Popis: To assess the severity of preoperative myopenia and myosteatosis in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and examine their impact on postoperative complications.The subjects of this retrospective study were 30 pediatric patients with IBD (22 with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 8 with Crohn's disease (CD)) and 67 age-matched controls. Preoperative body mass index (BMI), psoas muscle index (PMI), and intramuscular adipose tissue content were compared between the patient groups, to investigate their association with postoperative complications.BMI and PMI were significantly lower in the IBD patients than in the controls (p 0.0001, p 0.0001, respectively). CD was associated with significantly lower BMI and PMI (p = 0.01, p = 0.01, respectively) than UC. Intramuscular adipose tissue content was comparable between the IBD patients and the controls and between the UC and CD patients. There were no significant differences among the three indices in relation to the presence or absence of postoperative complications in patients with IBD. When limited to surgical site infection (SSI), only PMI was significantly lower in the patients with SSI than in those without SSI (p = 0.04).Although BMI and PMI were lower preoperatively in pediatric IBD patients than in controls, only myopenia seemed to affect the development of SSI.
