Preoperative bioelectrical impedance, measured phase angle, and hand-grip strength as predictors of postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative problems are a major danger for patients after heart surgery. Predicting postoperative outcomes for cardiac surgery is limited by current preoperative evaluations. Handgrip strength (HGS) testing and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) may provide extra ways to identify individuals at risk of surgical problems, enhancing risk assessment and results.

Objective

The purpose of this systematic review is to assess the utility of measured phase angle (PA), HGS, and bioelectrical impedance as perioperative risk markers in adult patients undergoing elective heart surgery.

Method

The PRISMA principles were followed in this review. We searched all available electronic databases, including the Science Direct search engine and PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE,
