Multiple measures relevant to cachexia, including body mass index (BMI), muscle mass [mid-upper arm muscle circumference (MUAMC)], handgrip strength (HGS), fatigue [Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)], appetite [Functional Assessment of Anorexia\/Cachexia Therapy (FAACT)] and biomarkers [C-reactive protein (CRP), serum albumin, haemoglobin and erythropoietin resistance index (ERI)] were recorded. Baseline analysis included group differences analysed using an independent t-test, dichotomized values using the \u03c72 test and prevalence were reported using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 24 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA).

At baseline, 17 patients were identified as cachectic, having had reported weight loss (e.g. &amp;gt;5% for &amp;gt;6\u2009months) or BMI &amp;lt;20\u2009kg\/m2 and three or more clinical characteristics of cachexia. Seventy patients were available for analysis at 12\u2009months (11 cachectic versus 59 not cachectic). FAACT and urea reduction ratio statistically distinguished cachectic patients (P\u2009=\u20090.001). However, measures of weight, BMI, MUAMC, HGS, CRP, ERI and FACIT tended to worsen in cachectic patients.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Globally, cachexia is a severe but frequently underrecognized problem.
