GLIM-defined Malnutrition Criteria for Postoperative Outcomes in Patients With Esophagogastric Cancer

Completed

• Conditions: Cancer of Esophagus; Cancer of Stomach; Malnutrition; Muscle Loss

• Registration Number: NCT05088304
• Lead Sponsor: Jinling Hospital, China

Brief Summary

The present study aims to investigate the prognostic value of preoperative fat-free mass index for postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing esophagogastric cancer surgery, and to explore the role of the FFMI in the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria.

Detailed Description

The GLIM criteria of malnutrition as a consensus lack of optimal combination in clinical validation. After the publication of the GLIM consensus, few studies have examined the effect of reduced FFMI on the clinical prognosis of patients with esophagogastric cancer, and whether the FFMI can be used as an effective diagnostic criterion of malnutrition in esophagogastric cancer needs to be further studied.

Therefore, the present study aims were to investigate the prognostic value of preoperative fat-free mass index for postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing esophagogastric cancer surgery, and to explore the role of the FFMI in the GLIM consensus for malnutrition.
