Predicting 3- and 6-month survival for advanced cancer patients on home parenteral nutrition: A nomogram
Clinical Nutrition(2018)
Abstract
We describe the largest cohort of Home Parenteral Nutrition (HPN) patients with advanced cancer in the UK in order to identify factors affecting prognosis and develop a nomogram. Data was collected retrospectively for all patients receiving HPN between 01/01/2006 to 15/10/2016. Demographic, anthropometric, biochemical and medical factors, Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS), Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), and PN requirements were recorded. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed including Kaplan-Meier curves, Cox Regression and correlation analyses.
