Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Esophagectomy for cancer is often accompanied with severe preoperative weight loss. Body Mass Index (BMI) values are age-independent and the same for both sexes. From the perspective that these two parameters should actually be taken into account too, we developed a model to calculate "age-gender specific BMI-percentiles" (AG-BMI) and tested this model in relation to survival outcome after esophagectomy for cancer.
