The CXI was calculated as follows: skeletal muscle index (SMI) \u00d7 serum albumin concentration (g\/dL) \/ neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). Patients were dichotomized according to sex-specific lowest quartile cutoff values (61.6 for men and 49.2 for women). The impact of the CXI on overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and the recurrence patterns was studied. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify any independent predictive factors for a poor survival.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A low CXI was significantly associated with advanced age (\u2265\u200965 years), a higher comorbidity burden, an advanced pathological stage, and a higher incidence of postoperative complications. Patients in the low-CXI group had a significantly poorer OS than those in the high-CXI group (5-year OS: 63.4% vs. 78.5%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), with a consistently inferior survival across pathological stages I-III. A low CXI was also significantly associated with a poorer DFS (5-year DFS: 61.0% vs. 76.7%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Among the patients with stage II\/III disease, hematogenous recurrence occurred more frequently in the low-CXI group than in the high-CXI group (13.6% vs. 6.9%,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.026). A multivariate analysis revealed that a low CXI was an independent predictor of a poor OS (HR 1.58, 95% CI: 1.20\u20132.07,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.001).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The CXI is useful for predicting the survival outcomes of GC patients, irrespective of tumor stage.
