Analyse lichaamssamenstelling m.b.v. computertomografie scans: Standard Operating Procedures Open
Analyse van CT-scans wordt gebruikt in de analyse van lichaamssamenstelling. Uit onderzoek is gebleken dat de coupe ter hoogte van lumbale wervel 3 het beste overeenkomt met skeletspiermassa. De anatomie op dat niveau kan tussen personen v…

Validity of the “Rate‐a‐Plate” Method to Estimate Energy and Protein Intake in Acutely Ill, Hospitalized Patients Open
Background Prevalence of malnutrition in hospitals has been reported around 20% and increases during hospitalization. The “Rate‐a‐Plate” method has been developed to monitor dietary intake and identify patients whose nutrition status deter…

Cancer Cachexia: Identification by Clinical Assessment versus International Consensus Criteria in Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Open
The agreement between cancer cachexia identification by clinical assessment vs. Fearon criteria was slight. Further improvement of cachexia criteria is necessary to identify cachectic patients at risk of poorer outcomes, who may benefit fr…

The Effect of Myopenia on the Inflammatory Response Early after Colorectal Surgery Open
Myopenia may affect IL-8 early after colorectal surgery. However, more studies are needed to validate these findings.

Higher Muscle Strength Is Associated with Prolonged Survival in Older Patients with Advanced Cancer Open
Background Identifying predictors of treatment toxicity and overall survival (OS) is important for selecting patients who will benefit from chemotherapy. In younger patients with cancer, muscle mass and radiodensity are associated with tre…

The influence of different muscle mass measurements on the diagnosis of cancer cachexia Open
Background Progressive loss of muscle mass is a major characteristic of cancer cachexia. Consensus definitions for cachexia provide different options to measure muscle mass. This study describes the effect of different methods to determine…

Skeletal muscle analyses: agreement between non‐contrast and contrast <span>CT</span> scan measurements of skeletal muscle area and mean muscle attenuation Open
Summary Low skeletal muscle area ( SMA ) and muscle radiation attenuation ( MRA ) have been associated with poor prognosis in various patient populations. Both non‐contrast and contrast CT scans are used to determine SMA and MRA . The effe…

Plasma Ghrelin Levels Are Associated with Anorexia but Not Cachexia in Patients with NSCLC Open
Background and Aims: The ghrelin receptor is one of the new therapeutic targets in the cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome. Previous studies revealed that plasma ghrelin levels were high in patients with anorexia nervosa and low in obese sub…

Prediction model to predict critical weight loss in patients with head and neck cancer during (chemo)radiotherapy Open
Critical weight loss during (C)RT was prevalent in half of HNC patients. To predict critical weight loss, a practical prediction tree for adequate nutritional advice was developed, including the risk factors RT to the neck, higher RT dose,…
