Validity of the SARC-F questionnaire in assessing sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the validity of the 5-component SARC-F questionnaire for screening sarcopenia among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods

Eligible participants were enrolled from the Department of Nephrology, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from March 2019 to November 2019. Evaluations were performed using the self-administered SARC-F questionnaire. Sarcopenia was diagnosed by grip strength, the chair stand test and appendicular skeletal muscle mass. The severity of sarcopenia was evaluated by gait speed. We calculated the sensitivity and specificity of the SARC-F to evaluate construct validity. Moreover, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to identify the cutoff value for nondialysis-depen
