AbstractHypoalbuminemia is associated with morbidity and mortality in critically ill children. In this multi-centre retrospective study, we aimed to determine normative values of serum albumin in neonates and infants with congenital heart disease, evaluate perioperative changes in albumin levels, and determine if low serum albumin influences post-operative outcomes. Consecutive eligible neonates and infants who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass at one of three medical centres, January 2012–August 2013, were included. Data on serum albumin levels from five data points (pre-operative, 0–24, 24–48, 48–72, 72 hours post-operative) were collected. Median pre-operative serum albumin level was 2.5 g/dl (IQR, 2.1–2.8) in neonates versus 4 g/dl (IQR, 3.5–4.4) in infants. Hypoalbuminemia was defined as <25th percentile of these values. A total of 203 patients (126 neonates, 77 infants) were included in the study. Post-operative hypoalbuminemia developed in 12% of neonates and 20% of infants; 97% occurred in the first 48 hours. In multivariable analysis, perioperative hypoalbuminemia was not independently associated with any post-operative morbidity. However, when analysed as a continuous variable, lower serum albumin levels were associated with increased post-operative morbidity. Pre-operative low serum albumin level was independently associated with increased odds of post-operative hypoalbuminemia (OR, 3.67; 95% CI, 1.01–13.29) and prolonged length of hospital stay (RR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.08–1.82). Lower 0–24-hour post-operative serum albumin level was independently associated with an increased duration of mechanical ventilation (RR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.12–1.64). Future studies should further assess hypoalbuminemia in this population, with emphasis on evaluating clinically meaningful cut-offs and possibly the use of serum albumin levels in perioperative risk stratification models.

The purpose of this study was to explore the nutritional status of nursing home residents. A convenience sample of 111 residents from four nursing homes in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, was recruited. The residents’ nutritional status was assessed on the basis of body mass index (BMI) and serum albumin level. Data on demographic characteristics, cognitive function, activities of daily living, and mode of feeding were collected and examined for association with nutritional status. Among the subjects, 41.1% had a BMI of less than 18.5 kg/m2 and 18.9% had a serum albumin level of less than 3.5 g/dl. Mode of feeding was a significant predictor of malnutrition. When compared with residents on oral feedings, those on nasogastric (NG) feedings had four times the risk of a low BMI and about eight times the risk of a low albumin level. In conclusion, it is important to regularly assess the physical function and nutritional status of nursing home residents and adjust their dietary intake accordingly.

Abstract Background Objective deterioration in activities of daily living (ADLs) exists among older people, and particularly worsens with age. Considering the criterion standard of positive aging and longevity, little information focusing on centenarians is available. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between serum albumin and ADLs among centenarians in long-lived areas. Methods This population-based cross-sectional study investigated a complete sample of Chinese persons aged ≥100 years in Hainan, the longest-lived area of China (n=1002). We assessed serum albumin levels and basic and instrumental activities of daily living (BADLs and IADLs). Results Of 1002 participants included in the analysis, 287 (28.64%) had BADL disabilities and 648 (64.67%) had IADL disabilities. The median serum albumin level was 38.5 g/L (interquartile range, 36.2–41.3). The multivariable analyses controlling for socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle, morbidities, and other influential factors showed that albumin level was associated with the total score of BADL ( standard β=0.335, P<0.001) and IADL ( standard β=0.206, P<0.001). With the increasing of albumin level, the risk of ADLs disability decreased (BADL: odds ratios [OR] = 0.835, 95% Confidence interval [CI]: 0.797-0.876; IADL: OR=0.863, 95%CI: 0.824-0.905). In the stratified analyses, similar results were found in both sex, but were more prominent in women. Conclusions Higher levels of serum albumin was a protective factor for the decline of ADLs in centenarians. This association can be observed in both genders and is more pronounced in women.
