摘要
BACKGROUND Cardio-pulmonary exercise testing (CPEX) is selectively used before intervention for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Sarcopenia, a chronic condition defined by reduced skeletal muscle function and volume, can be assessed radiologically by computed tomography (CT)-derived body composition analysis (CT-BC), and is associated with systemic inflammation. OBJECTIVE The aim was to describe the association between CT-BC, CPEX, inflammation and survival in patients undergoing elective intervention for AAA. SETTING Patients were recruited retrospectively from a single, secondary-care centre-operative database. Cases undergoing elective endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and open surgical repair (OSR) between 31 March 2015 and 25 June 2020 were included. PATIENTS There were 176 patients (130 EVAR, 46 OSR) available for analysis in the final study; median (interquartile range [IQR]) follow-up was 60.5 [27] months, and all completed a minimum of 2 years follow-up. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Preoperative CPEX tests were recorded. CT sarcopenia score [CT-SS, range 0 to 2, calculated based on normal/low SMI (0/1) and normal/low SMD (0/1)] assessed radiological sarcopenia. Preoperative modified Glasgow Prognostic score (mGPS) was used to assess systemic inflammation. RESULTS Mean [95% confidence interval (CI) survival in the CT-SS 0 vs. CT-SS 1 vs. CT-SS 2 subgroups was 80.1 (73.6 to 86.6) months vs. 70.3 (63.5 to 77.1) months vs. 63.8 (53.4 to 74.2) months] ( P = 0.01). CT-SS was not associated with CPEX results ( P > 0.05). Elevated CT-SS [hazard ratio (HR) 1.83, 95% CI, 1.16 to 2.89, P < 0.01] was independently associated with increased hazard of long-term mortality; however, CPEX results were not ( P > 0.05). CONCLUSION CPEX test results were not consistently associated with body composition and did not have significant prognostic value in patients undergoing elective treatment for AAA.
