1 study
  1. Cachexia index predicts one-year mortality in humans (34.2% vs 13.4%, p < 0.01).

    “One-year mortality was also higher in the low versus high cachexia index group (34.2% vs. 13.4%, respectively; p < 0.01).”

1 study
  1. Cachexia index predicts in-hospital mortality in humans (20.0% vs 5.0%, p < 0.01).

    “In-hospital mortality was significantly higher in the low cachexia index group (20.0%) than that in the high cachexia index group (5.0%) (p < 0.01).”
