概要 PURPOSE:To investigate whether two factors, malnutrition and cachexia, affect swallowing function, activities of daily living (ADL), and death in sarcopenic dysphagia.METHODS:Of 467 patients enrolled in the Japanese Sarcopenic Dysphagia Database, 271 met the study eligibility criteria in a retrospective cohort study. Patients were divided into four groups based on whether they had cachexia according to the Asian Working Group for Cachexia (AWGC) criteria and malnutrition according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria. Multivariate analyses were performed to investigate the differences in changes in the Food Intake LEVEL Scale (FILS) and Barthel Index (BI) and death after follow-up between the malnutrition and cachexia group and the other groups.RESULTS:The mean age was 83.7 ± 8.3 years, 119 (44%) were men and 152 (56%) were women. The median FILS at baseline was 7 and the median BI was 25. A total of 120 (44%) had malnutrition only, 54 (20%) had neither cachexia nor malnutrition, 12 (4%) had cachexia only, and 85 (31%) had both cachexia and malnutrition. Multivariate analyses showed no significant difference between the change in BI (P = 0.688) and the change in FILS (P = 0.928) between the malnutrition and cachexia group and the other groups; however, death increased significantly (P = 0.010).CONCLUSION:Some patients diagnosed with cachexia were not malnourished, although many patients with cachexia were malnourished. While patients with both cachexia and malnutrition did not show significant improvement in ADL and swallowing function compared with patients without both conditions, the number of deaths increased significantly.
