Abstract
Sarcopenia, defined as a loss of muscle mass and function, is a physiologic factor that has been implicated as a predictor of adverse postoperative outcomes in many older adult populations. However, data related to sarcopenia in older adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remain limited. Older adults with IBD are particularly vulnerable to adverse postoperative outcomes, in part, due to muscle depletion from systemic inflammation, malnutrition, and reduced physical activity. However, few patients undergo routine muscle evaluation as a part of preoperative assessment. Moreover, cut-off values for measures of sarcopenia in the literature are modeled after non-IBD populations. The lack of standardized measures and values for sarcopenia in the IBD patient population has led to heterogenous findings and a paucity of preoperative risk stratification tools. Therefore, we aim to explore the scope of sarcopenia as a preoperative risk stratification tool among older adults with IBD.
