Abstrakt: Objective: To investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia, its associated factors and its impact on readmission in older hospitalised patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in Vietnam.
Methods: Patients aged ≥60 with CVD were recruited from 12/2018 to 6/2019 at a tertiary hospital in Vietnam. Sarcopenia was defined by the criteria proposed by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS).
Results: There were 251 participants, with a mean age of 73.7 ± 8.8, 39.4% were female, and 34.3% had sarcopenia. On multivariable logistic regression, heart failure, chronic kidney disease and being currently unmarried were significantly associated with sarcopenia. The incidence of 5-month readmission was 35.7% (50.0% in sarcopenic participants and 27.9% in non-sarcopenic participants, P = .001). Sarcopenia independently increased the risk of readmission (adjusted OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.08-4.42).
Conclusion: Sarcopenia was present in one-third of older hospitalised patients with CVD and increased their risk of readmission. This finding suggests the need to raise awareness of sarcopenia among clinicians and older patients in Vietnam.
