Abstract

Introduction: Malnutrition is a serious problem in patients with COPD, it interferes with normal skeletal muscle function, with reduced muscle mass and decreased respiratory muscle strength and endurance. It also contributes to respiratory muscle dysfunction, disease severity, and disability progression. Malnutrition is associated with disease severity, associated with more severe exacerbations, and increases the length of hospital stay. Malnutrition in COPD is described with varying prevalence rates ranging from 30-60%. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between malnutrition and quality of life in patients with COPD. Method: The research design is an observational analytic conducted from November 2023 to March 2024. The study population was COPD patients who sought treatment at the Pulmonary Polyclinic at RSCPL with a total sample using the consecutive sampling method of 91 people. Manultrition assessment by measuring TB and BW of patients when they arrived and assessing quality of life with the SGRQ questionnaire, Data processing using SPSS by correlating malnutrition with quality of life, degree of shortness of breath, and spirometry. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between malnutrition and quality of life (p=0.001) with the degree of shortness of breath (p=0.014) and spirometry (p=0.001). Conclusion: We found an association between malnutrition and quality of life, degree of breathlessness and spirometry of patients with COPD, further prospective studies in other populations are needed to validate the results of this study.

Abstract

Background: Malnutrition is a serious problem in patients with COPD, it interferes with normal skeletal muscle function, with reduced muscle mass and decreased respiratory muscle strength and endurance. The purpose of the study was to determine the incidence of malnutrition based on BMI and SGA in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at the Prof. Dr. Chairuddin P. Lubis Medan Teaching Hospital. Method: The research design is an observational analytic, from November 2023 to March 2024. The study population was COPD patients who sought treatment at the Pulmonary Polyclinic at RSCPL with a total sample using the consecutive sampling method of 91 people Assessment of BMI by measuring TB and BW of patients when they came and assessment of SGA with a questionnaire Data processing using SPSS using descriptive statistics by displaying the IMT and SGA frequency distribution tables. Result: The results of this study found that most patients were categorized as underweight, namely 28 patients (30.8%). The majority of SGA classification as underweight/moderate nutrition "SGA B", namely 50 patients or (54.9%). Conclusion: We found that the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) questionnaire is very influential in detecting patients with COPD who are malnourished to reduce respiratory muscle decline, and relapse of exacerbations.
