Impact of sarcopenia on clinical outcomes for patients with resected hepatocellular carcinoma: A retrospective comparison of eastern and western cohorts - Impact of sarcopenia on clinical outcomes for patients with resected hepatocellular carcinoma: A retrospective comparison of eastern and western cohorts

The predictive performance of sarcopenia for both short-term and long-term outcomes was higher in JP compared to NL (maximum C-index: 0.58 vs. 0.55, respectively). However, differences between cutoff values were small. For the association between sarcopenia and OS, a strong association was found in JP [hazard ratio (HR) 2.00, 95% CI [1.230-3.08], P =0.002], where this was not found in NL (0.76 [0.42-1.36], P =0.351).
