CRP and Cachexia: Multivariate analysis, adjusting for clinically significant factors, demonstrated that only high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (OR, 1.24; p = 0.04], the utilization of LDs (OR, 5.76; p = 0.03), and the presence of cachexia (OR, 2.53; p = 0.04) are independent predictors of anorexia [32].
