Handgrip strength and platelet-to-albumin ratio as joint prognostic indicator for patients with cancer cachexia
Background
Handgrip strength (HGS) and platelet-to-albumin ratio (PAR) are established prognostic markers of cancer cachexia. This study evaluates the combined efficacy of HGS and PAR using a single index (HPA) for predicting survival outcomes in cancer patients with cachexia aged ≥18 years.
Methods
The multicenter Nutrition Status and Its Clinical Outcomes in Common Cancers study, conducted from July 2013 to April 2022, enrolled 5189 participants. Thresholds for HGS and PAR were determined using optimal stratification, leading to the development of HPA index. Prognostic accuracy was assessed using time-dependent receiver operating characteristic analysis, Kaplan–Meier survival curves, and Cox proportional hazards models.
Results
The cohort consisted of 3127 men and 2062 women, with a median follow-up of 36 months, and mean age of 58 years. Low HGS thresholds were 19 kg (female) and 31.9 kg (male), and high PAR cut-offs were 9.07 × 10⁹ (female) and 6.52 × 10⁹ (male). Both low HGS and high PAR levels were linked to increased mortality risk. The HPA index showed superior prognostic accuracy (C-index = 0.611; 95% confidence interval: 0.58–0.61; P < 0.001) compared with HGS or PAR alone. Kaplan–Meier analysis indicated significantly reduced survival in patients with low HGS and high PAR.
Conclusions
The HPA index is a clinically significant prognostic tool for cancer cachexia, enhancing survival prediction and guiding patient management.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition has an open access mirror journal Nutrition: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Founded by Michael M. Meguid in the early 1980''s, Nutrition presents advances in nutrition research and science, informs its readers on new and advancing technologies and data in clinical nutrition practice, encourages the application of outcomes research and meta-analyses to problems in patient-related nutrition; and seeks to help clarify and set the research, policy and practice agenda for nutrition science to enhance human well-being in the years ahead.
