  1. PG-SGA patient generated-subjective global assessment
  2. aModel 1 was adjusted for age at surgery and sex
  3. bModel 2 was adjusted for types of operation (STG or TG), and stages (stage I and II or stage III) in addition to variables in model 1
  4. cModel 3 was adjusted for weight loss (kg, continuous), body mass index (kg/m2, continuous), digestive symptoms (yes or no), and protein intake relative to requirement (≥ 75% or < 75%) at each nutritional consultation in additional to variables in model 2
