= 0,004] and lymphocyte/monocyte ratio [r= -0,308; p<0,001]. In addition, there was a positive correlation between length of stay in hospital and postoperative fasting time [r= 0,456; p<0,001]. Absence of gastrointestinal complications was associated with Nutrition Risk Screening-2002 <3 (p= 0,034) and shorter post-operative fasting time (p= 0,033). Conclusion: Malnourished patients, higher nutritional risk and higher postoperative fasting time were associated to longer hospital stay and a higher incidence of gastrointestinal complications.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the prevalence of overweight and the use of conicity index for cardiovascular risk assessment in individuals submitted to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHODS: The sample comprised 91 patients of both sexes, who underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from September 2008 to December 2013, aged 18 years or over. To determine the nutritional profile, we collected anthropometric data on weight, height, waist circumference upon hospital admission. The body mass index and the conicity index were calculated. RESULTS: A total of 91 patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and other conditions were evaluated. The mean age was 43.5 (14.2) years, 63.7% were male. We verified that according to the body mass index, 63.7% were overweight and, according to waist circumference, 74.7% had a higher risk for cardiovascular diseases. According to the calculation of the conicity index, 92.3% of patients presented increased cardiovascular risk. Patients with multiple myeloma had a higher conicity index when compared to other patients (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: This study revealed a high prevalence of overweight and cardiovascular risk. It should be noted that the conicity index was a good method to evaluate cardiovascular risk and that new studies using this index should be performed.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a prevalência de excesso de peso e a utilização do índice de conicidade para a avaliação do risco cardiovascular em indivíduos submetidos ao transplante autólogo de células-tronco hematopoiéticas. Métodos A amostra foi composta por 91 pacientes, de ambos os sexos, submetidos ao transplante autólogo de células-tronco hematopoiéticas, de setembro de 2008 a dezembro de 2013, com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos. Para traçar o perfil nutricional, foram coletados dados antropométricos, como peso, altura e circunferência da cintura, na admissão hospitalar. Calcularam-se o índice de massa corporal e o índice de conicidade. Resultados Foram avaliados 91 pacientes, diagnosticados com mieloma múltiplo, linfoma de Hodgkin, linfoma não Hodgkin e outras patologias. A média de idade foi de 43,5 (14,2) anos, e 63,7% eram do sexo masculino. Verificou-se que, de acordo com o índice de massa corporal, 63,7% apresentavam excesso de peso e, segundo a circunferência da cintura, 74,7% possuíam maior risco para doenças cardiovasculares. De acordo com o cálculo do índice de conicidade, constatou-se que 92,3% dos pacientes apresentavam risco cardiovascular aumentado. Os pacientes com mieloma múltiplo apresentaram índice de conicidade mais elevado, se comparado aos outros pacientes (p<0,01). Conclusão Este estudo revelou alta prevalência de excesso de peso e de risco cardiovascular. Salienta-se que o índice de conicidade se mostrou um bom método para avaliação do risco cardiovascular e que novos estudos utilizando este índice devem ser realizados.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A desnutrição é comum em pacientes com neoplasias hematológicas. A avaliação do estado nutricional de pacientes oncológicos hospitalizados pode ser realizada através do cálculo do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), da aferição da Circunferência do Braço (CB), da Dobra Cutânea Tricipital (DCT) e o cálculo da Circunferência Muscular do Braço (CMB). A Espessura do Músculo Adutor do Polegar (EMAP) é uma ferramenta simples, não invasiva e de baixo custo para avaliação do conteúdo muscular corporal, porém não há muitos estudos quanto ao uso desta técnica de avaliação nutricional em pacientes onco-hematológicos. Objetivo: Determinar a sensibilidade da EMAP para avaliação nutricional de pacientes onco-hematológicos. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo transversal analítico, com avaliação de 133 pacientes onco-hematológicos atendidos em um Hospital Universitário no Nordeste do Brasil. Foram submetidos à avaliação nutricional através da aferição do peso, altura, IMC, CB, DCT, CMB e EMAP da mão dominante. Resultados: A média da espessura do músculo adutor do polegar foi de 11,9 ± 3,2 mm. Para desnutrição, a sensibilidade da EMAP foi de 87% para os pontos de cortes encontrados com a curva Receiver Operating Characteristic (12,8mm), e a especificidade foi de 56,3%. Encontrou-se correlação significativa (p <0,001) da EMAP com CB, CMB e IMC. Discussão: A EMAP apresentou alta sensibilidade no diagnóstico de desnutrição e especificidade de 56,3% proporcionando, assim, menor inadimplência no manejo nutricional, por detectar melhor os pacientes em risco nutricional do que aqueles saudáveis. Conclusão: A EMAP mostrou ser um método sensível na detecção de desnutrição em pacientes onco-hematológicos, podendo ser usada na prática clínica

Introduction: Malnutrition is common in patients with haematological malignancies. The assessment of the nutritional status of hospitalized oncology patients can be performed by calculating body mass index (BMI), measuring the circumference of the arm (CB), tricipital skinfold (DCT) and calculating arm circumference (CMB). The thickness of the Adductor Muscle of the Thumb (EMAP) is a simple, noninvasive and inexpensive tool for assessing body muscle contents, but there are not many studies about the use of this nutritional assessment technique in onco-hematological patients. Objective: To determine the sensitivity of EMAP for nutritional evaluation of onco-hematological patients. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional, analytical study with 133 onco-hematological patients attended at a University Hospital from Northeastern Brazil. They were submitted to nutritional assessment through the measurement of weight, height, BMI, CB, TDC, CMB and EMAP of the dominant hand. Results: The average thickness of the adductor muscle of the thumb was 11.9 ± 3.2 mm. For malnutrition, the EMAP sensitivity was 87% for the cut points found with the Receiver Operating Characteristic (12.8mm) curve, and the specificity was 56.3%. There was a significant correlation (p <0.001) of EMAP with CB, CMB and BMI. Discussion: EMAP presented a high sensitivity in the diagnosis of malnutrition and specificity of 56.3%, thus providing less delinquency in nutritional management, since it better detects patients at nutritional risk than healthy ones. Conclusion: EMAP has been shown to be a sensitive method for the detection of malnutrition in onco-hematological patients, and it can be used in clinical practice

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar o estado nutricional e a prevalência de adequação dos indicadores de qualidade em terapia nutricional (IQTNs) de pacientes hospitalizados na unidade de hematologia. Métodos: Estudo de caráter transversal, retrospectivo e descritivo, realizado no período fevereiro a maio de 2017, no qual foi avaliado o estado nutricional e os IQTNs (1- realização de triagem nutricional até 48 horas de internação, 2- medida de Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), 3- catabolismo proteico pela circunferência do braço) de 133 pacientes internados na unidade de hematologia do Hospital Universitário da rede pública de saúde em Fortaleza, por meio de informações contidas no banco de dados dos serviços de nutrição. Resultados: A amostra predominante era do sexo feminino (60,9%). A idade média geral foi em torno de 45±16,0 anos. Observou-se que a maioria dos pacientes avaliados foram classificados como eutróficos pelo IMC (41,6%) e circunferência do braço (43,6%); no entanto, de acordo com a triagem nutricional, a maioria dos pacientes internados encontrava- se em risco nutricional (55,3%). Com relação aos IQTNs, observou-se conformidade no indicador 1 e não conformidade nos indicadores 2 e 3. Conclusão: Conclui-se que a maioria dos pacientes eram eutróficos; no entanto, apresentavam risco nutricional. Além disso, O IMC foi o único indicador de qualidade que atingiu a meta proposta. Sendo assim, ressalta-se a importância da avaliação periódica dos outros IQTNs do serviço de nutrição, visto que os pacientes hematológicos merecem atenção especial por apresentarem elevado risco nutricional e necessitarem de cuidados rigorosos


Objective: To evaluate the nutritional status and the adequacy prevalence of quality indicators for nutrition therapy (QINTs) of hospitalized patients in the hematology unit. Methods: A cross-sectional, retrospective and descriptive study was carried out between February and May 2017, in which nutritional status and QINTs were evaluated (1- nutritional screening up to 48 hours of hospitalization, 2- body mass index (BMI), 3- protein catabolism by arm circumference) of 133 patients hospitalized at the University Hospital of the public health service in Fortaleza, through information contained in the database of the nutrition services. Results: The predominant sample was female (60.9%). Overall mean age was around 45 ± 16.0 years. It was observed that the majority of the evaluated patients were classified as eutrophic based on BMI (41.6%) and arm circumference (43.6%); however, according to nutritional screening, most hospitalized patients were at nutritional risk (55.3%). With regard to QINTs, compliance with indicator 1 and nonconformity in indicators 2 and 3 were observed. Conclusions: It is concluded that the majority of patients were eutrophic; however, presented nutritional risk. The BMI was the only quality indicator that met the proposed goal. Therefore, the importance of periodic evaluation of other indicators of quality of nutrition service is emphasized, since hematological patients deserve special attention because they present high nutritional risk and require rigorous care
