An observational study in Cirrhosis, Sarcopenia and Malnutrition, sponsored by University of Sao Paulo. Completed at 1 site in Brazil. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-04-27.
Sponsored by University of Sao Paulo · Observational
The study evaluates whether sarcopenia influences the prevalence of abdominal hernias in patients with cirrhosis.
Sarcopenia is a common condition in patients with cirrhosis, with a prevalence of around 50%. It is unknown if the presence of sarcopenia may influence the prevalence of abdominal hernias in this group of patients. Clinical, nutritional and radiological evaluation will be performed in two groups of cirrhotic patients to evaluate this hypothesis.
1,329 studies on the registry are indexed under Sarcopenia; 420 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 140 is above the median of 120 across 455 observational studies indexed under Sarcopenia.

This group consists of cirrhotic patients with any abdominal hernia

This group consists of cirrhotic patients without any hernias

The results of the CT scan and the hand-grip test will be used for diagnosis of sarcopenia. The Royal Free Hospital-Global Assessment (RFH-GA) results will classify the nutritional status of the patient.
