Brief Summary: This study aims to characterise acute changes in muscle mass, strength, physical performance in hospitalised older adults. We will assess the impact of these changes upon physical function at three month follow-up, and assess for the impact of clinical and immune-endocrine factors upon these changes.
Detailed Description: Study Design

Time-limited cohort study involving serial measurements of Bilateral Anterior Thigh Thickness (BATT) using ultrasound, handgrip strength, physical performance, and physical function measured using the Patient Reported Outcome Measures Information System (PROMISĀ®). We aim to fully characterise changes in these patients, and will perform a comprehensive evaluation of clinical factors including nutrition and physical activity, and measure immune-endocrine markers of inflammation.

Study Participants

Elective colorectal surgery, emergency abdominal surgery, and medical patients aged 70 years and older

Planned Size of recruitment target

56 elective colorectal patients, 56 emergency abdominal surgery patients, and 56 medical patients with acute infections

Follow up duration

3 months

Primary research question

Does acute change in quadriceps muscle thickness, handgrip strength and/or physical performance within one week of hospitalisation predict change in patient reported physical function at three months?
