Retrospective analysis reveals PNI's impact on postoperative complications and overall survival in gastric cancer patients, highlighting malnutrition challenges.

Key Points

Lower prognostic nutritional index values significantly correlate with higher postoperative complication rates in gastric cancer patients.
Optimal PNI cut-off value was established at 46.2, indicating a sensitive and specific marker for predicting complications.
Multivariate analysis identified PNI and tumor stage as independent prognostic factors influencing 5-year overall survival rates.
Significantly lower PNI values were noted in patients with signet ring cell carcinoma compared to other gastric cancer subtypes.
