Assessment of adult malnutrition and prognosis with bioelectrical impedance analysis: phase angle and impedance ratio.

TLDR
Use of basic BIA measurements, independent of use of regression prediction models and assumptions of constant chemical composition of the fat-free body, enables new options for practical assessment and clinical evaluation of impaired nutritional status and prognosis among hospitalized patients and elders that potentially can contribute to improved patient care and clinical outcomes.
Abstract
Purpose of reviewMalnutrition affects prognosis in many groups of patients. Although screening tools are available to identify adults at risk for poor nutritional status, a need exists to improve the assessment of malnutrition by identifying the loss of functional tissues that can lead to frailty, c

Bioelectrical impedance analysis for body composition assessment: reflections on accuracy, clinical utility, and standardisation.

TL;DR: It is argued that the focus on statistically significant but small differences between methods can obscure operational equivalence and that such differences may be of minor clinical significance.

Classification of Hydration in Clinical Conditions: Indirect and Direct Approaches Using Bioimpedance.

TL;DR: Each approach has wide-ranging uses in evaluation and management of clinical groups with over-hydration with an evolving emphasis on prognosis with comments on future applications.

American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Clinical Guidelines: The Validity of Body Composition Assessment in Clinical Populations

TL;DR: No recommendations can be made at this time to support the use of US or BIA in the clinical setting, as data to support its validity in any specific patient population are limited in scope or by the proprietary nature of manufacture-specific BIA regression models to procure body composition data.

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) -derived phase angle in sarcopenia: A systematic review.

TL;DR: Data from the selected papers demonstrate that PhA is decreased in sarcopenic subjects and the prevalence of sarcopenia is higher in subjects with low PhA, and PhA and sarc Openia were independent predictors of survival in cancer patients and geriatric hospitalized patients.

ESPEN guidelines on definitions and terminology of clinical nutrition

TL;DR: An agreement of basic nutritional terminology to be used in clinical practice, research, and the ESPEN guideline developments has been established and may help to support future global consensus efforts and updates of classification systems such as the International Classification of Disease.

Bioelectrical phase angle and impedance vector analysis--clinical relevance and applicability of impedance parameters.

TL;DR: PhA, a superior prognostic marker, should be considered as a screening tool for the identification of risk patients with impaired nutritional and functional status, BIVA is recommended for further nutritional assessment and monitoring, in particular when calculation of body composition is not feasible.

Nutrition screening tools: Does one size fit all? A systematic review of screening tools for the hospital setting

TL;DR: Not one single screening or assessment tool is capable of adequate nutrition screening as well as predicting poor nutrition related outcome and development of new tools seems redundant and will most probably not lead to new insights.

Lean tissue imaging: a new era for nutritional assessment and intervention.

TL;DR: This review explores the methodologies and the emerging value of imaging techniques in the assessment of body composition, focusing on the value of lean soft tissue (LST) to predict nutrition status.
