NPPB and Cachexia: The results of the multivariate Cox regression analyses for all‐cause, CVD and non‐CVD mortality showed that the HR of cachexia adjusted for the MAGGIC score and log BNP was 1.494 (95% CI, 1.173–1.903; P = 0.001), 1.456 (95% CI, 1.048–2.023; P = 0.025) and 1.561 (95% CI, 1.086–2.243; P = 0.017), respectively, compared to the non‐cachexia group.
