Values of hemoglobin levels according to predefined groups
| All | Cachectic | Non-cachectic | p-value (C vs. NC) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All |
12.53 (+/−2.1) |
11.73 (+/−2.0) |
12.90 (+/−2.0) |
p = 0.039* |
| Hematological |
12.70 (+/−2.3) |
11.20 (+/−2.2) |
13.27 (+/−2.0) |
p = 0.003* |
| Non-hematological |
12.38 (+/−1.9) |
12.09 (+/−1.8) |
12.53 (+/−2.0) |
p = 0.27 |
| p-value (H vs. NH) | p = 0.33 | p = 0.16 | p = 0.07 |
Abbreviations H = hematological, NH = non-hematological, C = cachectic, NC = non-cachectic. Values of hemoglobin levels are in g/dl. *statistically significant.
