Effects of sarcopenia and malnutrition on morbidity and mortality in gynecologic cancer surgery: results of a prospective study.

We observed that preoperatively assessed ECOG status > 1, BMI > 25 kg, as well as phase angle alpha < 4.75° and FIGO stage ≥ III A are significantly associated with severe postoperative complications within the first month. Whereas ECOG status > 1, hypoalbuminemia, phase angle < 4.5° as well as FIGO stage ≥ III A and severe postoperative complications within 30 days correlate significantly with poor overall survival.
