Figure 1.
Comparison of survival rate between the hypermetabolic group and the normal metabolic group in all patients (a), the normal-weight group (b), the malnutrition group (c). Kaplan–Meier analyses and the log-rank test showed there was no difference in all patients (p = 0.53); however, the hypermetabolic group had a significantly shorter survival time in the normal-weight group (p = 0.009) and longer survival time in the malnutrition group (p = 0.066), although the difference was not significant.
