Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic consistency between the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) for identifying malnutrition in patients with pancreatic malignant tumors. The goal is to determine if the GLIM criteria, a newer and more streamlined tool, shows substantial agreement with the well-established PG-SGA, thereby supporting its use in this high-risk clinical population.

- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Nutritional Assessment Cohort
- description
- A single cohort of patients with pancreatic cancer and nutritional risk (NRS 2002 ≥ 3) who underwent comprehensive nutritional assessment using both the GLIM criteria and the PG-SGA to evaluate the diagnostic consistency between the two tools. All participants in this arm receive all listed diagnostic procedures.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Diagnostic Consistency between GLIM Criteria and PG-SGA
- timeFrame
- Assessed once within 24 hours of hospital admission.
- description
- The consistency in diagnosing malnutrition (yes/no) between the GLIM criteria and the PG-SGA was assessed. The agreement was quantified using Cohen's kappa coefficient (κ). A kappa value of 0.61-0.80 was interpreted as substantial agreement.
