Reliable measurement of basal energy expenditure (BEE) in liver transplant (LT) recipients is necessary for adapting energy requirements, improving nutritional status and preventing weight gain. Indirect calorimetry (IC) is the gold standard for measuring BEE. However, BEE may be estimated through alternative methods, including electrical bioimpedance (BI), Harris-Benedict Equation (HBE), and Mifflin-St. Jeor Equation (MSJ) that carry easier applicability and lower cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To determine which of the three alternative methods for BEE estimation (HBE, BI and MSJ) would provide most reliable BEE estimation in LT recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prospective cross-sectional study including dyslipidemic LT recipients in follow-up at a 735-bed tertiary referral university hospital. Comparisons of BEE measured through IC to BEE estimated through each of the three alternative methods (HBE, BI and MSJ) were performed using Bland-Altman method and Wilcoxon Rank Sum test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forty-five patients were included, aged 58\u00b110 years. BEE measured using IC was 1664\u00b1319 kcal for males, and 1409\u00b1221 kcal for females. Average difference between BEE measured by IC (1534\u00b1300 kcal) and BI (1584\u00b1377 kcal) was +50 kcal (p=0.0384). Average difference between the BEE measured using IC (1534\u00b1300 kcal) and MSJ (1479.6\u00b1375 kcal) was -55 kcal (p=0.16). Average difference between BEE values measured by IC (1534\u00b1300 kcal) and HBE (1521\u00b1283 kcal) was -13 kcal (p=0.326). Difference between BEE estimated through IC and HBE was less than 100 kcal for 39 of all 43patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the three alternative methods, HBE was the most reliable for estimating BEE in LT recipients.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
