BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is associated with adverse perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing operations for malignancy, but its influence on patients undergoing elective colectomy for diverticulitis is unknown. We hypothesized that sarcopenia is associated with adverse perioperative events in patients undergoing elective colectomy for diverticulitis.
METHODS: Comorbidities, operative characteristics, and postoperative complications were extrapolated from our institutional EMR in patients undergoing elective colectomy for diverticulitis from 2016 to 2020. Sarcopenia was calculated using perioperative imaging and defined by standard skeletal muscle index (SMI) and psoas muscle index (PMI) thresholds. Univariate analysis was used to compare sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic patients.
RESULTS: 148 patients met inclusion criteria. Using SMI thresholds, 95 patients (64%) were sarcopenic. With SMI criteria, sarcopenic patients were older (67 vs 52 years old; P < .01) and had lower BMIs (26.2 vs 34.0, respectively; P < .001) than non-sarcopenic patients. There were no differences in baseline characteristics, postoperative complications, and non-home discharge between groups (P > .05 for all). Postoperative length of stay was greater in sarcopenic patients (3 IQR 2-5 vs 2 IQR 2-3 days; P < .01). Using PMI thresholds, 68 (46%) met criteria for sarcopenia. Using PMI thresholds, sarcopenic patients were older (68 vs 57.5 years old; P < .01) and had lower BMIs (25.8 vs 32.8; P < .01). There were no differences in comorbidities or measured operative outcomes between groups (P > .05 for all), other than postoperative length of stay which was longer in the sarcopenic group (3.5 IQR 3-5 vs 2 IQR 2-3; P < .01).
CONCLUSIONS: Incidence of sarcopenia was high in patients undergoing elective colectomy for diverticulitis in our practice, but sarcopenia was not associated with adverse perioperative outcomes. In select patients, elective colectomy for diverticulitis can be safely performed in the presence of sarcopenia.
