The correlation between sarcopenia and hospital-related infections in elderly patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Objective To understand the incidence of sarcopenia and hospital-related infections in elderly patients with cardi-ovascular and cerebrovascular diseases,and explore their correlations.Methods A total of 556 elderly patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were randomly selected.Their sarcopenia was screened and diagnosed by using criterion of 2019 Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia(AWGS).Hospital-related infection data were collected from the medical records.Correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of hospital-related infection.Results The positive rates of screening sarcopenia were 28.78％,suspicious sarcopenia was 26.08％,sarcopenia was 15.65％and severe sarcopenia was 3.78％.There were statistically significant differences in the positive rates of screening sarcopenia,suspicious sarcopenia,and sarcopenia among patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of different genders and comorbidities(P＜0.05).A total of 205 cases of hospital-related infections occurred.The incidence rate was 36.87％.The incidence of hospital-related infections were significantly different among patients of different ages and comorbidities(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that age,sarcopenia and comorbidity of diabetes mellitus were risk factors for hospital-related infection(P＜0.05).Correlation analysis found there was a certain correlation between hospital-related infections and sarcopenia(r=0.337).Conclusions The incidence of sarcopenia and hospital-related infection is high among elderly patients with cardiovascular cerebrovascular disease.Hospital-related infection may be related to age,sarcopenia and diabetes mellitus.
