RESUMEN
Objetivo: Existe escasa bibliografía relacionada con el estado nutricional de pacientes diagnosticados de isquemia crónica de extremidades inferiores (IC-EEII). Determinamos algunos déficits nutricionales presentes en los pacientes con IC-EEII de nuestro centro. Material y métodos: En pacientes diagnosticados de IC-EEII en 2007-2009 (n = 624), registramos concentraciones plasmáticas de albumina, hierro, vitamina B12, acido fólico, hemoglobina, leucocitos, colesterol total y triglicéridos. Comparamos estos parámetros en función de la severidad de la IC-EEII (claudicantes versus pacientes con isquemia critica [PIC]), el sexo y la edad. Análisis transversal, descriptivo, utilizando Chi-cuadrado y <ABSTRACT
Introduction: There are very little data on the nutritional status of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). We assessed some nutritional parameters in our PAD patients. Methods: We retrospectively analysed some nutritional parameters of all patients with PAD diagnosed or followed-up in our centre in 2007-2009 (n = 624). We evaluated serum concentrations of: albumin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, iron, vitamin B12, folic acid, haemoglobin and leucocytes. We compared the parameters according to the severity of the PAD (claudication versus critical ischaemia), gender and age, using square-chi and T-test. Results: The series included 530 (84.9%) males and 94 (15.1%) females, mean (SD) age 68 (11) (40-94) years, 420 (67.3%) claudicants, and 204 (32.7%) critically ischaemic patients (CIP). The prevalence of hypoalbuminaemia, iron deficiency and anaemia was 0.7% (n = 3), 6.7% (n = 28) and 9.8% (n = 41) among claudicants, and 18.1% (n = 37), 31.9% (n = 65) and 49.5% (n = 101) among CIP (P < .0001 for all three). Deficiency of vitamin B12 and folic acid were found in 6.7% (n = 28) and 2.9% (n = 12) of claudicants and 15.7% (n = 32) and 6.4% (n = 13) of CIP (P = .002 and P=.018, respectively). Total cholesterol menor/igual 200 mg/dL was more common among CIP (85.3% versus 60.7%; P<.0001), with equal statin intake (43.6% for each group). Deficiency of at least one nutritional parameter was found in 22.4% (n = 94) claudicants in contrast to 71.6% (n = 146) CIP (P<.0001). There were few differences between men and women in both groups, but age increased the prevalence of nutritional deficits, especially lipid concentrations among claudicants, and anaemia in CIP (P < .05)(AU)
