- Sarcopenia was identified in 37.4% of 214 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients.
- Patients with sarcopenia had shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
- Low prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and high controlling nutritional status (CONUT) scores were associated with worse PFS and OS.
- A combined model of sarcopenia, PNI, and CONUT score strongly correlated with survival outcomes.
- Sarcopenia was an independent predictor of shorter OS in multivariate analysis.
