Validation of the scored Patient‐Generated Subjective Global Assessment Short Form as a prognostic tool for incurable cancer patients

Abstract: Background:The Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment Short Form (PG-SGA SF) is a standardized tool for assessing nutrition risk in patients with cancer.The aim of this study was to propose and validate a cutoff point for the PG-SGA SF related to the prognosis of patients with incurable cancer in exclusive palliative care. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of patients with incurable cancer at the National Cancer Institute in Brazil. A total sample (n = 2,144) was randomly divided into groups:… Show more

“…Regarding the PG‐SGA SF score, our median values were similar to those found in other studies with patients with incurable cancer 9,36 . This could be explained by the progression of the disease, which leads to increased systemic inflammatory response and consequently more significant nutritional impact symptoms and worse functionality, 37 which are important PG‐SGA SF domains, yielding higher scores.…”

“…Nutritional screening is important in incurable cancer as these patients are more susceptible to nutritional risk; 5 however, these patients are also known to have different expected OS 9 . Considering that stratifying patients with incurable cancer into two single groups by PG‐SGA SF may lead to an oversimplification in nutritional risk assessments and that systemic inflammatory response is one of the recognized etiological factors of nutritional disorders in patients with cancer, our findings suggest that supplementing the PG‐SGA SF with GPS was important for increment the accuracy of the algorithm and better distinguishing the four degrees of nutritional risk.…”

“…A validated abridged version, the PG-SGA Short Form, completed by patients in less than 5 minutes, allows for quick identification and prioritization of malnutrition in cancer patients. It is important to note that the short form of the PG-SGA has demonstrated value in prognostication, of several patient populations with cancer including elderly oncology patients ( 20 ); ambulatory patients receiving chemotherapy; patients with cervical cancer ( 21 ); and palliative care patients ( 22 ). Additionally, the Head and Neck patient symptom checklist (HNSC) is a comprehensive NIS assessment tool evaluating total symptom burden in patients with HNC.…”
