Charlson co‐morbidity index score provides a simple means to quantify the effect of co‐morbid illnesses, including cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, liver disease, and diabetes mellitus, among others and accounts for the aggregate effect if multiple concurrent diseases. A higher score indicates more co‐morbidities.

BMI, body mass index; BSA, body surface area; ECOG PS, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status; OR, odds ratio; SD, standard deviation; SMD, skeletal muscle density; SMM, skeletal muscle mass.
