Validating the use of bioimpedance spectroscopy for assessment of fluid status in children.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) with a whole-body model to distinguish excess fluid from major body tissue hydration can provide objective assessment of fluid status. BIS is integrated into the Body Composition Monitor (BCM) and is validated in adults, but not children. This study aimed to (1) assess agreement between BCM-measured total body water (TBW) and a gold standard technique in healthy children, (2) compare TBW_BCM with TBW from Urea Kinetic Modelling (UKM) in haemodialysis children and (3) investigate systematic deviation from zero in measured excess fluid in healthy children across paediatric age range.

Methods

TBW_BCM and excess fluid was determined from standard wrist-to-ankle BCM measurement. TBW_D2O was determined from deuterium concentration decline in serial urine samples over 5 days in healthy children. UKM was used to measure body water in children receiving haemodialysis. Agreement between methods was analysed using paired t test and Bland-Altman method comparison.

Results

In 61 healthy children (6-14 years, 32 male), mean TBW_BCM and TBW_D2O were 21.1?±?5.6 and 20.5?±?5.8 L respectively. There was good agreement between TBW_BCM and TBW_D2O (R²?=?0.97). In six haemodialysis children (4-13 years, 4 male), 45 concomitant measurements over 8 months showed good TBW_BCM and TBW_UKM agreement (mean difference -?0.4 L, 2SD?=?±?3.0 L). In 634 healthy children (2-17 years, 300 male), BCM-measured overhydration was -?0.1?±?0.7 L (10-90th percentile -?0.8 to?+?0.6 L). There was no correlation between age and OH (p?=?0.28).

Conclusions

These results suggest BCM can be used in children as young as 2 years to measure normally hydrated weight and assess fluid status.

Project description:Background: Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) demonstrates proficiency in early identification of breast cancer treatment-related lymphedema (BCRL) development. Dual-tab electrodes were designed for consistent and easy electrode placement, however, single-tab electrodes positioned to mimic dual-tab placement on the body may make BIS technology more accessible in community hospitals and outpatient settings. The purpose of this study is to evaluate use of single-tab electrodes for BIS measurements and assess whether single-tab electrodes provide consistent BIS measurements in controls and patients with BCRL. Methods and Results: Upper limb BIS ratios were obtained using ImpediMed L-Dex® U400 in controls (n = 13; age = 23-75 years; 9 repeated measurements) using dual-tab and single-tab electrodes. BCRL patients (n = 17; Stage = 1.65 ± 0.49; number nodes removed = 16.3 ± 7.7; age = 50.9 ± 10.6 years; age range = 33-77 years) and healthy controls (n = 19) were evaluated to determine if single-tab electrodes provided discriminatory capacity for detecting BCRL. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), linear mixed-effects models, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, and linear regression with two-sided p-values <0.05 required for significance were applied. Single-tab electrodes were found to be statistically interchangeable with dual-tab electrodes (ICC = 0.966; 95% confidence interval = 0.937-0.982). No evidence of differences in single-tab versus dual-tab measurements were found for L-Dex ratios (p = 0.74) from the linear mixed-effects model. Repeated trials involving reuse of the same electrodes revealed a trend toward increases in L-Dex ratio for both styles of electrodes. Single-tab electrodes were significant (p < 0.0001) for discriminating between BCRL and control subjects. Conclusion: Findings expand upon the potential use of BIS in clinic and research settings and suggest that readily available single-tab electrodes provide similar results as dual-tab electrodes for BIS measurements.
