Comparison of the C‐index of the inflammatory markers‐based cachexia.
| Discrimination ability | C‐index | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Difference | Difference | P value | |
| CRP‐based cachexia | 0.587 (0.576, 0.598) | Ref | |
| NLR‐based cachexia | 0.584 (0.574, 0.595) | −0.002 (−0.007, 0.004) | 0.512 |
| IBI‐based cachexia | 0.590 (0.579, 0.601) | 0.003 (0.005, 0.006) | 0.024 |
| ALB‐based cachexia | 0.585 (0.574, 0.596) | −0.002 (−0.008, 0.004) | 0.525 |
| GPS‐based cachexia | 0.587 (0.576, 0.597) | −0.000 (−0.004, 0.003) | 0.907 |
