| Abstract | Background One of the most prevalent respiratory disorders in modern society is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Frequent comorbidities in patients with COPD are abnormal nutritional status and body composition variations. Malnutrition-sarcopenia syndrome, which occurs when the 2 conditions – malnutrition and sarcopenia – coexist, raises the risk of death more than either condition alone. The current study sought to determine the prevalence of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and malnutrition-sarcopenia syndrome in patients with COPD as well as the association between these diseases and the severity of COPD. Methods The study was an analytical cross-sectional study conducted on hospitalized patients with COPD. The sample size of the study was calculated to be 160. A self-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data, containing sociodemographic characteristics, clinical profiles, anthropometric assessment, and bioimpedance indices. Sarcopenia was diagnosed with low muscle strength and muscle mass by the EWGSOP2 recommendations. Muscle mass is measured by BIA and muscle strength (Handgrip) was measured by a Hand Dynamometer. Assessment of the risk of malnutrition was performed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form questionnaire and was confirmed by GLIM criteria. The COPD assessment test (CAT) tool determined the severity of the condition. For the data analysis, comparisons were made using Student’s t test and Mann–Whitney test in bivariate analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed considering the outcomes of patients with COPD by CAT scores, prolonged length of stay, and hospital readmission 6 months after discharge. Results The mean age of the participants was 48 ± 5 years. Approximately 61.9% were found to be sarcopenic. Approximately 45.6% of participants had malnutrition. Malnutrition sarcopenia syndrome was diagnosed in 32.5% of patients. The study analysis revealed that patients with COPD with malnutrition-sarcopenia syndrome had more than twice the odds of prolonged hospital stay, re-admission within 6 months, and higher CAT scores. Conclusion The study revealed a high prevalence of sarcopenia, malnutrition, and malnutrition sarcopenia syndrome in patients with COPD. These conditions were found to be statistically significant with prolonged length of stay, re-admission within 6 months, and CAT scores. The findings highlight the importance of addressing these conditions as part of the management of the patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
