Background/Purpose: Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterised by progressive and generalised loss of skeletal muscle mass. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of sarcopenia on the prognosis of the critical aged patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: The study was planned as a retrospective and observational study and performed after the approval from the ethics committee (approval number is E. Kurul-E-18-1928). Patients older than 40 years of age having abdominal tomography and admitted to the ICU were included. All patients were divided into two groups as sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic by muscle mass measuring by abdominal tomography. We compared the prognosis and clinical features of the patients with and without sarcopenia. Results: A total of 105 patients were included in the study. Fifty five (59%) of the patients were found as sarcopenic and 70.8% over 70 years of age. The length of stay in ICU and in hospital were 27.8 +/- 29.7 and 33.0 +/- 31.2 days in sarcopenic patients, 15.1 +/- 17 and 23.8 +/- 21.3 days in nonsarcopenic patients respectively ( p <0.05). Thirty day mortality was found 49.1% in sarcopenic patients ( p <0.05). Conclusion: The presence of sarcopenia in critically aged patients is important because it is associated with increased 30 -day mortality, prolonged ICU and hospital stay.
