Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment as a prognosis tool in patients with multiple myeloma
Abstract Objective Disease-related weight loss is relatively common in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, but there are limited data about the impact of nutritional status on survival.

Summary: | Abstract Objective Disease-related weight loss is relatively common in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, but there are limited data about the impact of nutritional status on survival. Methods Using the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) score, we retrospectively explored the effect of malnutrition on the survival of Asian patients with multiple myeloma. Results Two hundred sixteen myeloma patients were subdivided into three groups based on their PG-SGA scores. Twenty-three percent of patients (50/216) had PG-SGA scores ≥9, indicating severe malnutrition requiring specialist nutrition intervention. Body mass index and serum hemoglobin were independently associated with PG-SGA scores ( p |
