TOPLINE:

Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) was a valuable predictor for oncological outcomes and morbidity among European patients with gastric cancer undergoing multimodal curative-intent treatment. A low PNI was associated with decreased odds of achieving Textbook Outcome (TO) and an increased risk for 90-day mortality.

METHODOLOGY:

Researchers used data from the European Gastric Cancer Association GASTRODATA registry between 2017 and 2022 to analyse 721 patients with gastric cancer who underwent multimodal treatment.

The primary outcome was TO achievement; the secondary outcome was 90-day mortality, defined as death within 90 days after surgery.

The PNI was calculated using a cutoff value of 45.5 on the basis of the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.
