  1. Hazard ratios (HRs) of survival of cancer patients with sarcopenia were calculated using univariate Cox regression model or multivariate Cox regression model. Each subgroup analysis included ECW/TBW (as a continuous variable) and adjusted for age, sex, tumor stage, tumor type, BMI, PG-SGA, and NLR if not stratified by these variables. ECW/TBW: extracellular water/total body water, PG-SGA: patient-generated subjective global assessment, NLR: neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio
