Under conservative Bonferroni correction (α = 0.0033), the NLR–dyspnea ( p = 0.001) and MUST–appetite loss ( p = 0.001) associations remained statistically significant; the NLR–physical functioning, NLR–role functioning, and MUST–nausea/vomiting associations were nominally significant ( p < 0.05) but did not survive Bonferroni correction and are reported as exploratory.
