    Critical review: phase angle measured by bioimpedance as a predictor of sarcopenia in adult patients on hemodialysis
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2024-07-11) Méndez Carbajal, Daniel Fernando; León Cáceres, Johanna del Carmen
    Patients have a high prevalence of malnutrition, metabolic disorders, and decreased daily activities, which increases the risk of mortality and decreases quality of life. This secondary research aimed to identify whether phase angle can predict sarcopenia in adult hemodialysis patients. The clinical question was: Can phase angle measured by bioimpedance predict sarcopenia in adult hemodialysis patients? The methodology used was Evidence-Based Nutrition (NuBE). Information gathering was conducted on Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, Scielo, Medline, Dialnet, and Redalyc, with 48 articles found. Seven articles were selected and critically evaluated using the CASPE tool, with the cohort article titled 'Phase Angle Derived from Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Predicts Sarcopenia in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients' being selected, which has a level I evidence and a strong recommendation grade according to the investigator's expertise. The critical review concluded that phase angle is a good predictor of sarcopenia in adult hemodialysis patients.
