Abstract
Background: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a complex procedure with significant postoperative morbidity. Associated sarcopenia could be a potential risk for increased post-operative complications.
Methods: Patients who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy bet-ween July 2019 to December 2020 were included in the study. Preope-rative comprehensive sarcopenia assessment was done by hand grip strength test, Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan and gait speed test. Only myopenia was also assessed by DEXA scan in all the patients. Post-operative outcomes were recorded and the association of preoperative sarcopenia with postoperative complications were analyzed.
Results: Of 47 patients assessed, 36 patients were finally included (Median age -58 years (IQR-51,68) years, 26 male). The five (13.8%) had sarcopenia confirmed on comprehensive assessment. Thirteen (36.5%) patients had myopenia on DEXA assessment. The major Clavien-Dindo complications were significantly higher in sarcopenia (40% vs 6.6%, P=0.04) and similarly, grade C DGE (40% vs 0, P=0.04) was also more frequent in patients with sarcopenia. The patients with myopenia only did not have a significant correlation with post-operative complications. (15.4% vs 8.7% P=0.66).
Conclusion: Comprehensive assessment using muscle strength and muscle quantity is essential for sarcopenia diagnosis. Preoperative sarcopenia is a significant risk factor for post-operative complications.
背景:胰十二指肠切除术(PD)是一项复杂的手术,术后发病率高。相关的肌肉减少症可能是增加术后并发症的潜在风险。方法:将2019年7月至2020年12月期间行胰十二指肠切除术的患者纳入研究。术前通过手握力测试、双能x线吸收仪(DEXA)扫描和步态速度测试进行综合肌减少症评估。在所有患者中,DEXA扫描也只评估了肌萎缩。记录术后结果,分析术前肌肉减少与术后并发症的关系。结果:在评估的47例患者中,最终纳入36例患者(中位年龄-58岁(iqr -51,68)岁,男性26例)。5例(13.8%)经综合评价确诊为肌肉减少症。13例(36.5%)患者在DEXA评估中出现肌力低下。主要Clavien-Dindo并发症在肌肉减少症患者中明显更高(40% vs 6.6%, P=0.04),同样,C级DGE (40% vs 0, P=0.04)在肌肉减少症患者中也更常见。单纯肌萎缩患者与术后并发症无显著相关性。(15.4% vs 8.7% P=0.66)。结论:肌力、肌量综合评价是诊断肌少症的必要指标。术前肌肉减少症是术后并发症的重要危险因素。
