About this study

Official title: The Application Value of Preoperative Fat-free Mass Index Within GLIM-defined Malnutrition Criteria for Postoperative Outcomes in Patients With Esophagogastric Cancer

The present study aims to investigate the prognostic value of preoperative fat-free mass index for postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing esophagogastric cancer surgery, and to explore the role of the FFMI in the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria.

Read the detailed description

The GLIM criteria of malnutrition as a consensus lack of optimal combination in clinical validation. After the publication of the GLIM consensus, few studies have examined the effect of reduced FFMI on the clinical prognosis of patients with esophagogastric cancer, and whether the FFMI can be used as an effective diagnostic criterion of malnutrition in esophagogastric cancer needs to be further studied.

Therefore, the present study aims were to investigate the prognostic value of preoperative fat-free mass index for postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing esophagogastric cancer surgery, and to explore the role of the FFMI in the GLIM consensus for malnutrition.

Study groups in NCT05088304
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
The normal FFMI groupThe FFMI was calculated as follows: FFMI = fat-free mass (kg)/height squared (m2). FFMI cut-off values (derived from BIA measurements, </≥15 kg/m2 for females and </≥17 kg/m2 for males). Patients with esophagogastric cancer were then divided into the normal FFMI group (FFMI ≥17 kg/m2 for male and FFMI ≥15 kg/m2 for female).
Receives: Other: no intervention
The low FFMI groupThe FFMI was calculated as follows: FFMI = fat-free mass (kg)/height squared (m2). FFMI cut-off values (derived from BIA measurements, </≥15 kg/m2 for females and </≥17 kg/m2 for males). Patients with esophagogastric cancer were then divided into the low FFMI group (FFMI <17 kg/m2 for male and FFMI <15 kg/m2 for female).
Receives: Other: no intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer of Stomach and Cancer of Esophagus, run by Jinling Hospital, China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

postoperative complications (time frame: Within 60 days after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Oct 2021.
