“…At baseline, demographic characteristics of the patients including age, sex, date of hospital and ICU admission, chief complain and diagnosis (type of TBI) were collected from their medical records. In terms of anthropometric measurements body weight were measured using a bed scale (Balas Company, Iran) with an accuracy of 100 g and height were estimated by ulna length (Tarnowski et al, 2018) using a flexible tape with an accuracy of 0.5 cm. BMI was calculated by dividing the weight (kg) by height square (m 2 ) (Nuttall, 2015).…”

Previous studies have shown a beneficial effect of curcuminoids supplementation on serum concentrations of adipokines; however, there are no published studies that have examined this effect among critically ill patients. We aimed to assess the effects of supplementation with curcuminoids on serum concentrations of leptin and adiponectin in critically ill patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). In this trial, 62 critically ill patients with TBI, aged 18-65 years, were randomly allocated to receive either 500 mg/day curcuminoids (co-administered with 5 mg/day piperine) or matched placebo for 7 days. Patients in both intervention groups received routine treatments for TBI as well as enteral nutrition. Serum concentrations of leptin and adiponectin were measured at baseline and at the end of trial. We found a significant reduction in serum levels of leptin in both curcuminoids (47.1%) and placebo (22.8%) groups; though the magnitude of reduction was greater in the former (p < .05). Supplementation with curcumioinds was not found to alter serum concentrations of adiponectin (p > .05). Supplementation with curcumioinds significantly reduced serum levels of leptin but had no significant effect on adiponectin levels in critically ill

“…In certain medical conditions such as decreased consciousness, stroke, lower limb fracture, and the patient is unable to stand, upper arm circumference (UAC) can be used as an alternative to weight (6,9). As for the alternative measurement of height, the ulna length can be used (7,10,11). Many formulations used in predicting weight and height were adopted from America and Europe and very few were specific to Indonesians (12).…”

Many medical conditions do not allow direct weighing or measurement of body height. The circumference of the upper arm (CUA) is an alternative in determining body weight, while the ulna length can be used as an alternative for height. The aim of this study was to identify the sensitivity and specificity of Crandal and Ilayperuma’s Formula to predict adult weight and height in Indonesia, especially in Pekanbaru. This study conducted using a quantitative approach with cross sectional design and involving 116 respondents who recruited using accidental sampling. The instrument used is a questionnaire, manual weight scales, metlin, and heel microtoise. Data were analyzed using spearman to aand logistic regression test. The results showed that the sensitivity value of the Crandal and Ilayperuma’s formula were 78,2% and 63,4%. Meanwhile, the specificity value of Crandal and Ilayperuma’s formula were 75,4% and 80%. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) values in the Crandal and Ilayperuma formulas were 76,7% and 70,7%. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Crandal and Ilayperuma’s formula can be used as an alternative in determining the estimation of weight and height of adults in Indonesia, even with moderate diagnostic power.

“…Em pacientes críticos, algumas medidas se tornam inviáveis de ser realizadas, devido à complexidade de seu estado clínico, de dispositivos utilizados para manutenção das funções vitais, imobilizações e equipamentos. Ainda não existe um padrão ouro para ser utilizado nesse modelo de paciente (BERGER et al, 2008;TARNOWSKI et al, 2017).…”

“…A altura recumbente pode ser uma opção, porém requer tempo e exige que as camas estejam completamente na horizontal; em alguns pacientes, não se consegue posicioná-los em decúbito dorsal, e seu reposicionamento pode ocasionar desconforto, além de necessitar de profissional treinado. Diferentes autores desenvolveram e validaram fórmulas para realizar a estimativa da estatura e do peso corporal por meio das medidas de segmentos corporais, como de altura do joelho, ulna, comprimento do braço, circunferência de braço (CB) e panturrilha (CP) (CHUMLEA; ROCHE; STEIN-BAUGH, 1985;RABITO, 2008;TARNOWSKI et al, 2017;TOLEDO;CASTRO, 2015).…”

OBJETIVO: Verificar a assertividade de quatro fórmulas de estimativa de estatura quando comparadas a altura real de pacientes internados em um complexo de terapia intensiva. METODOLOGIA: Estudo prospectivo analítico. Por meio de coleta de dados e aferição de medidas em 66 pacientes. Para avaliar a acurácia das fórmulas, o teste t-student para amostras pareadas foi utilizado. RESULTADOS: As fórmulas que utilizam a altura do joelho como parâmetro mostraram alta correlação com a altura real. CONCLUSÃO: As estimativas são bons métodos para obter a estatura do paciente, quando não é possível aferir a mesma.

Height Prediction From Ulna Length of Critically Ill Patients

Abstract: The mathematical equation for height estimation using UL developed in this study matched the MH of critically ill patients. However, we suggest more studies for its validation.
