PURPOSE: Skeletal muscle quality assessment can be performed by cross-sectional imaging. Skeletal muscle density (SMD) identified to be of prognostic relevance of several clinically outcomes in patients with hematological diseases. The purpose of the present study was to establish the effect of SMD on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).
METHODS: All patients with MM were retrospectively analyzed between 2009 and 2019. 127 patients were included into the analysis. Whole-body computed tomography (CT) was used to calculate skeletal muscle index (SMI), SMD, albumin-gauge score and intramuscular adipose tissue content (IMAC).
RESULTS: Overall, 28 patients (22.0%) of the patient sample died. In the discrimination analysis muscle density was higher in non-survivors compared to survivors (mean 30.8 ± 12.5 versus 24.1 ± 15.8, p = 0.03) and IMAC was lower in non-survivors (- 0.66 ± 1.8 versus - 0.25 ± 0.21, p = 0.01). These differences, however, were not demonstrated in the logistic regression analysis, which could not show prognostic relevance for the investigated muscle density parameters on PFS or OS.
CONCLUSION: CT-defined muscle density parameters have no prognostic relevance on survival in patients with MM undergoing autologous stem cell therapy, which was demonstrated in a comprehensive analysis. These results corroborate previous smaller studies that body composition might have a limited role in this tumor entity.
