Fig 2.
Kaplan-Meier-curve for VFR at T0.
Log-rank-test, n = 53. Patients with high VFR (≥1.3; n = 8; continuous line) show a lower median overall survival of 14.6 months than patients with low VFR (<1.3; n = 45; dotted line) with a median overall survival of 45.3 months (p = 0.012).
Fig 3.
Kaplan-Meier-curve for difference in SMI150 from T0 to T2.
Log-rank-test, n = 28. Patients with loss of muscle mass (SMI150-difference < 0 cm2/m2; n = 12, continuous line) show a median overall survival of 24.6 months vs. patients with gain of muscle mass (SMI150-difference ≥ 0 cm2/m2, n = 16; dotted line) and a median survival of 50.8 months (p = 0.049).
