      Hadzibegovic, Sara; Porthun, Jan; Lena, Alessia; Weinländer, Pia; Lück, Laura C.; Potthoff, Sophia; Rösnick, Lukas; Fröhlich, Ann-Kathrin; Ramer, Luisa Valentina; Sonntag, Frederike; Wilkenshoff, Ursula; Ahn, Johann; Keller, Ulrich; Bullinger, Lars; Mahabadi, Amir A.; Totzeck, Matthias; Rassaf, Tienush; Von Haehling, Stephan; Coats, Andrew J.S.; Anker, Stefan D.; Roeland, Eric J.; Landmesser, Ulf; Anker, Markus S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background Hand grip strength (HGS) is a widely used functional test for the assessment of strength and functional status in patients with cancer, in particular with cancer cachexia. The aim was to prospectively evaluate ...
    • Patient-reported ability to walk 4 m and to wash: New clinical endpoints and predictors of survival in patients with pre-terminal cancer 

      Lena, Alessia; Anker, Markus S.; Roeland, Eric J.; Porthun, Jan; Schmitz, Sebastian; Hadzibegovic, Sara; Sikorski, Philipp; Wilkenshoff, Ursula; Fröhlich, Ann-Kathrin; Ramer, Luisa Valentina; Rose, Matthias; Eucker, Jan; Rassaf, Tienush; Totzeck, Matthias; Lehmann, Lorenz H.; Von Haehling, Stephan; Coats, Andrew J.S.; Friede, Tim; Butler, Javed; Anker, Stefan D.; Riess, Hanno; Landmesser, Ulf; Bullinger, Lars; Keller, Ulrich; Ahn, Johann (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background Maintaining the ability to perform self-care is a critical goal in patients with cancer. We assessed whether the patient-reported ability to walk 4 m and wash oneself predict survival in patients with ...
    • Physical function endpoints in cancer cachexia clinical trials: Systematic Review 1 of the cachexia endpoints series 

      McDonald, James; Sayers, Judith; Anker, Stefan D.; Arends, Jann; Balstad, Trude Rakel; Baracos, Vickie; Brown, Leo; Bye, Asta; Dajani, Olav; Dolan, Ross; Fallon, Marie T.; Fraser, Eilidh; Griel, Christine; Grzyb, Aleksandra; Hjermstad, Marianne Jensen; Jamal-Hanjani, Mariam; Jakobsen, Gunnhild; Kaasa, Stein; McMillan, Donald; Maddocks, Matthew; Philips, Iain; Ottestad, Inger; Reid, Kieran F.; Sousa, Mariana S.; Simpson, Melanie Rae; Vagnildhaug, Ola Magne; Skipworth, Richard J. E.; Solheim, Tora S; Laird, Barry J (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      In cancer cachexia trials, measures of physical function are commonly used as endpoints. For drug trials to obtain regulatory approval, efficacy in physical function endpoints may be needed alongside other measures. However, ...
    • Spontaneous Non-Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia and Premature Ventricular Contractions and Their Prognostic Relevance in Patients with Cancer in Routine Care 

      Albrecht, Annemarie; Porthun, Jan; Eucker, Jan; Coats, Andrew J.S.; Haehling, Stephan von; Pezzutto, Antonio; Karakas, Mahir; Riess, Hanno; Keller, Ulrich; Landmesser, Ulf; Haverkamp, Wilhelm; Anker, Stefan D.; Anker, Markus S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Aims: It is largely unknown whether cancer patients seen in routine care show ventricular arrhythmias in 24 h electrocardiograms (ECGs), and whether when they are detected they carry prognostic relevance. Methods and ...
