Malnutrition Severity, Morphofunctional Assessment, and Survival in Patients with Lung Cancer: A Multicentre Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Malnutrition is common in lung cancer and may contribute to impaired functional status and poor survival. This study evaluated the association between GLIM-defined malnutrition, morphofunctional nutritional parameters, and one-year mortality in patients with lung cancer.

Methods

We conducted a multicentre prospective cohort study including 374 patients with primary lung cancer referred for nutritional and morphofunctional assessment before oncological treatment. Nutritional status was classified according to GLIM criteria. Body composition was assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis, muscle ultrasound, handgrip strength and Timed Up and Go. Associations with severe malnutrition were explored using logistic regression, ROC analyses, and random forest models. One-
