Body Composition Measurements in Pneumonia

Completed

• Conditions: Acute Infection Respiratory

• Registration Number: NCT04223453
• Lead Sponsor: Jens Rikardt Andersen

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to validate and standardize bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA, Maltron BioScan touch i8) for estimating body composition in hospitalized elderly patients with pneumonia. Body composition assessments with BIA and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA,

Detailed Description

Holigic Discovery) was performed on 36 non-fasting patients over 65 years of age. 29 patients had BIA performed within 24 hours after hospital admission and at the date of discharge. 17 patients had BIA performed in fasted state and one hour after an intake of 300 ml glucose solution.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Correlation between LBM (lean body mass) with DXA and BIA	within 3 days	At admittance both methods.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
