Cachexia defined by the Asian Working Group for Cachexia 2023 criteria as a determinant of functional recovery in post-stroke patients capable of oral intake
Background and aims
Cachexia is a common condition in stroke patients, yet its prevalence and impact on functional outcomes based on the Asian Working Group for Cachexia (AWGC) 2023 criteria remain unclear. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of cachexia and examine its association with functional prognosis in post-acute stroke patients capable of oral intake.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study included 856 post-stroke patients (mean (SD) age: 78 (7) years; 52 % men) admitted to a Japanese rehabilitation hospital between 2015 and 2023. Cachexia was diagnosed at admission using the AWGC 2023 criteria. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM)-motor score at discharge and FIM-motor gain. The association between cachexia and functional outcomes was analyzed using multiple linear regression, adjusting for age, sex, stroke type, baseline FIM-motor and FIM-cognitive scores, and other confounders.
Results
Cachexia was diagnosed in 20 % (172/856) of patients. The mean (SD) length of hospital stay was 85 (44) days. Stroke types were cerebral infarction (n = 634, 74 %), cerebral hemorrhage (n = 188, 22 %), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (n = 34, 4 %). The most common underlying diseases were cancer (n = 120, 14 %), chronic heart failure (n = 52, 6 %), and chronic kidney disease (n = 26, 3 %). After adjusting for confounders, cachexia remained independently associated with lower FIM-motor at discharge (β=-0.092, P = 0.009) and lower FIM-motor gain (β=-0.079, P = 0.024).
Conclusion
Cachexia, as defined by the AWGC 2023 criteria, was prevalent in post-stroke patients and negatively impacted functional recovery. Early identification and targeted interventions may be essential for improving rehabilitation outcomes and quality of life.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics provides a medium for the publication of papers from the fields of experimental gerontology and clinical and social geriatrics. The principal aim of the journal is to facilitate the exchange of information between specialists in these three fields of gerontological research. Experimental papers dealing with the basic mechanisms of aging at molecular, cellular, tissue or organ levels will be published.
Clinical papers will be accepted if they provide sufficiently new information or are of fundamental importance for the knowledge of human aging. Purely descriptive clinical papers will be accepted only if the results permit further interpretation. Papers dealing with anti-aging pharmacological preparations in humans are welcome. Papers on the social aspects of geriatrics will be accepted if they are of general interest regarding the epidemiology of aging and the efficiency and working methods of the social organizations for the health care of the elderly.
