Objective: Phase angle (PhA), by bioelectrical impedance analysis, has been used in patients with several diseases; however, its prognostic value in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) and hepatobiliary-pancreatic (HBP) cancer is unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of PhA on postoperative short- outcomes and long-term survival in these patients.
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed data from 501 patients with GI and HBP cancers who underwent first resection surgery. The data were divided into the following groups according to the preoperative PhA quartile values by sex: high-PhA group with the highest quartile (Q4), normal-PhA group with middle quartiles (Q3 and Q2), and low-PhA group with the lowest quartile (Q1). Preoperative nutritional statuses, postoperative short-term outcomes during hospitalization, and 5-y survival between three groups were compared. Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the prognostic effect of PhA.
Results: PhA positively correlated with body weight, skeletal muscle mass, and handgrip strength, and negatively correlated with age and levels of C-reactive protein. The low-PhA group showed a higher prevalence of malnutrition (48%) than normal-PhA (25%), and high-PhA groups (9%; P < 0.001). The incidence of postoperative severe complications was 10% for all patients (14% in low-PhA, 12% in normal-PhA, and 4% in high-PhA; P = 0.018). The incidence of prolonged stays in a postoperative high-care or intensive care unit was 8% in all patients (16% in low-PhA, 8% in normal-PhA, and 2% in high-PhA; P < 0.001). The 5-y survival rate was 74% in all patients (68% in low-PhA, 74% in normal-PhA, and 79% in high-PhA; P < 0.001). The multivariate analysis demonstrated that a low-PhA group was an independent risk factor for mortality (hazard ratio, 1.99; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-3.90; P = 0.034).
Conclusion: PhA is a useful short-term and long-term postoperative prognostic marker for patients with GI and HBP cancers.

Phase angle (PhA) is an indicator of nutritional status. The association between PhA and all-cause mortality has been confirmed in older adults, but no relevant studies have been conducted in adults aged 18-49 years. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between PhA and all-cause mortality in adults aged 18-49 years.

The aim of this study is to verify the correlation between hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Ht) levels with phase angle (PhA) values in patients with cancer of the gastrointestinal tract and accessory digestive organs. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 82 patients (38 females/44 males) diagnosed with cancer of gastrointestinal tract and accessory organs of digestion. Hb (g/dL) and Ht (%) levels were assessed by the cyanomethemoglobin and microhematocrit methods, respectively.

To investigate the correlation of body composition indices with exercise capacity and nutritional status in male chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. The clinical data of 90 male COPD patients admitted to the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January 2021 to September 2022 were retrospectively collected, and the patients were subjected to a pulmonary function test, body composition measurement, 6-minute walking test distance (6MWD) test, and dominant handgrip strength measurement (HGS). The patients were categorized into COPD Global Initiative for COPD (GOLD) grade 1, 2, 3 and 4 groups according to the severity of lung function.

Background: Phase angle (PhA) is a variable obtained from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). It is highly sensitive and specific and is commonly used in clinical nutrition assessment. Recently, PhA has shown promise in predicting clinical outcomes, especially as a new indicator of mortality, but its use in pediatric research is limited.

Background & Aims: This study aimed to investigate the effects of low phase angle (PhA) on functional status and discharge disposition during the acute phase in older patients with acute stroke.
Methods: We included consecutive patients who experienced acute stroke between October 2021 and December 2022. The exclusion criteria included: age<65 years, admission from other than home, death during hospitalization, inability to measure bioelectrical impedance analysis owing to implantation, and missing data.
