Changes in Nutritional Status of Cancer Patients Undergoing Proton Radiation Therapy Based on Real-World Data

Table 4

Changes in HGS of hospitalized patients at onset and end of PRT.

Variables	Onset of PRT	End of PRT	T/χ ^2 value	value
HGS (kg)	31.35 ± 10.06	30.16 ± 9.87	−1.645	0.107
LHS (n)^#	6 (12.8%)	5 (10.6%)	0.103	0.748

Analyzed by paired t-test. ^#Analyzed by Pearson’s χ² test. PRT: proton radiotherapy, HGS: hand grip strength, LHS: low handgrip strength.
