NRS2002-stratified body composition and laboratory characteristics in hospitalized cancer patients assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis (opens in new tab)

ObjectiveThe body composition and laboratory characteristics underlying Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002)-defined nutritional risk in hospitalized patients with cancer remain insufficiently described.MethodsThis single-center retrospective cross-sectional study included 998 hospitalized patients with cancer. Nutritional risk was defined as NRS2002 ≥3. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) parameters and laboratory indicators related to inflammation and nutritional status were compare...
