Article Abstract
Backround And Purpose: A low Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) value, which reflects immune nutrition and inflammation around the tumor, is associated with an unfavorable prognosis, and it was aimed to reveal its prognostic value in metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: In our retrospective cross-sectional study, patients with a diagnosis of metastatic colorectal disease without active infection, between January 2010 and December 2016 were included. The PNI values at the time of diagnosis were calculated according to the formula (10 × serum albumin (g/dL)) + (0.005 × total lymphocyte value).
Results: The mean PNI value of 253 patients included in the study was 46.6. While 53.75% (n = 136) of the patients had a PNI value of 46.6 and above, 46.25% (n = 117) had a PNI value below 46.6. The overall survival (OS) of the group with a PNI of 46.6 and above was statistically significantly longer (53.06 months vs 38.80 months, p = 0.039). The PFS duration of the group with PNI below 46.6 was 25.66 months, while the PFS duration of the group with PNI above 46.6 was not reached (p = 0.265).
Conclusion: PNI is a simple and inexpensive index that evaluates the immunonutritional status, and it is a prognostic marker that can be easily used in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer as in other cancer types.

Study Design: A multicenter prospective study.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of preoperative nutritional status, assessed using the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), on clinical outcomes, including survival prognosis, postoperative complications, hospitalization duration, and functional prognosis, in patients with metastatic spinal tumors undergoing surgery.
Summary Of Background Data: Malnutrition is common in patients with cancer and is associated with poor clinical outcomes.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the usability of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and serum albumin level in predicting cholecystectomy morbidity in elderly patients (85 years and older) who underwent cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis.
Methods: This retrospective study included super-elderly patients who underwent cholecystectomy due to acute cholecystitis at a tertiary health centre between January 2010 and January 2021. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of postoperative complications (morbidity).
Prognostic Nutritional Index as a Novel Predictor of Long-Term Prognosis in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Background: The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) has been reported to be correlated with long-term outcomes after gastrointestinal tumor surgery. However, to our knowledge, only a few studies have shown that the PNI is related to cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, we aimed to assess the association between the PNI and long-term outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Background: The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) have been useful for predicting the prognosis based on nutritional condition and comorbidities in surgery and endoscopic mucosal dissection. The age-adjusted CCI (ACCI) has also been reported to be useful in surgery, but it has not been applied to endoscopic treatment. We therefore clarified the prognostic factors associated with ampullary tumors treated with endoscopic papillectomy (EP).

Background: A poor nutritional status of patients before transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been reported to be associated with poor clinical outcomes. However, changes in the nutritional status following TAVI have not been fully elucidated.
Methods: In this single-center retrospective observational study, 129 patients whose nutritional status at baseline and 6 months after TAVI were available were investigated.
