EWGSOP2 versus EWGSOP1 for sarcopenia to predict prognosis in patients with gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy: Analysis from a large-scale prospective study

摘要

Background: In 2010, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) reached a consensus on sarcopenia (EWGSOP1). In 2018, the EWGSOP met again (EWGSOP2) to update original definition of sarcopenia. This study aimed to investigate the association of sarcopenia and survival and compare the prognostic effects of sarcopenia as defined by EWGSOP1 and EWGSOP2 after gastrectomy.
