Hand Grip Strength and Prognosis in Hospitalized Cancer Patients

NCT07167082 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 130

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This prospective cohort study aims to investigate the relationship between hand grip strength and prognosis in hospitalized cancer patients. Hand grip strength, a simple, rapid, and non-invasive measure of overall muscle function, is increasingly recognized as an indicator of frailty, nutritional status, and physical health. The study will evaluate whether lower hand grip strength is associated with higher short-term mortality (30-day all-cause mortality) and adverse clinical outcomes, including ICU admission, hospital readmission, and functional decline.

Hand Grip Strength Measurement

Hand grip strength will be measured within the first 24 hours of hospitalization using a calibrated hand dynamometer. Measurements will be performed on the dominant hand, with patients seated, following standardized international procedures. Three consecutive measurements will be obtained, and the average value will be recorded. The test is non-invasive, quick, and performed by oncology clinicians trained in the protocol.
