| 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.
