Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main endpoint of this study is the comparison between classic antropometrical measurements (weight and length) and body composition measurements (fat mass and fat free mass) by their concordance and discordance. We will compare for each child the SD score for weight for age and compare this with SD scores of the body mass indices (fat free mass %). SD scores within the -1SD to +1 SD are considered *optimal* for this purpose. SD scores above the +1SD or below the -1SD are considered not optimal. We will construct 2x2 tables for optimal and non-optimal nutritional status according to weight for age and body composition. The number and percentages of children in each of the four fields of the table, and number and percentages of concordant and discordant results will be calculated. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcome is the absolute mean difference between the anthropometrical and body composition standard deviation score and is calculated for each child. This difference is calculated for each child all are added and divided by the total number of children included. This results in a SD value that reflects the mean additional value of the body composition measurement. We defined a SD value difference of more than 0.5 clinically relevant. For another set of secondary outcomes the results of the middle upper arm measurements (MUAC) are compared to body composition results. The indices fat mass and fat-free mass are compared to MUAC measurements in cm and SD scores (13) and regression analyses are performed. Another secondary outcome is the agreement or differences in body composition parameters of the study population of hospitalized children compared to healthy Dutch children as published in 2020 by Fluiter et al. | — |
