Implication

Retrospective analysis reveals low nutritional status predicts worse survival rates in colorectal cancer, indicating personalized treatment may improve outcomes.

Key Points

  • A low prognostic nutritional index indicates poorer overall survival and disease-free survival.
  • Among 489 colorectal cancer patients, low PNI correlated with 4% early hospital mortality compared to 1%.
  • Multivariate analysis demonstrated low PNI independently predicts poor overall survival and disease-free survival outcomes.
  • Assessment of nutritional status before surgery may enhance treatment personalization and patient care.
