There are currently too many uncertainties and discrepancies regarding interpretation of
bioimpedance in critical illness, to justify therapeutic consequences. However, there are …

Compared with the phase angle (PA), the predictive ability of the standardized phase angle
(SPA) in assessing nutritional status and clinical outcomes in cancer patients remains …

Background: Phase Angle (PhA) value measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)
could be considered a good marker of the patient's cell mass and cellular damage. Various …

Background and aims Assessment of the raw parameters derived from bioelectrical
impedance analysis (BIA) has gained emphasis in critically ill patients. The phase angle …

Objectives Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is myocardial necrosis resulting from
myocardial ischemia, and its risk factors are usually a combination of the consumption of …

Background No global consensus exists on diagnostic criteria for malnutrition. Muscular
deficits and functional impairments are major components of available malnutrition …

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of bioimpedance
phase angle (PA) on selected clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized in internal-medicine …

Phase angle, obtained by bioelectrical impedance, is an indicator of cellular integrity and
has been proposed as a prognostic parameter in patients who are critically ill. This …

Objective Bioelectrical impedance-derived phase angle (PA) has exhibited good prognostic
values in several non-critical illnesses. However, its predictive value for critically ill patients …

Introduction The use of severity of illness scoring systems, including the Acute Physiology
and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) III score, has made it possible to compare groups …
