Abstract

|
Purpose : The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between grip strength and pulmonary function in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Methods : Twenty patients who had been clinically diagnosed with AML were included in this study. We measured the patients’ grip strength, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1),peak expiratory flow (PEF),and total lung capacity (TLC). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis.
Results : Grip strength showed significant correlations with FVC (r = 0.886, P = 0.000), FEV1 (r=0.845, P=0.000), PEF (r=0.811, P=0.000),and TLC (r=0.757, P=0.000).
Conclusion : Grip strength of patients with AML was positively correlated with pulmonary function.
