Article Abstract
Background: The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) are considered prognostic factors for several cancers. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the GNRI and PNI for survival outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1666 patients with HCC who underwent hepatectomy. Restricted cubic spline regression was used to analyze the relationship between the GNRI and PNI for recurrence and mortality. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk factors associated with overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Interaction analysis was performed to investigate the comprehensive effects of the GNRI, PNI, and subgroup parameters on the prognosis of patients with HCC.
Results: The risks of death and recurrence decreased rapidly and gradually stabilized as the GNRI and PNI scores increased. Patients with lower GNRI and PNI scores had significantly shorter OS and RFS rates than those with higher scores. Multivariate analysis showed that high GNRI [HR and 95%CI = 0.77 (0.70-0.85), P < 0.001] and PNI [HR and 95%CI = 0.77 (0.70-0.86), P < 0.001] scores were associated with decreased mortality risk. This trend was maintained by confounding variables in adjusted models despite partial interactions with clinical factors. The combined GNRI and PNI analysis showed that HCC patients with high GNRI and PNI had longer OS and RFS.
Conclusions: The GNRI and PNI showed good survival predictions in patients with HCC. Combining the GNRI with PNI may help predict the prognosis of patients (age>18 years) with HCC after hepatectomy.

Background/aim: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) significantly affects nutritional status. While neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is the standard treatment for clinical stage II/III ESCC, its impact on nutritional status and postoperative outcomes remains unclear. This study investigated the relationship between nutritional deterioration during NAC and outcomes following esophagectomy.

Background: The nutritional assessment indicators for critically ill patients are diverse, with limited research about comparing the predicting value of different nutritional assessment tools for delirium in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Objectives: The study aimed to validate the relationship between malnutrition and ICU delirium and explore the optimal nutritional scores for predicting ICU delirium.
Methods: This study was based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database and included 319 ICU patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Background: The role of objective nutritional screening indexes in guiding treatment decisions and predicting prognosis in hyperacute stroke remains to be elucidated.
Methods: The modifying effects of nine biochemical parameters (albumin, globulin, blood urea nitrogen [BUN], creatinine, total lymphocyte count, AST, ALT, total cholesterol, triglycerides), three derived ratios (albumin-to-globulin, AST-to-ALT, BUN-to-creatinine), and seven objective nutritional indexes-namely CONUT (Controlling Nutritional Status score), PNI (Prognostic Nutritional Index), GNRI (Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index), INA (Instant Nutritional Assessment), AGS (Albumin-Globulin Score), TCBI (Triglyceride-Total Cholesterol-Body Weight Index), and CPNI (Cholesterol-modified Prognostic Nutritional Index)-were evaluated with respect to clinical outcomes in a cohort of 299 patients with acute ischemic stroke who received intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA). Discriminative efficacy was considered clinically meaningful when the lower bound of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under the curve (AUC) reached or exceeded 0.

Despite advances in immunotherapy, predicting survival outcomes in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains challenging. Inflammatory and nutritional indices such as the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), and Inflammatory Burden Index (IBI) have emerged as promising prognostic markers associated with overall survival (OS) in NSCLC patients. We retrospectively analyzed a total of 196 NSCLC patients treated with second-line nivolumab across multiple centers in Turkey.

Introduction: Postoperative complications following colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery are known to not only impair patients' quality of life but also adversely affect long-term prognosis. Objective and simple preoperative risk assessment tools are essential for preventing such complications. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), which incorporates serum albumin concentration and the ratio of current to ideal body weight, has emerged as a useful tool for estimating the risk of postoperative complications and long-term prognosis in patients with CRC.
