| Popis: | Introduction Muscular weakness in combination with malnutrition can induce a global motor impairment and physical inactivity, adversely impairing the daily living activities and quality of life of end-stage liver disease patients who are candidates for liver transplantation. Objectives To evaluate functional status, pulmonary capacity, body composition and quality of life in end-stage liver disease patients who are candidates for liver transplantation; to verify if there is a correlation between the functional variables of the individuals tested through the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and covariables: pulmonary function test (PFP), quality of life and body composition. Methods This study was carried out at the Liver Transplantation Unit of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP). We included 46 patients with end-stage liver disease who underwent the following evaluations: medical history, quality of life questionnaire “Short Form 36” (SF-36), surface electromyography (sEMG) of the diaphragm and rectus abdominis muscles, body composition assessment by electrical vioimpedance (BIA), 6MWT and PFP. Results Univariate analysis and Pearson's correlation found correlations between distance walked on 6MWT and QOL (P = .006 and P = .02) and TBW (P = .5 and P = .02). Pearson's correlation were found between respiratory variables of 6MWT, QOL, and PFP. Conclusion The functional status may be correlated to body composition, quality of life and pulmonary capacity of patients with liver disease, candidates for transplantation. |
