Se estudian 35 pacientes diagnosticadios de enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) e ingresados por causas inherentes a su broncopatía con un protocolo de evaluación nutricional. El 88% de los enfermos mostró algún déficit. El marasmo fue la malnutrición más frecuentemente hallada (71%). Los parámetros nutricionales más fiables fueron el índice de creatinina/talla (ICT), el pliegue cutáneo tricipital (PCT), la circunferencia media muscular braquial (CMMB) y la circunferencia media braquial (CMB). Se encontró correlación entre parámetros antropométricos estimativos de la masa muscular (CMMB y CMB) y la capacidad vital forzada (FVC) y PaCO2 (p<0,05) como índices de función pulmonar. Se discute la interacción desnutrición-insuficiencia respiratoria, valorándose la utilidad de cada parámetro en nuestro caso.

Thirty five patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) admitted to hospital due to several reasons related to COPD were studied using a nutritional assessment protocol. At least one nutritional deficiency was found in 88% of the patients. Marasmus was the most common form of malnutrition among our patients (71%). The most reliable nutritional parameters were the creatinine/height ratio (ICT), the tricipital cutaneous fold (PCT), the mean brachial muscular perimeter (CMMB) and the mean brachial perimeter (CMB). A correlation was found between anthropometric parameters related to muscular mass (CMMB and CMB) and forced vital capacity (FVC) and PaCO2 (p<0.05) as pulmonary function indexes. The malnutrition-respiratory failure interaction is discussed while assessing the usefulness of every parameter used in our study.
