"Latar Belakang: Sarkopenia dan malnutrisi merupakan komplikasi sirosis hati dekompensata yang berhubungan dengan luaran klinis yang buruk. Varises esofagus (VE) merupakan luaran klinis yang paling sering ditemui pada pasien sirosis hati dekompensata. Hubungan komplikasi Varises Esofagus risiko tinggi dengan kejadian sarkopenia dan malnutrisi belum banyak dilakukan di Indonesia.Tujuan : mengetahui hubungan antara sarkopenia dan malnutrisi terhadap luaran komplikasi VE risiko tinggi pada pasien sirosis hati.Metode: Studi observasional cross-sectional dilakukan pada 155 pasien di RS Cipto Mangunkusumo pada Januari hingga September 2023. Sarkopenia didefinisikan sebagai kehilangan massa dan kekuatan otot dan atau menurunnya performa fisik sesuai dengan kriteria AWGS 2019 (Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia). Kriteria malnutrisi menggunakan GLIM (Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition). Analisis multivariat dilakukan menggunakan regresi logistik.Hasil: Total 155 pasien sirosis hati, 48 pasien memiliki VE risiko tinggi dan 107 pasien memiliki VE risiko rendah. Prevalensi sarkopenia pada pasien sirosis hati ditemukan sebesar 42,6%, sementara prevalensi malnutrisi ditemukan sebesar 82,6%. Kombinasi koeksistensi sarkopenia dan malnutrisi ditemukan sebesar 42,6%. Status sarkopenia berhubungan secara statistik dengan kejadian VE risiko tinggi setelah dikontrol dengan variabel Child Pugh (Adjusted PR: 1,62 (IK 95%: 1,01-2,59; p=0,04). Sementara itu tidak ditemukan hubungan yang bermakna antara malnutrisi dengan kejadian VE risiko tinggi. Pada evaluasi kombinasi koeksistensi dua faktor risiko sarkopenia dan malnutrisi, ditemukan hubungan yang bermakna terhadap kejadian VE risiko tinggi.Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan signifikan antara sarkopenia terhadap VE risiko tinggi. Selain itu, adanya koeksistensi sarkopenia dan malnutrisi sebagai faktor risiko gabungan secara statistik signifikan dalam kejadian VE risiko tinggi.

Background: Sarcopenia and malnutrition are complications of decompensated liver cirrhosiswhich is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Esophageal varices (VE) are the most common clinical outcome in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis.The relationship between high-risk complications of esophageal varices and the incidence of sarcopenia and malnutrition has not been widely studied in Indonesia.

Objective :determine the relationship between sarcopenia and malnutrition on the outcome of high-risk VE complications in liver cirrhosis patients.

Method: Cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 155 patients at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from January to September 2023. Sarcopenia is defined as loss of muscle mass and strength and/or decreased physical performance according to the 2019 AWGS (Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia) criteria. Malnutrition criteria use GLIM (Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition). Multivariate analysis was performed using logistic regression.

Results:A total of 155 patients with liver cirrhosis, 48 patients had high risk VE and 107 patients had low risk VE. The prevalence of sarcopenia in liver cirrhosis patients was found to be 42.6%, while the prevalence of malnutrition was found to be 82.6%. The combined coexistence of sarcopenia and malnutrition was found to be 42.6%. Sarcopenia status was statistically related to the incidence of high risk VE after controlling for the Child Pugh variable (Adjusted PR: 1.62 (95% CI: 1.01-2.59; p=0.04). Meanwhile, no significant relationship was found between malnutrition and the incidence of high risk VE. In evaluating the combination of the coexistence of two risk factors for sarcopenia and malnutrition, a significant relationship was found with the incidence of high risk VE. Conclusion:There is a significant relationship between sarcopenia and high risk VE. In addition, the coexistence of sarcopenia and malnutrition as combined risk factors was statistically significant in the occurrence of high-risk VE."

Background: Sarcopenia affects hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prognosis. HCC staging consists of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG-PS). ECOG-PS is an assessment of physical activity related to sarcopenia. Gold standard examinations for sarcopenia in HCC are expensive and time-consuming. Thigh muscle thickness can be used as a new modality. This study was aimed to explore the association between ECOG-PS with sarcopenia, to seek thigh muscle thickness difference between poor and good performance status, and to know thigh muscle thickness difference between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic patients with HCC.

Methods: The study was conducted in a tertiary hospital during January – October 2021. Statistical analysis was performed to obtain an association between ECOG-PS, thigh muscle thickness, and sarcopenic status of HCC patients.

Results: Eighty-five HCC patients (median age, 52 years) were analyzed. Sarcopenia was observed in 30,6% of HCC patients. On multivariate binary regression analysis, a poor ECOG-PS remained independently associated with sarcopenia in HCC (adjusted OR = 6,35, 95% CI 2,06-19,6, p < 0,001). There was a significant difference in thigh muscle thickness between good and poor performance status (p < 0,001). There was also a significant difference in thigh muscle thickness between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic patients (p < 0,001).

Conclusion: There were association between ECOG-PS and sarcopenia in HCC (aOR = 6,35, IK 95% 2,06-19,60). Mean thigh muscle thickness was larger in HCC patients with good ECOG-PS than poor ECOG-PS. Mean thigh muscle thickness was larger in non-sarcopenic HCC patients than sarcopenic ones."

"ABSTRAKLatar belakang dan Tujuan : Varises esofagus merupakan komplikasi sirosis hati dengan mortalitas tertinggi. Pemeriksaan USG Doppler yang bersifat non invasif, tersedia luas dan relatif murah, dipertimbangkan sebagai metode skrining, namun belum ditemukan parameter Doppler splenoportal yang dapat digunakan sebagai indikator varises dengan akurat. Indeks volume aliran vena lienalis terhadap kecepatan aliran vena porta dipikirkan dapat menjadi parameter baru yang akurat.Metode : Studi observasional potong lintang dilakukan pada 28 pasien sirosis hati di Divisi Hepatologi Departemen Ilmu Penyakit Dalam Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo dalam kurun waktu November 2015 hingga Februari 2016. Indeks dan parameter Doppler lainnya merupakan data primer. Subjek dibagi menjadi tiga kelompok, yakni kelompok non varises, varises kecil dan besar. Uji komparatif dilakukan untuk membandingkan indeks dan parameter Doppler lainnya diantara ketiga kelompok tersebut. Analisis kurva receiver operating characteristic (ROC) dilakukan pada parameter yang secara statistik bermakna untuk mendapatkan nilai sensitifitas dan spesifisitasnya.Hasil : Nilai tengah indeks pada kelompok non varises 9,60 (4,67 – 15,07), varises kecil 21,18 (8,92 – 25,24) dan varises besar 64,43 (46,67 – 145,88) dengan nilai p<0,001.

ABSTRACTBackground and Objective : Esophageal varices is a complication of liver cirrhosis with high mortality. Doppler ultrasound examination is non-invasive, widely available and relatively low cost to be considered as a screening method of varices. Unfortunately, there is still no splenoportal Doppler parameter that can be used as an indicator of varices with high accuracy. Index of splenic vein flow volume to portal vein flow velocity is thought to be a new, more accurate parameter.Methods : A cross-sectional observational study conducted in 28 patients with liver cirrhosis in the Division of Hepatology Department of Internal Medicine Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital during November 2015 to February 2016. Index and other splenoportal Doppler parameters are the primary data. Subjects were divided into three groups : a group of non varices, small and large varices. The comparative test conducted to compare the mean index and other splenoportal Doppler parameters among the three groups. Analysis of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed on parameters that are statistically significant to get the sensitivity and specificity value.Results : Median index in the group of non varices is 9,60 (4,67 – 15,07), 21,18 (8,92 – 25,24) in small varices and 64,43 (46,67 – 145,88) in large varices group with p<0.001. ROC curve analysis generated optimal cutting point index 15,78 which gives 80% sensitivity and 100% specificity to differentiate small and non varices group and the cutoff point of 36.0 which provides 100% sensitivity and specificity to differentiate among the large and small varices.Conclusions : There is a significant association between the index of splenic vein flow volume to portal vein flow velocity by ultrasound with the degree of esophageal varices by endoscopy in patients with liver cirrhosis and this index can be used as indicator of esophageal varices with high accuracy."

Although there was a slight increase in patients with Child-Pugh C liver cirrhosis compared to ChildPugh B or A. However, the increase was statistically meaningless."

"Pendahuluan: Sirosis hati merupakan penyebab mortalitas dan morbiditas global, terutama melalui komplikasi hipertensi porta yang menyebabkan perdarahan varises esofagus (VE). Pasien yang pernah mengalami perdarahan pertama memiliki tingkat kejadian perdarahan berulang yang tinggi dengan angka survival yang rendah. Meskipun endoskopi dapat memprediksi perdarahan berulang, pendekatan ini mahal dan bersifat invasif. Oleh karena itu, pemeriksaan non invasif lain dengan tingkat akurasi yang tinggi perlu dipelajari.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi prediktor non-invasif perdarahan berulang VE (kekakuan hati, kekakuan limpa, skor Child Pugh, dan jumlah trombosit) pada pasien sirosis hati.Metode: Sebanyak 102 sampel pasien sirosis hati yang mengalami riwayat perdarahan VE. Variabel prediktor dalam memprediksi kejadian perdarahan berulang varises esofagus pada penelitian ini meliputi kekakuan hati, kekakuan limpa, skor Child Pugh, serta jumlah trombosit. Analisa multivariat dan uji skor dengan validasi internal untuk mendapatkan model performa terbaik sebagai prediktor perdarahan VE berulang.Hasil: Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kekakuan hati, kekakuan limpa, skor Child Pugh, dan trombositopenia signifikan sebagai prediktor perdarahan berulang VE. Dengan menggabungkan variabel ini, model prediksi dihasilkan dengan AUC 0,870. Diperoleh uji skor dengan validasi bahwa keempat variabel tersebut signifikan sebagai faktor yang berhubungan dengan perdarahan berulang varises esofagus. Kesimpulan: kombinasi kekakuan hati, kekakuan limpa, skor Child Pugh, dan jumlah trombosit memiliki performa baik dalam memprediksi risiko perdarahan varises esofagus berulang pada pasien sirosis hati.

Background: Liver cirrhosis is a global cause of mortality and morbidity, especially through complications of portal hypertension which causes esophageal variceal (VE) bleeding. Patients who have experienced a first bleed have a high rate of recurrent bleeding with a low survival rate. Although endoscopy can predict recurrent bleeding, this approach is expensive and invasive. Therefore, other non- invasive examinations with a high accuracy need to be researched.

Objective: This study aims to identify non-invasive predictors of recurrent VE bleeding (liver stiffness, spleen stiffness, Child Pugh score, and platelet count) in liver cirrhosis patients.

Methods: A total of 102 samples of liver cirrhosis patients who had a history of VE bleeding were included in this study. Predictor variables in predicting the incidence of recurrent esophageal variceal bleeding in this study include liver stiffness, spleen stiffness, Child Pugh score, and platelet count. Multivariate analysis and internal validity test were used to obtain the best performance model as a predictor of recurrent VE bleeding.

Results: The results showed that liver stiffness, spleen stiffness, Child Pugh score, and thrombocytopenia were significant as predictors of recurrent VE bleeding. By combining these variables, a prediction model was generated with an AUC of 0.870. Validity test of these four variables were significant as factors associated with recurrent esophageal variceal bleeding.

Conclusion: The combination of liver stiffness, spleen stiffness, Child Pugh score, and platelet count has good performance in predicting the risk of recurrent esophageal variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis."
