Predictive model for cGVHD malnutritiona

Variable Well nourished (mean ± s.d.) Malnourished (mean ± s.d.) P-value in model
NIH Score lungs 1.03 ± 0.83 1.68 ± 0.96 0.0046
NIH Score GI tract 0.36 ± 0.55 1.15 ± 0.95 0.0005
NIH Score mouth 0.72 ± 0.62 1.18 ± 0.83 0.0116
BMI 26.17 ± 4.01 20.84 ± 4.66 < 0.0001

Abbreviations: cGVHD = chronic GVHD; GI = gastrointestinal tract; NIH = National Institutes of Health. Prediction = −14.096 x NIH score lungs–24.506 x NIH score GI tract–17.597 x NIH score mouth+6.530 x BMI; if prediction ≤100, then prediction of malnourished; if prediction >100, then prediction of well nourished.
