Weight-loss & metabolite data of cachetic cancer patients over multiple time points

<p>This dataset contains weight-loss&nbsp;data and metabolite measurements from cachetic cancer patients. This data set is part of the publication &quot;Biomarkers related to fatty acid oxidative capacity are predictive for continued weight loss in cachectic cancer patients&quot; by Catanese et al., 2021 (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1002/jcsm.12817">LINK</a>).&nbsp;Data were collected over a extended time period starting from the day of hospital admission. Up to seven time points are available for individual patients. A metabolite profile consisting of amino acids and acylcarnitines measured via tandem MS/MS from both blood plasma and dried blood spots is available for each patient at each time point.&nbsp;Additional available phenotypes are the age, sex and historic weight of each patient.&nbsp;</p> <p>Abbreviations:</p> <ul> <li>HW - Historical weight</li> <li>TP - Time point</li> <li>WL - Weight loss</li> <li>DBS - Dried blood spot</li> <li>Metabolite abbreviations are explained&nbsp;in Supplementary Table S5 of the corresponding publication</li> </ul>
