The Effect of Nutrition and BMI on on Lung Capacity, Functional Capacity and Mortality in End-Stage Lung Patients

Overview

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nutritional risk index, BMI and body fat, muscle ratio on functional capacity, lung capacity, exercise capacity index, all-cause mortality, post-transplant intensive care unit stay and survival time in end-stage lung patients on the lung transplant list.

This study aimed to determine the nutritional status of patients awaiting lung transplantation and examine the effects of nutritional status, immunonutrition use, and BMI on lung capacity, mortality, and health status after lung transplantation. The study was designed in two different periods. The first period was a retrospective descriptive study. During this study, we will examine the retrospective nutritional status of patients who are waiting for lung transplantation, those who exited while on the list, or those who have received lung transplantation. In the second phase, we will conduct face-to-face interviews with patients on the lung transplant list, take bioelectrical impedance analyses (BIA), and record 24-hour food consumption to examine their detailed nutritional status.
