HGS ASYMMETRY

Details and patient eligibility

About

Adding the handgrip strength (HGS) asymmetry to the existing measurements of low HGS may improve the assessment of muscle function.

Full description

We sought to explore the associations between maximal HGS with HGS asymmetry and mortality, hospital readmissions, total complications, and prolonged length of stay (PLOS) among elderly patients with gastric cancer.
