Malnutrition Is High and Underestimated During Chemotherapy in Gastrointestinal Cancer: An AGEO Prospective Cross-Sectional Multicenter Study
Abstract
Although malnutrition is known to be frequent in cancer patients, it has not been described in a selected population of patients with gastrointestinal malignancies under chemotherapy only. Physician judgment about malnutrition and risk factors for malnutrition were also evaluated. All consecutive in- and outpatients of 11 centers were prospectively enrolled in a cross-sectional 14-day period study and classified according to the French health recommendations [Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS)]. Among 313 patients enrolled in 11 centers (mean age = 63 yr; range = 21-93; 67% male) mainly with colorectal (58%), pancreatic (15%), gastric (11%), and hepatobiliary (10%) primary tumors, the prevalence of malnutrition was 52%. Moderate and severe malnutrition was present in 27% and 25% of cases, respectively. Physicians considered it in 36% and 6% of cases, respectively, thereby misclassifying 134 patients (43%). The agreement between the HAS definition and the physicians' judgment was very low (κ = 0.30). Most of the patients who were identified as severely malnourished received no nutritional support. Performance status and pancreatic and gastric cancers were independently associated with malnutrition. Malnutrition levels are high, around 50%, unequally distributed according to the primitive tumor. It is still underestimated by physicians. Weight loss remains a clinically relevant, simple, and reliable marker of malnutrition.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
