Malnutrition Using GLIM Criteria and Comparing CT and BIA for Muscle Mass Measurement
An observational study of Malnutrition, run by Klinikum St. Georg gGmbH.
Trial summary
Evaluation of malnutrition with the help of the GLIM criteria. Muscle mass measurement, as recommended in the GLIM criteria was done with the help of abdominal CT scan and BIA. Both methods were compared and their association to the clinical outcome was assessed. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Evaluation of Malnutrition in Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery Using GLIM Criteria and Comparing CT and BIA for Muscle Mass Measurement
Evaluation of malnutrition with the help of the GLIM criteria. Muscle mass measurement, as recommended in the GLIM criteria was done with the help of abdominal CT scan and BIA. Both methods were compared and their association to the clinical outcome was assessed.
Read the detailed description
We retrospectively analysed 260 patients undergoing major abdominal surgery between January 2017 and December 2019. Patients were prospectively screened and assessed for malnutrition with Nutritional Risk Score (NRS) and Subjective Global assessment (SGA). Body composition was analysed with CT scan and BIA within 30 days before surgery. GLIM criteria were retrospectively determined referring to the Fat free Mass from BIA (FFMBIA) and Muscle Mass from axial CT scan at lumbar level 3 (MMCT). The prevalence of GLIM - malnutrition according to BIA and CT was evaluated. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine association between malnutrition and outcome parameters. ROC-curves specified sensitivity and specificity of the different tools and areas under the curve were calculated.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Malnutrition, run by Klinikum St. Georg gGmbH.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
overall complications (time frame: 31 days POD). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jan 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
