Barthel Index-based functional status as a prognostic factor in young and middle-aged adults with newly diagnosed gastric colorectal and lung cancer: a multicentre retrospective cohort study

摘要

Functional status assessments of activities of daily living may improve prognostic precision during initial diagnostic evaluations in young and middle-aged adults with cancer. However, the association between pretreatment functional status and survival in these patients is poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of functional status in young and middle-aged patients with cancer.
