This study aimed to clarify the knowledge and practice of cachexia care and identify factors related to the practice of cachexia care among pharmacists. Information on the knowledge and practice of cachexia care was obtained. Components of practicing multimodal care were evaluated. Participants were categorized into two groups according to practicing multimodal care levels. Comparisons were made between the groups, and multiple regression analysis was employed. Of the 451 pharmacists, 243 responded. They were categorized into the Practicing group (n = 119) and Not practicing group (n = 124). Significant differences were observed for the number of advanced cancer patients\/month, frequency of caring for them, and involvement in training programs on cachexia. The Practicing group had significantly better knowledge about cachexia. The Practicing group used guidelines, items, and symptoms more frequently to detect cachexia. The Practicing group tended to detect cachexia and initiate interventions in earlier phases and in patients with a better status. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the most significant factor was the regular provision of care (odds ratio, 2.07; 95% confidence interval, 1.10\u20133.92). The regular provision of care was associated with the practice of multimodal care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/curroncol31100457","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,17]],"date-time":"2024-10-17T11:19:18Z","timestamp":1729163958000},"page":"6133-6143","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Factors Associated with Multimodal Care Practices for Cancer Cachexia among Pharmacists"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8368-0640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Satomi","family":"Okamura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Innovation, Osaka University Hospital, 2-2 Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka 565-0871, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1779-6389","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Koji","family":"Amano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Supportive and Palliative Care, Osaka International Cancer Institute, 3-1-69 Otemae, Chuo-ku, Osaka 541-8567, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6784-8706","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saori","family":"Koshimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Care Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Science Tokyo, 1-5-45 Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8519, Japan"},{"name":"Faculty of Human Nutrition, Department of Human Nutrition, Tokyo Kasei Gakuin University, 22 Sanban-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 102-8341, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-3844-2512","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sayaka","family":"Arakawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Palliative Medicine, National Cancer Center Hospital, 5-1-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-0045, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0800-2161","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hiroto","family":"Ishiki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Palliative Medicine, National Cancer Center Hospital, 5-1-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-0045, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eriko","family":"Satomi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Palliative Medicine, National Cancer Center Hospital, 5-1-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-0045, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tatsuya","family":"Morita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Palliative and Supportive Care Division, Seirei Mikatahara General Hospital, 3453 Mikatahara-cho, Kita-ku, Hamamatsu 433-8558, Shizuoka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takashi","family":"Takeuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Liaison Psychiatry and Psycho-Oncology Unit, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, 1-5-45 Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8510, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naoharu","family":"Mori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Palliative and Supportive Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Aichi Medical University, 1-1 Yazakokarimata, Nagakute 480-1195, Aichi, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomomi","family":"Yamada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Innovation, Osaka University Hospital, 2-2 Yamadaoka, Suita, Osaka 565-0871, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"489","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(10)70218-7","article-title":"Definition and classification of cancer cachexia: An international consensus","volume":"12","author":"Fearon","year":"2011","journal-title":"Lancet Oncol."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17105","DOI":"10.1038\/nrdp.2017.105","article-title":"Cancer-associated cachexia","volume":"4","author":"Baracos","year":"2018","journal-title":"Nat.
