Figure 5 Kaplan-Meier survival curves stratified by the occurrence of postoperative skeletal muscle loss.
Log-rank test was used for comparison. A: Relapse-free survival between skeletal muscle loss (SML; Δ skeletal muscle index ≥ -5%) and non-SML groups; B: Overall survival between SML and non-SML groups. SML: Skeletal muscle loss; CI: Confidence interval.
