ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of preoperative low body mass index (BMI) on both the short- and long-term outcomes in patients with gastric cancer. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A total of 510 patients with gastric cancer were divided into the following 3 groups low BMI group (≤18.5 kg/m2, n=51), normal BMI group (18.6–24.9 kg/m2, n=308), and high BMI group (≥25.0 kg/m2, n=151).RESULTS:
There were significantly more stage III/IV patients in the low BMI group than in the other groups (P=0.001). Severe postoperative complications were more frequent (P=0.010) and the survival was worse (P < 0.001) in the low BMI group. The subgroup analysis indicated that survival was worse in the low BMI group of the stage I/II subgroup (P=0.008). The severe postoperative complication rate was higher in the low BMI group of the stage III/IV subgroup (P=0.001), although the recurrence rate and survival did not differ in the stage III/IV subgroup among all the BMI groups. Low BMI was an independent poor prognostic factor in the stage I/II subgroup (disease-free survival hazard ratio [HR], 13.521; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.186–154.197; P=0.036 and overall survival HR, 5.130; 95% CI, 1.644–16.010; P=0.005), whereas low BMI was an independent risk factor for severe postoperative complications in the stage III/IV subgroup (HR, 17.158; 95% CI, 1.383–212.940; P=0.027).CONCLUSIONS:
Preoperative low BMI in patients with gastric cancer adversely affects survival among those with stage I/II disease and increases the severe postoperative complication rate among those with stage III/IV disease.
