Impact of Body Composition PET-CT Indices on Survival Considering PET-CT indices as continuous variables ( Table 2 ), an increased SMD was found to be a protective factor both for OS and PFS, which was stronger at the PT level, with significant or borderline significant p -values in the multivariate analysis after correction for sex, BMI, IPI, and therapy (HR = 0.46; CI = 0.23–0.90; p = 0.025, and HR = 0.62; CI = 0.37–1.04; p = 0.068, respectively).
