WstępCelem pracy była ocena niedożywienia u pacjentów hospitalizowanych w trybie pilnym na oddziale internistycznym z uwzględnieniem chorób będących przyczyną hospitalizacji.Materiał i metodyPrzekrojowe badanie obserwacyjne przeprowadzono na próbie 320 osób w wieku podeszłym przyjmowanych kolejno na oddział chorób wewnętrznych od września 2019 r. do stycznia 2020 r. Stan odżywienia sprawdzano za pomocą: kwestionariusza Subiektywnej Globalnej Oceny (SGA), pomiaru antropometrycznego (masa ciała i wzrost), wskaźnika masy ciała (BMI) oraz analizy składu ciała za pomocą bioimpedancji elektrycznej (BI).WynikiBadania wykazały niedożywienie u 42,6% mężczyzn i 44,7% kobiet oraz poważne niedożywienie u 24% mężczyzn i 24,1% kobiet. Niedożywienie stwierdzano najczęściej u osób z przewlekłą obturacyjną chorobą płuc (POChP) i z zakażeniami układu moczowego, a poważne niedożywienie u osób z chorobami układu krążenia.WnioskiU pacjentów w wieku podeszłym hospitalizowanych w trybie pilnym z powodu chorób wewnętrznych występuje wysoki wskaźnik niedożywienia i poważnego niedożywienia. SGA i BI są przydatnymi narzędziami do kontroli stanu odżywienia w tej grupie chorych.

ABSTRACT Objective: The gait speed test (GST) is a physical test that can predict falls and aid in the diagnosis of sarcopenia in the elderly. However, to our knowledge, there have been no studies evaluating its reproducibility in hospitalized elderly patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and reproducibility of the six-meter GST (6GST) in hospitalized elderly patients. Methods: This repeated measures study involved hospitalized elderly patients (≥ 60 years of age) who underwent the 6GST by the fifth day of hospitalization, were able to walk without assistance, and presented no signs of dyspnea or pain that would prevent them from performing the test. The 6GST was performed three times in sequence, with a rest period between each test, in a level corridor. Gait speed was measured in meters/second. Reproducibility was assessed by comparing the means, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman plots. Results: We evaluated 110 elderly patients in a total of 330 tests. All participants completed all of the tests. The comparisons between the speeds obtained during the three tests showed high ICCs and a low mean bias (Bland-Altman plots). The correlation and accuracy were greatest when the mean maximum speed was compared with that obtained in the third test (1.26 ± 0.44 m/s vs. 1.22 ± 0.44 m/s; ICC = 0.99; p = 0.001; mean bias = 0.04; and limits of agreement = −0.27 to 0.15). Conclusions: The 6GST was proven to be safe and to have good reproducibility in this sample of hospitalized elderly patients. The third measurement seems to correspond to the maximum speed, since the first two measurements underestimated the actual performance.
