RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To describe patients hospitalized in internal medicine in terms of malnutrition and sarcopenia, depending on the presence or absence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), as well as to evaluate short- and long-term mortality related to both. METHODS: Cross-sectional, single-center study, which included consecutive patients admitted to internal medicine in May and October 2021. Malnutrition was determined using the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) and sarcopenia using SARC-F and handgrip strength. Patients hospitalized for more than 48â¯h are excluded. RESULTS: 511 patients were analyzed, 49.1% male, mean age 75.2 +/- 15 years, 210 (41.1%) DM2. 6 groups (2â¯×â¯3 design) are generated based on the presence of DM2 and the nutritional status according to the result of the MNA-SF: 12-14 points, without risk; MNA-SF 8-12 points, high risk; MNA-SF 0-7 points, malnourished. Malnourished patients with DM2 had significantly higher sarcopenia, comorbidity, inflammation, and pressure ulcers. The main determinants of in-hospital mortality were sarcopenia (OR 1.27, 95%CI 1.06-1.54, pâ¯=â¯0.01), comorbidity (OR 1.27, 95%CI 1,08-1,49, pâ¯=â¯0.003) and inflammation (OR 1.01, 95%CI 1.00-1.02, pâ¯=â¯0.02). The 120-day prognosis was worse among malnourished patients (pâ¯=â¯0.042). CONCLUSION: Patients admitted with DM2 have a similar degree of malnutrition than the rest, but with greater sarcopenia. This sarcopenia, together with inflammation and comorbidity determine a worse prognosis. The active and early identification of malnutrition and sarcopenia and their subsequent approach could improve the prognosis of patients.

OBJECTIVES: Evaluation of quality of care for patients with diabetes mellitus admitted to hospitals in Spain. METHODS: Cross-sectional study in one day that included 1193 (26.7%) patients with type 2 diabetes or hyperglycaemia out of a total of 4468 patients admitted to the internal medicine departments of 53 hospitals in Spain. We collected demographic data, adequacy of capillary glycaemic monitoring, treatment administered during admission, and recommended therapy at discharge. RESULTS: The median age of the patients was 80 years [74-87], of which 561 (47%) were women, with a Charlson index of 4 points [2-6], and 742 (65%) were fragile. Median blood glucose on admission was 155 mg/dl [119-213]. On the third day, the number of capillary blood glucose levels in target (80-180 mg/dl) at pre-breakfast was 792/1126 (70.3%), pre-lunch 601/1083 (55.4%), pre-dinner 591/1073 (55.0%), and at night 317/529 (59.9%). A total of 35 patients (0.9%) were suffering from hypoglycemia. Treatment during hospitalization was performed with sliding scale insulin in 352 (40.5%) patients, with basal insulin and rapid insulin analogues in 434 (50%), or with diet exclusively in 101 (9.1%). A total of 735 (61.6%) patients had a recent HbA1c value. At discharge, the use of SGLT2i increased significantly (30.1% vs. 21.6%; p < 0.001), as did the use of basal insulin (25.3% vs. 10.1%; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: There is an excessive use of sliding scale insulin as well as insufficient information on HbA1c values and prescription upon discharge of treatments with cardiovascular benefit.

Objetivos Evaluación de la calidad de la asistencia a los pacientes con diabetes mellitus ingresados en España. Métodos Estudio transversal que incluyó a 1.193 (26,7%) pacientes con diabetes tipo 2 o hiperglucemia de un total de 4.468 pacientes ingresados en los servicios de medicina interna de 53 hospitales (España). Se recogieron datos demográficos, adecuación de la monitorización de la glucemia capilar, tratamiento administrado durante el ingreso y terapia recomendada al alta. Resultados La edad mediana fue de 80 años (74-87), 561 (47%) pacientes eran mujeres, con un índice de Charlson de 4 (2-6) puntos, siendo clasificados frágiles 742 (65%). La mediana de glucemia al ingreso fue de 155 (119-213) mg/dL. Al tercer día de ingreso el número de glucemias capilares en objetivo (80-180mg/dL) fue de 792/1.126 (70,3%) en el predesayuno, 601/1.083 (55,4%) en la precomida, 591/1.073 (55,0%) en la precena y 317/529 (59,9%) durante la noche. Se observó hipoglucemia en 35 (0,9%) pacientes. El tratamiento durante el ingreso fue realizado con insulina en escala móvil en 352 (40,5%) pacientes, insulina basal y análogos de insulina rápida en 434 (50%) y dieta exclusivamente en 101 (9,1%). Un total de 735 (61,6%) pacientes disponían de un valor reciente de HbA1c. En el alta se incrementó el uso de iSGLT2 (30,1 vs. 21,6%; p<0,001) y el uso de insulina basal (25,3 vs. 10,1%; p<0,001). Conclusiones Existe un excesivo uso de insulina en escala móvil, una deficiente información de los valores de HbA1c y una prescripción aún deficiente de tratamientos con beneficio cardiovascular al alta (AU)

Objetivo Describir los pacientes hospitalizados en medicina interna en términos de desnutrición y sarcopenia, en función de la presencia o no de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2), así como evaluar la mortalidad a corto y largo plazo relacionada con ambas. Métodos Estudio de cohortes, unicéntrico, que recoge pacientes consecutivos ingresados en Medicina Interna en mayo y octubre del 2021. La desnutrición se determinó mediante el Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) y la sarcopenia mediante SARC-F y dinamometría. Se excluyó a los pacientes hospitalizados más de 48 h. Resultados Se analiza a 511 pacientes, 49,1% varones, edad media de 75,2±15 años, 210 (41,1%) DM2. Se generan 6 grupos (diseño 2 × 3) en función de la presencia de DM2 y del estado nutricional acorde con el resultado del MNA-SF: 12-14 puntos, sin riesgo; MNA-SF 8-12 puntos, alto riesgo; MNA-SF 0-7 puntos, desnutridos. Los pacientes con DM2 y desnutridos tenían significativamente mayor sarcopenia, comorbilidad, inflamación y úlceras por presión. Los principales determinantes de mortalidad intrahospitalaria fueron la sarcopenia (OR 1,27, IC del 95%, 1,06-1,54, p=0,01), la comorbilidad (OR 1,27, IC del 95%, 1,08-1,49, p=0,003) y la inflamación (OR 1,01, IC del 95%, 1,00-1,02, p=0,02). El pronóstico a 120 días fue peor entre los pacientes desnutridos (p=0,042). Conclusión Los pacientes ingresados con DM2 presentan similar grado de desnutrición que el resto, pero con mayor sarcopenia. Esta sarcopenia, junto a la inflamación y la comorbilidad determinan un peor pronóstico. La identificación activa y temprana de la desnutrición y la sarcopenia, y su abordaje posterior podrían mejorar el pronóstico de los pacientes (AU)
