Sarcopenia is a muscle disease, characterized by the process of loss of strength and muscle mass, which can cause muscle performance. When present in the elderly, it is associated with a length of hospital stay, hospital mortality, time on mechanical ventilation, longer stays in the intensive care unit and hospital costs. The search for the health of elderly people with cardiovascular diseases who present identification in the identification or risk of diagnosis of sarcopenia or risk to develop being precocious. This study will demonstrate relevant in terms of baseline studies of hospitalization that may serve for the development of public health policies with the aim of improving clinical outcomes - in the population, in addition to minimizing the impacts of hospitalization and the population. OBJECTIVE: To Investigate the association of sarcopenia with clinical outcomes (length of stay, rate of mechanical ventilation use and hospital mortality rate) of elderly people with cardiovascular diseases. METHODS: observational, longitudinal and prospective, which were calculated with a sample of 121 elderly (estimated by sample calculation) aged ≥ 60 years, with cardiovascular diseases admitted, able to cooperate with the evaluations. The cooperation screening will be perform using the Standardized Five Questions (S5Q). Upon admission, an assessment of muscle strength by means of handgrip dynamometry (Handgrip Strength -HGS), muscle mass (bioelectrical impedance – BIA e calf circumference – CC) and physical performance (gait speed test). Length of stay, hospital use of mechanical ventilation and mechanical ventilation do not monitor the health service's electronic medical record system (MV PEP Soul e TrackCare). Data analysis will be descriptive and using Pearson's correlation test and simple and multiple linear and logistic regression analyzes (α = 0.05). EXPECTED RESULTS: It is expect to identify an association between the diagnosis of sarcopenia and sarcopenia parameters with length of hospital stay, use of mechanical ventilation and a negative outcome of hospital mortality. Thus, raising genuine data that will be present to managers for the implementation of possible improvements in the quality of hospital care.
