PEW distribution as per 4-scaled appetite ratings. Abbreviation: PEW = Protein energy wasting. Note-The number of patients in very poor rating was very few (n = 2). Hence, data in very poor and poor ratings were merged, thereby yielding the 4-scaled appetite ratings. The proportion of PEW patients increased significantly from 17.6 % in very good rating to 83.3 % in poor rating (P = 0.005, Pearson χ2 test for trend, 2 cell counts less than 5)
