Abstract
Background
Sarcopenia is an aging-related condition characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass and is an indicator of subclinical atherosclerosis. The relationship between reduced muscle mass and long-term clinical outcomes in patients with advanced coronary artery disease who have undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is not fully understood. This study is sought to evaluate the prognostic implications of sarcopenia screening in patients undergoing CABG.
Methods
A total of 2810 patients who underwent CABG were analysed and classified according to presence of reduced muscle mass. The skeletal muscle index (SMI) was calculated as L3 muscle area (cm2)/height (m)2 on computed tomography. Reduced SMI was defined as SMI ≤ 45 cm2/m2 in male and ≤ 38 cm2/m2 in female. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, and survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan–Meier method and compared with the log-rank test.
Results
The median follow-up was 8.7 years, and 924 patients (32.9%) had reduced SMI. Patients with reduced SMI were older (67.7 ± 8.8 vs. 62.2 ± 9.8 years; p < 0.001) and less frequently male (69.8% vs. 81.1%; p < 0.001). SMI was significantly associated with risk of death on a restricted cubic spline curve (HR = 1.04 per-1 decrease; 95% CI 1.03–1.05; p < 0.001). Patients with reduced SMI had a higher incidence of long-term mortality than those with preserved SMI (survival rate 41.4% vs. 62.8%; HRadj = 1.18, 95% CI 1.03–1.36, p = 0.020). Subgroup analysis showed that the prognostic implication of reduced SMI on long-term survival was more evident in male (HRadj = 2.01, 95% CI 1.72–2.35) than female (HRadj = 1.28, 95% CI 0.98–1.68) (interaction p = 0.006).
Conclusions
Reduced muscle mass, defined by SMI on computed tomography, was associated with long-term mortality after CABG. These results provide contemporary data to allow the evaluation of physical frailty in patients with advanced coronary artery disease before surgery.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle is a peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to publishing materials related to cachexia and sarcopenia, as well as body composition and its physiological and pathophysiological changes across the lifespan and in response to various illnesses from all fields of life sciences. The journal aims to provide a reliable resource for professionals interested in related research or involved in the clinical care of affected patients, such as those suffering from AIDS, cancer, chronic heart failure, chronic lung disease, liver cirrhosis, chronic kidney failure, rheumatoid arthritis, or sepsis.
