Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

hand grip strength

Time Frame: Participants will be followed from day 1 to day 180. Examinations take place at discharge, after 4 weeks, after 3 months and after 6 months.

The primary endpoint is the change in muscle functionality of the study groups after 4 weeks by the measurement of hand grip strength using Jamar®-Dynamometer.

  • Extracellular to body cell mass ratio (ECM/BCM - Ratio)(Participants will be followed from day 1 to day 180. Examinations take place at discharge, after 4 weeks, after 3 months and after 6 months.)
  • Folic acid in serum(Participants will be followed from day 1 to day 180. Examinations take place after 4 weeks, after 3 months and after 6 months.)

  • Sarcopenia prevalence(Participants will be followed from day 1 to day 180.Examinations take place at discharge, after 4 weeks, after 3 months and after 6 months.)
  • Phase angle(Participants will be followed from day 1 to day 180. Examinations take place at discharge, after 4 weeks, after 3 months and after 6 months.)
