Sarcopenia in cirrhosis: Unraveling the prevalence and relationships with liver disease severity and complications.
Background and objectives: Sarcopenia in cirrhosis is associated with poor survival and adverse pre and post-transplant outcomes. The study aimed at determining the prevalence of sarcopenia and its association with the severity, complications and etiology of liver disease.
Methods: As many as 416 cirrhotic patients who met the inclusion criteria underwent muscle strength testing using a dynamometer. As many as 109 probable sarcopenia patients underwent computed tomography (CT) scan to measure skeletal muscle index (SMI) at the L3 vertebral level and gait-speed testing. The gender-specific cut-offs used to define sarcopenia were an SMI of 36.54 cm2/m2 in males and 30.21 cm2/m2 in females. A gait speed ≤ 0.8 m/s was taken as a cut-off to define severe sarcopenia in both genders.
Results: The mean age was 54.7 ± 9.51 years and male:female ratio was 2.2:1.The mean body mass index (BMI) was 24.2 ± 1.34 kg/m2. Alcohol and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) were the two most common etiologies (45.9% and 31.2%). The proportion of patients belonging to Child-Pugh class A, B and C was 26.6%, 48.6% and 24.8%, respectively. Forty out of 109 (36.7%) patients had a model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) > 14. Ascites, upper gastrointestinal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy (HE) were present in 59 (54.1%), 60 (55.0%) and 24 (22.0%) patients, respectively. The prevalence of probable sarcopenia, sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia was found to be 26.20%, 10.09% and 6.73%, respectively. Sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia were associated with Child-Pugh class (p < 0.001, p < 0.001), MELD (p = 0.007, 0.002), upper gastrointestinal bleed (p = 0.007, 0.004), ascites (p = 0.038, 0.025) and HE (0.001, < 0.001).
Conclusion: The prevalence of sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia was found to be 10.09% and 6.73%, respectively. Sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia had a significant association with the severity and complications of cirrhosis. However, no association was observed with etiology of liver disease.

The Indian Journal of Gastroenterology aims to help doctors everywhere practise better medicine and to influence the debate on gastroenterology. To achieve these aims, we publish original scientific studies, state-of -the-art special articles, reports and papers commenting on the clinical, scientific and public health factors affecting aspects of gastroenterology. We shall be delighted to receive articles for publication in all of these categories and letters commenting on the contents of the Journal or on issues of interest to our readers.
