Effect of Sarcopenia on Clinical Outcome of Total Knee Arthroplasty
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
As human life expectancy increases, the prevalence of degenerative osteoarthritis of the knee joints is steadily rising, leading to a significant surge in the frequency of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, research on sarcopenia in the population that comprises the primary recipients of these orthopedic joint surgeries has been notably lacking. Since the release of the 2019 Consensus update on sarcopenia by the Asian Walking Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) in 2020, research on sarcopenia has gained momentum in various domains. Yet, as previously mentioned, the field of orthopedics still lags behind in investigating sarcopenia. Therefore, it is believed that establishing the relationship between sarcopenia and surgical outcomes in the elderly, who are the primary targets of orthopedic joint replacement surgery, could offer insights to further enhance the results of joint replacement surgeries.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- handgrip strength, gait speed, SPPB, ASM) [6, 12months after surgery]
Handgrip strengths were measured using a handgrip dynamometer before surgery. low muscle mass AND (low physical performance OR low strength) : sarcopenia low muscle mass AND (low physical performance AND low strength) : severe sarcopenia
- gait speed [6, 12months after surgery]
Gait speed was measured using a dedicated camera equipped with LiDAR sensors.
- SPPB [6, 12months after surgery]
The Short Physical Performance Battery was measured using a dedicated device that included a force plate.
- ASM [6, 12months after surgery]
Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass was measured through Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Knee Society Score [3, 6, and 12months after surgery]
The original KSS has a "Knee Score" section (7 items) and a "Functional Score" section (3 items). Both sections are scored from 0 to 100 with lower scores being indicative of worse knee conditions and higher scores being indicative of better knee conditions
- WOMAC [3, 6, and 12months after surgery]
Higher scores indicate worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitations. The WOMAC measures five items for pain (score range 0-20), two for stiffness (score range 0-8), and 17 for functional limitation (score range 0-68).
- EQ-5D [3, 6, and 12months after surgery]
The EuroQol 5 Dimension (EQ-5D) is a self-report survey that measures quality of life across 5 domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression
- UCLA score [3, 6, and 12months after surgery]
The UCLA Activity Scale (UCLA) is a questionnaire assessing physical activity level from 1 (low) to 10 (high) in patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty
