| Popis: | In patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, undernutrition has a profound effect on prognosis. However, whether body mass index affects the ability to perform activities of daily living as measured by the Barthel index in patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias remains unknown. Therefore, we examined the impact of body mass index on the activities of daily living in inpatients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. We used a database constructed by the Japan Medical Data Center. Data were extracted from 2774 inpatients from participating hospitals with a diagnosis of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. Multiple regression analysis adjusted for confounding factors was performed to determine whether body mass index classification would be independently related to change in Barthel index during hospitalization. Underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity numbered 473 (19%), 1037 (41), 795 (31%), and 235 (9%), respectively. Multivariable analysis showed that being underweight was independently associated with a change in Barthel index during hospitalization of 2.95 (95% confidence interval &minus 4.82 to &minus 1.07) points lower than being normal weight. Approximately 20% of the patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias were underweight. Those who were underweight had decreased independence in activities of daily living during hospitalization. |
