Abstrakt: Objectives: Measurement of skeletal muscle wasting using computed tomography (CT) is widely known to be useful in predicting prognosis. Although some reports have been found in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), few reports have focused on the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs). This study retrospectively investigated the relationship between the erector spinae muscle area measured from CT images and ADL at the time of hospital discharge in patients with COVID-19.
Methods: Among patients aged 40 years or older, 271 patients (median age, 65 years; 180/271 male patients) who had CT cross-sectional images of the 12th thoracic vertebral level on admission were included. The Katz index was used to assess ADLs, and patients who were not completely independent were defined as dependent. Multivariable logistic and Poisson regression analyses were applied to examine the relationship between the cross-sectional area of the erector spinae muscles and the onset of ADL dependence at discharge.
Results: A total of 75 (27.7%) patients became dependent on ADL at the time of hospital discharge. Decreased erector spinae muscle area was significantly related to dependent ADL at discharge (adjusted odds ratio: 0.886, 95% confidence interval: 0.805-0.975). In addition, the erector spinae muscle area was significantly related to the number of ADL items for which independence was not achieved (adjusted incidence rate ratio: 0.959, P < 0.001).
Conclusions: The cross-sectional area of the erector spinae muscles from the thoracic CT image was associated with the ability to perform basic ADL at hospital discharge.
