The role of sarcopenia questionnaires in hospitalized patients with chronic heart failure.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare the diagnostic value of the SARC-F, MRSA-7 and MRSA-5 questionnaires in screening for sarcopenia in inpatients with chronic heart failure (CHF).

Patients

A total of 355 CHF patients hospitalized from January 2019 to August 2019 who met the study's selection criteria were included in the analysis.

Measurements

Handgrip strength and gait speed were measured, and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was used to estimate appendicular skeletal muscle mass. The sensitivity/specificity of the SARC-F, MRSA-7 and MRSA-5 questionnaires was evaluated.

Results

The diagnostic criteria of the Asia Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) were used as the gold standard for diagnosing sarcopenia. The prevalence of sarcopenia was 55.8% according to the AWGS d
