Baseline clinical characteristics, values expressed as n (%).

Body composition and function, values given as median (IQR), unless state otherwise.
Fig 1.
Appendicular muscle mass in each subset was shown with a p-value of Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
The median was presented as the black line. The top and bottom of each box indicated the upper and lower quartiles of the samples and the bars represented the minimum and maximum values. M, metastasis; PD, progressive disease.

Simple and multiple linear regression analysis using appendicular muscle mass as the dependent variable.

Association between appendicular muscle mass and hemoglobin level (a) and handgrip strength (b).
The grey area indicates the 95% confidence interval.
Fig 3.
Patients with appendicular muscle mass of ≥ 19.0 kg (quartile four, highest amount of muscle mass) had a significantly longer overall survival compared with those with low appendicular muscle (quartiles one to three); HR 0.46, 95% CI 0.22–0.95, p = 0.037.
