AWGC2023 cachexia consensus as a valuable tool for predicting prognosis and burden in Chinese patients with cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Asian Working Group for Cachexia (AWGC) proposed the first consensus report on diagnostic criteria for cachexia in Asians in 2023. However, the current consensus lacks cohort evidence to validate its effectiveness and practicality. We aimed to explore the value of the AWGC2023 criteria for predicting the prognosis and medical burden of patients with cancer through a retrospective post hoc cross-sectional analysis of the Investigation on Nutrition Status and its Clinical Outcome of Common Cancers (INSCOC) project in China.

Methods

Cox regression analyses were performed to assess the independent association between cachexia and long-term survival. We utilized C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), inflammatory burden index (IBI), albumin
