Handgrip Strength (HGS) With HGS Asymmetry Are Associated With All-cause Mortality and Hospital Readmissions
Completed
- Conditions
- Gastric Cancer
- Interventions
- Other: No intervention
- Registration Number
- NCT05397444
- Lead Sponsor
- Nanjing Medical University
- Brief Summary
Adding the handgrip strength (HGS) asymmetry to the existing measurements of low HGS may improve the assessment of muscle function.
- Detailed Description
We sought to explore the associations between maximal HGS with HGS asymmetry and mortality, hospital readmissions, total complications, and prolonged length of stay (PLOS) among elderly patients with gastric cancer.
