Diagnostic utility of the preoperative cachexia index for malnutrition in colorectal cancer: A prospective cohort study. Chawrylak, et al 70 adult colorectal cancer patients
undergoing right/left hemicolectomy, sigmoidectomy, anterior resection of the rectum, transanal minimally invasive surgery, or abdominosacral amputation of the rectum.
fasting patients underwent BIA to derive Skeletal Muscle Index;
nutritional assessments were collected with questionnaires;
venous blood samples were drawn to determine serum albumin, lymphocyte, and neutrophil counts.
Cachexia Index (CXI) calculation:
Skeletal Muscle Index * Serum Albumin Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio CXI is an objective, non-invasive tool for assessing nutritional status and inflammation in colorectal cancer patients
Routine CXI monitoring could guide personalized nutritional interventions and improve outcomes CXI malnutrition detection:
100% sensitivity and 60% specificity (cutoff ≤ 12.09, AUC = 0.80; 95% CI : 0.69-0.89; p=0.0001)
Median CXI Malnourished vs Non-Malnourished:
9.5 vs 14.9 (p=0.0262)
CXI correlation:
Albumin (rho=0.23; p<0.001)
NRI (rho=0.50; p<0.001)
BMI (rho=0.26; p=0.0267)
Phase Angel (rho=0.28; p=0.0189) colon: 14.2 caecum: 8.2 rectum: 11.6 sigmoid colon: 22.2 Median CXI in specified tumors<br>
