摘要
背景:恶病质是一种以体重和肌肉减少为特征的多因素综合征,通常与营养不良和炎症有关。几乎40%的结直肠癌(CRC)患者营养不良,导致手术结果更差、发病率更高和死亡率增加。本研究评价恶病质指数(Cachexia Index, CXI)在CRC患者营养不良检测中的应用价值。患者和方法:70例(男性54.3%;中位年龄65岁)在手术前进行了生物电阻抗分析、血液检查和营养评估。患者于2023年11月1日至2024年10月30日期间招募。CXI计算方法为[骨量指数×血清白蛋白]/中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值,与主观总体评价进行比较。结果:中位CXI为13.7(范围:1.9-53.8),营养不良或高危患者的中位CXI值明显较低(9.5 vs. 14.9;P = 0.0262)。肿瘤位置也影响CXI;乙状结肠肿瘤患者的中位CXI最高,盲肠肿瘤患者的中位CXI最低(22.2 vs 8.2;p = 0.0202)。CXI检测营养不良的灵敏度为100%,特异性为60%,截止值≤12.09 (AUC = 0.80;95% ci: 0.69-0.89;结论:这些发现支持CXI作为CRC患者营养不良的可靠、无创生物标志物,在个性化营养和治疗护理中具有潜在的应用前景。
Diagnostic utility of the preoperative cachexia index for malnutrition in colorectal cancer: A prospective cohort study.
Background: Cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome characterized by weight and muscle loss, often linked to malnutrition and inflammation. Malnutrition affects almost 40 % of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, contributing to worse surgical outcomes, higher morbidity, and increased mortality. This study evaluates the Cachexia Index (CXI) for malnutrition detection in CRC patients.
Patients and methods: Seventy patients (54.3 % men; median age 65) underwent bioelectrical impedance analysis, blood tests, and nutritional assessments before surgery. Patients were recruited between November 1, 2023, and October 30, 2024. CXI, calculated as [Skeletal Mass Index × Serum Albumin]/Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte-Ratio, was compared with the Subjective Global Assessment.
Results: The median CXI was 13.7 (range: 1.9-53.8), with malnourished or at-risk patients exhibiting significantly lower median CXI values (9.5 vs. 14.9; p = 0.0262) than well-nourished individuals. Tumor location also influenced CXI; patients with sigmoid colon tumors had the highest median CXI, while those with caecum tumors had the lowest (22.2 vs. 8.2; p = 0.0202). CXI demonstrated 100 % sensitivity and 60 % specificity for malnutrition detection, with a cutoff of ≤12.09 (AUC = 0.80; 95 % CI: 0.69-0.89; p < 0.0001). Malnourished patients had a significantly lower median CXI (9.5 vs. 14.9; p = 0.0262).
Conclusions: These findings support CXI as a reliable, non-invasive biomarker for malnutrition in CRC patients, with potential applications in personalized nutritional and therapeutic care.
