Official title
Methods for Assessing Nutrition, Inflammation, Kidney Function, Aging, Body Composition, and Hydration Among Older Patients - An Observational Study (MIKADO)
Overview
The goal of this observational study, is to improve the diagnostic assessment method of malnutrition and kidney diseases, amongst hospitalized and low priority patients, by evaluating modern methodology and biomarkers, with regards to an estimate of the nutritional status and kidney diseases, against current gold standards, and also investigate how body composition, hydration, inflammation and age affect the assessments.
Primary outcome measures
- To investigate whether the method used to determine body composition affects the diagnosis of malnutrition when applying the GLIM criteria. [Time frame: Time of inclusion and/or 14 days after preliminary inclusion.]
- To evaluate the performance of eGFR based on creatinine, cystatin C, B2M, and BTP relative to mGFRDBS in acutely hospitalized patients with a cystatin C/kreatinin ratio <0,7 (patients from groups 1 and 2) [Time frame: From enrollment to 6-8 hours later same day (when mGFRDBS is completed)]
- To evaluate the performance of eGFR based on creatinine, cystatin C, B2M, and BTP relative to mGFRDBS in patients aged ≥90 år (patients from groups 1 and 3) [Time frame: From enrollment to 6-8 hours later same day (when mGFRDBS is completed)]
- To evaluate the performance of eGFR based on creatinine, cystatin C, B2M, and BTP relative to mGFRDBS in patients with BMI ≥35 kg/m2 (patients from groups 1 and 4) [Time frame: From enrollment to 6-8 hours later same day (when mGFRDBS is completed)]
- To determine changes in mGFRDBS during and after treatment with ≥37.5 mg daily prednisolone (patients from group 5) [Time frame: From enrollment to approximately 10-35 days after prednisolone treatment]
- To determine changes in mGFRDBS before and after amputation (patients from group 6) [Time frame: From enrollment to follow-up after amputation (approximately 3 weeks after operation)]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- To evaluate the performance of eGFR based on creatinine, cystatin C, B2M, and BTP relative to mGFRDBS during and after treatment with ≥37.5 mg daily prednisolone (patients from group 5) [Time frame: From enrollment to approximately 10-35 days after prednisolone treatment]
- To evaluate the performance of eGFR based on creatinine, cystatin C, B2M, and BTP relative to mGFRDBS before and after amputation (patients from group 6) [Time frame: From enrollment to follow-up after amputation (approximately 3 weeks after operation)]
- To investigate the impact of body composition on the performance of eGFR based on creatinine, cystatin C, B2M, and BTP in relation to mGFRDBS (patients from group 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (after prednisolone treatment), and 6 (before amputation) [Time frame: From enrollment to approximately 10-35 days after prednisolone treatment (this assessment provides the last data for this outcome)]
- To investigate the impact of hydration status on the performance of eGFR based on creatinine, cystatin C, B2M, and BTP in relation to mGFRDBS (patients from group 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (after prednisolone treatment), and 6 (before amputation) [Time frame: From enrollment to approximately 10-35 days after prednisolone treatment (this assessment provides the last data for this outcome)]
- To investigate the impact of inflammatory and aging markers on the performance of eGFR based on creatinine, cystatin C, B2M, and BTP in relation to mGFRDBS (patients from group 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (after prednisolone treatment), and 6 (before amputation) [Time frame: From enrollment to approximately 10-35 days after prednisolone treatment (this assessment provides the last data for this outcome)]
- To investigate the impact of nutritional status on the performance of eGFR based on creatinine, cystatin C, B2M, and BTP in relation to mGFRDBS (patients from group 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (after prednisolone treatment), and 6 (before amputation) [Time frame: From enrollment to approximately 10-35 days after prednisolone treatment (this assessment provides the last data for this outcome)]
- To investigate the impact of performance of eGFR based on creatinine, cystatin C, B2M, and BTP in relation to dosing of renal risk medications (patients from group 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (after prednisolone treatment), and 6 (before amputation) [Time frame: From enrollment to approximately 10-35 days after prednisolone treatment (this assessment provides the last data for this outcome)]
- To investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity, and to characterize these groups. [Time frame: At inclusion and after 2 weeks]
- To investigate whether the estimation of body composition is affected by patient dehydration [Time frame: 2 weeks after inclusion]
- To investigate how differences between GFR estimates are affected by hydration [Time frame: At Inclusion and two weeks after]
- To determine whether the use of medications with potential dehydrating effects can predict dehydration." [Time frame: Atr inclusion and two weeks after]
- To investigate the prevalence of dehydration [Time frame: At inclusion and two weeks after]
