Key result
Heart rate variability parameters were not independent prognosticators for overall survival in advanced NSCLC patients, as they significantly correlated with ECOG performance status.

Does heart rate variability predict overall survival in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer?
In patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer, heart rate variability parameters correlate with performance status but do not independently predict overall survival.
Kim et al. (2015) conducted an observational in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (n=167). Heart rate variability (HRV) was evaluated on overall survival. Heart rate variability parameters were not independent prognosticators for overall survival in advanced NSCLC patients, as they significantly correlated with ECOG performance status.
