SARcopenia in Patients With ChrOnic PANcreatitis: the SARCOPAN Study

NCT06092307 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 98

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Sarcopenia is a complex multifactorial syndrome which could be present in older age (primary sarcopenia) or earlier in chronic disease (secondary sarcopenia). Evidence of the prevalence and incidence of sarcopenia in chronic pancreatitis is lacking, as well as studies which correlate sarcopenia to evolution of chronic pancreatitis.The main aim of this study is to evaluate whole body composition, sarcopenia, dynamic force tests, laboratory data at different stages of chronic pancreatitis. The accuracy of bioimpedance analysis and muscle ultrasound in the diagnosis of sarcopenia will also be assessed.

Conditions

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Bioelectrical impedance

Resistance, reactance, phase angle,free-fat mass, body cell mass, body cell mass index and total body will be recorded

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Handgrip strength test

Handgrip strength test using a hydraulic hand dynamometer and sit-to-stand test will be performed.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

muscle ultrasound.

The following ultrasound parameters will be evaluated: radial, ulnar, rectus femoris, rectus abdominis and medial gastrocnemius muscle thickness and echo intensity with gray-scale-index; rectus femoris muscle cross sectional area; gastrocnemius muscle fiber length and pennation angle.
