Validation of a new prognostic body composition parameter in cancer patients

Estimation errors associated with bioelectric impedance evaluation may affect the accuracy of body composition and its prognostic value. We evaluated the prognostic value of a new body composition parameter (Nutrigram®) obtained from bioimpedance vectorial analysis-derived body cell mass and its ass...

Description
Summary:Estimation errors associated with bioelectric impedance evaluation may affect the accuracy of body composition and its prognostic value. We evaluated the prognostic value of a new body composition parameter (Nutrigram®) obtained from bioimpedance vectorial analysis-derived body cell mass and its association with nutritional and functional status. Data of Italian and German cancer patients observed prospectively until death were used. Multivariable models (adjusted for age, gender, hydration status, performance status, and disease's stage) were built in both cohorts to assess the association between body composition outcome parameters (low fat-free mass [FFM],
