Prognostic value of GLIM-defined malnutrition in combination with hand-grip strength or gait speed for the prediction of postoperative outcomes in gastric cancer patients with cachexia

Table 3 Sensitivity and specificity of different malnutrition diagnoses for the prediction of postoperative complications^†

Factors	Sensitivity	Specificity	Accuracy	PPV	NPV
GLIM-defined malnutrition	79.41%	25.98%	41.29%	30.11%	75.86%
GLIM-defined malnutrition + low gait speed	33.33%	79.92%	66.57%	40.00%	74.91%
GLIM-defined malnutrition + low hand-grip strength	46.08%	73.23%	65.45%	40.87%	77.18%

PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value.
^† Postoperative complications classified as Grade II or above by the Clavien-Dindo classification were analyzed.
