Combined test of third lumbar skeletal muscle index and prognostic nutrition index improve prognosis prediction power in resected colorectal cancer liver metastasis
Figure 4. CRLM Patients with gain or loss of SMI was distributed in 3 months (A), 6 months (C) and 12 months’ (E) post-operation. Accordingly, prognostic value of loss of SMI with different post operative CT scan was determined. Patients with different SMI status from 3 months’ (B) scan haven’t demonstrated any survival difference (P=0.061), while patients with different SMI status 6 months’ (D) and 12 months’ (F) SMI results had different survival outcome (P-value<0.001). CRLM, colorectal cancer liver metastasis; SMI, skeletal muscle index; CT, computed tomography.
