Background: Inflammation and nutrition are strongly linked to respiratory diseases, but the link between inflammation and nutrition-based indicators and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its mortality has not been reported.
Methods: We recruited adults no younger than 20 years old from the NHANES 1999-2018. Inflammation and nutrition-based indicators included NAR, PNI, MAR, RAR, HALP, and ALI. COPD were assessed through a self-report questionnaire. Participants' mortality rates were determined by association with the National Death Index.
Results: A total of 46,572 individuals were collected in this study, including 1,549 COPD patients. NAR, MAR, and RAR were positively linked with the prevalence of COPD. However, PNI and HALP were negatively linked with the prevalence of COPD. In participants with COPD, the highest quartile of NAR (HR = 1.43 [1.04-1.97]), MAR (HR = 1.66 [1.23-2.26]), and RAR (HR = 2.45 [1.90-3.17]) were linked with an increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to the lowest quartile. However, the highest quartile of PNI (HR = 0.48 [0.38-0.61]) and HALP (HR = 0.56 [0.44-0.71]) were linked with a decreased risk of all-cause mortality compared to the lowest quartile. Randomized survival forests (RSF) showed that RAR had the strongest predictive power for all-cause mortality in COPD individuals among all indicators.
Conclusion: We found that inflammation and nutrition-based indicators were linked to prognosis in COPD patients, with RAR having the highest predictive value.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the prognostic accuracy of the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS), and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) in predicting 30-day mortality and intensive care unit (ICU) admission compared with the Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) and CURB-65 in older adults with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).
Patients And Methods: This retrospective, single-center cohort study was conducted in a tertiary emergency department. Patients aged ≥65 years with CAP were included.

Background/aim: Systemic inflammation, immunity, and nutrition-based prognostic indices (SIINBPIs) have been associated with cancer prognosis. This study evaluated their prognostic relevance in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) treated with nivolumab.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 103 R/M HNSCC patients who received nivolumab.

The pathogenesis of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) is diverse; however, increasing evidence suggests that inflammation and oxidative stress play a significant role in the development and progression of the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of inflammation, nutritional status, and oxidative stress at diagnosis in patients with low-risk MDS. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 175 newly diagnosed low-risk MDS patients.

In recent years, nutrition and dietetics have evolved from playing a supporting role in inflammatory bowel disease care to becoming an integral part of the treatment approach. Nutrition and dietary treatments address malnutrition, which is known to be highly prevalent in inflammatory bowel disease patients, reduce active inflammation, provide symptom relief, and enhance quality of life. Patients believe that nutrition-based strategies are an important part of their disease management but generally have difficulty accessing specialist nutrition advice.

Background: Nutrients, including bioactive natural compounds, have been demonstrated to affect key metabolic processes implicated in tumor growth and progression, both in preclinical and clinical trials. Although the application of precision nutrition as a complementary approach to improve cancer treatments is still incipient in clinical practice, the development of powerful "omics" techniques has opened new possibilities for delivering nutritional advice to cancer patients. Precision nutrition may contribute to improving the plasticity and function of antitumor immune responses.
