Abstract
Aims Surgical site infection (SSI) after soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) resection is a serious complication. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the risk factors for SSI after STS resection, and to develop a nomogram that allows patient-specific risk assessment. Methods A total of 547 patients with STS who underwent tumour resection between 2005 and 2021 were divided into a development cohort and a validation cohort. In the development cohort of 402 patients, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model was used to screen possible risk factors of SSI. To select risk factors and construct the prediction nomogram, multivariate logistic regression was used. The predictive power of the nomogram was evaluated by receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis in the validation cohort of 145 patients. Results LASSO regression analysis selected possible risk factors for SSI, including age, diabetes, operating time, skin graft or flap, resected tumour size, smoking, and radiation therapy. Multivariate analysis revealed that age, diabetes, smoking during the previous year, operating time, and radiation therapy were independent risk factors for SSI. A nomogram was developed based on the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis. In the development cohort, the incidence of SSI was 4.5% in the low-risk group (risk score < 6.89) and 26.6% in the high-risk group (risk score ≥ 6.89; p < 0.001). In the validation cohort, the incidence of SSI was 2.0% in the low-risk group and 15.9% in the high-risk group (p = 0.004). Conclusion Our nomogram will enable surgeons to assess the risk of SSI in patients with STS. In patients with high risk of SSI, frequent monitoring and aggressive interventions should be considered to prevent this.

Abstract
With nearly 15,000 new cases of soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) in the United States each year, early diagnosis and therapeutic management is imperative for successful patient outcomes. Primary STS is conventionally treated with a combination of wide-margin resection, neoadjuvant or adjuvant radiation therapy, and, in specific cases, adjuvant chemotherapy. However, in situations of complex disease presentation, guidelines for treatment are less clearly outlined. Limited metastatic disease, local recurrence, fungating STSs, and unplanned or incomplete resections of STSs present unique challenges for the multidisciplinary care team. The management of complex STS clinical scenarios usually involves limb-salvage resection or amputation as well as some combination of radiation therapy and/or ablative interventional radiology techniques. As a result, a multidisciplinary team approach is essential for treating patients in these challenging scenarios, with a recent focus on the integration of plastic and reconstructive surgery into the treatment algorithm.

Abstract
Background Central venous catheters (CVCs) are sometimes superior to peripheral vascular access for chemotherapy. Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are an important complication of CVCs in chemotherapy. Methods A retrospective, observational study was conducted to investigate patients with implanted venous access ports (PORTs) from July 2010 to June 2021 in a teaching hospital. General conditions of the PORTs, backgrounds, and characteristics of patients were compared between CLABSI cases and uninfected cases to identify predictors of CLABSI. Results A total of 566 patients with PORTs who underwent chemotherapy were enrolled in this study, with CLABSI identified in 41 patients, for a total of 436,597 catheter-days. The median duration of PORT use was 26 vs. 494 days (P<0.001) in the CLABSI and uninfected groups, respectively. There were no significant differences in tumor classification, staging, white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil proportion, lymphocyte proportion, albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and performance status between the CLABSI and uninfected groups. Multivariable analysis showed that antibiotic usage within the previous week, total protein (TP), and immediate PORT use were independently associated with CLABSI, and their odds ratios (ORs) were 4.89 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.67, 14.35], 1.95 (95% CI: 1.14, 3.53), and 3.13 (95% CI: 1.18, 8.30), respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver-operating characteristic curve for TP was 0.63, and the cutoff value was 5.9 g/dL. Conclusions PORT implantation should be avoided in patients who had antibiotic treatment episodes within 1 week, especially for those with low serum TP levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Invasive candidiasis is the most common hospital-acquired fungal infection in intensive care units (ICU). The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) score was developed to evaluate the nutritional status of elderly adults. We aimed to assess the association between the GNRI score and the risk of invasive candidiasis in elderly patients admitted to ICU. METHODS Hospitalization information of elderly patients with invasive candidiasis was collected retrospectively from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) IV and MIMIC-III Clinical Database CareVue subset from 2001 to 2019. The main outcome of this study was the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis in patients. We employed a multivariable Cox regression and propensity score matching to balance the influence of confounding factors on the outcome. Furthermore, we conducted sensitivity analyses by categorizing the GNRI into classes based on thresholds of 98, 92, and 81. RESULTS A total of 6739 patients were included in the study, among whom 134 individuals (2%) were diagnosed with invasive candidiasis. The GNRI scores of patients with invasive candidiasis upon admission to the ICU were significantly lower, measuring 88.67 [79.26-98.27], compared to the control group with a score of 99.36 [87.98-110.45] (P < 0.001). The results of the multivariable Cox regression analysis demonstrated a strong association between higher GNRI scores and a decreased risk of invasive candidiasis infection (HR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.97-0.99, P = 0.002). Consistently, similar results were obtained when analyzing the propensity score-matched cohort (HR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.98-1, P = 0.028). Sensitivity analyses further confirmed a significantly increased risk of invasive candidiasis infection with lower GNRI scores. Specifically, the following associations were observed: GNRI ≤ 98 (HR: 1.83, 95% CI: 1.23-2.72, P = 0.003), GNRI ≤ 92 (HR: 1.68, 95% CI: 1.17-2.4, P = 0.005), 82 ≤ GNRI ≤ 92 (HR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.01-2.64, P = 0.046), GNRI ≤ 81 (HR: 2.31, 95% CI: 1.44-3.69, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Lower GNRI score was significantly associated with an increased risk of invasive candidiasis in elderly patients in ICU. Further research is needed to validate whether improving nutrition can prevent invasive candidiasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are the 2 most common primary bone sarcomas, occurring predominantly in pediatric patients, with the incidence of osteosarcoma correlating with periods of peak bone-growth velocity. Although survival outcomes have plateaued over the past several decades, ongoing treatment advances have improved function, decreased infection rates, and improved other clinical outcomes in patients with bone tumors. Recently, the Prophylactic Antibiotic Regimens in Tumor Surgery (PARITY) trial addressed the serious problem of surgical site infection (SSI) and the lack of consensus regarding the appropriate prophylactic postoperative antibiotic regimen. The objective of the present secondary analysis of the PARITY trial was to characterize the modern treatment and surgical and oncologic outcomes of pediatric patients with bone tumors at 1 year postoperatively. METHODS The PARITY trial included patients ≥12 years old with a bone tumor or soft-tissue sarcoma that was invading the femur or tibia, necessitating osseous resection and endoprosthetic reconstruction. This pediatric subanalysis of the PARITY trial data included all PARITY patients ≤18 years old. As in the main PARITY study, patients were randomized to either a 5-day or 1-day course of postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis. The primary outcome measure was the development of an SSI within 1 year, and secondary outcomes included antibiotic-related adverse events, unplanned additional operations, local recurrence, metastasis, and death. RESULTS A total of 151 patients were included. An adjudicated SSI occurred in 27 patients (17.9%). There was no difference in the rate of any SSI between the 5-day and 1-day antibiotic groups (hazard ratio [HR], 0.92; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.4 to 1.9; p = 0.82). Antibiotic-related complications occurred in 13 patients (8.6%), with no difference noted between groups (HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.2 to 1.4; p = 0.18). A total of 45 patients (29.8%) required a return to the operating room within the first postoperative year, which corresponded with a 68.8% reoperation-free rate of survival at 1 year when accounting for competing risks. The most common reason for reoperation was infection (29 of 45; 64.4%). A total of 7 patients (4.6%) required subsequent amputation of the operative extremity, and an additional 6 patients (4.0%) required implant revision within 12 months. A total of 36 patients (23.8%) developed metastases, and 6 patients (4.0%) developed a local recurrence during the first postoperative year. A total of 11 patients (7.3%) died during the study period. There were no significant differences in oncologic outcomes between the 5-day and 1-day antibiotic groups (HR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.5-1.8; p = 0.92). CONCLUSIONS There were no significant differences in surgical or oncologic outcomes between pediatric patients who underwent a 1-day versus 5-day antibiotic regimen following endoprosthetic reconstruction in the PARITY trial. Surgeons should be aware of and counsel patients and caregivers regarding the 30% rate of reoperation and the risks of infection (17.9%), death (7.3%), amputation (4.6%), and implant revision (4%) within the first postoperative year.

Abstract
Background The mainstay of therapy in most soft-tissue tumours (STTs) is excision. However, this often results in blood/extracellular fluid collection within large dead spaces necessitating the use of surgical drains. Whether meticulous attention to haemostasis, careful closure of dead space, and use of compression bandage obviates the need for drains was investigated. This study aimed to compare postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for STTs with and without the use of drains. Methodology A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing STT surgery over five years was undertaken using a regional STT specialist service database. Patients were stratified into the following two groups: compression bandage alone (CB) versus compression bandage with drain (CBD). The chi-square test was used to examine associations with infection, seroma, and haematoma, while the unpaired t-test was used for associations with hospital stay and time to wound healing. The unpaired t-test with Bonferroni correction was used to account for tumour dimensions across both groups. Results A total of 81 CB and 25 CBD patients were included. The mean hospital stay was significantly lower in CB compared to CBD (4.9 days, SD = 8.574 vs. 9.8 days, SD = 7.647, p = 0.0125). None of the other variables was significantly different between the two groups, including infection (21.3% vs. 24.0%, p = 0.7804), seroma (25.0% vs. 36.0%, p = 0.2865), haematoma (0.026% vs. 2.0%, p = 0.2325), and time to wound healing (55.8 days, SD = 63.59 vs. 42.3 days, SD = 58.88, p = 0.3648). Conclusions Our findings suggest that the use of drains in patients undergoing STT tumour surgery lengthens hospital stay without reducing the incidence of postoperative complications/time to wound healing. A larger, prospective trial is needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hip fracture is common in older patients and is associated with high mortality and functional impairment. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) evaluates the risk of malnutrition-related complications, and the Barthel Index (BI) evaluates older patients' functional status. The study aim was to determine the risk factors for both death and decreased BI within 1 year after hip fracture. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 108 patients who were treated for hip fractures in 10 public or private hospitals from February to July 2007. Participating facilities comprised eight public or private hospitals with 200-499 beds, and two private or orthopedic hospitals with 20-199 beds. We evaluated several risk factors for death and lower BI within 1 year after hip fracture. RESULTS The mortality rate within 1 year postoperatively for patients who survived inpatient stay was 6.5% (7/108). The proportion of patients with decreased postoperative BI was 43.6% (44/101). Binomial logistic regression analysis showed that several factors, including low GNRI (odds ratio [OR]: 0.80; 95% confidence interval [CI: 0.68-0.93]), were risk factors for death within 1 year. Postoperative delirium (OR: 8.84 [1.52-51.6]), postinjury dementia (OR: 34.8 [3.01-402]), preinjury BI (OR: 1.05 [1.02-1.08]), and preinjury dementia (OR: 6.22 [1.73-22.4]) were risk factors for decreased postoperative BI. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicated that lower GNRI was a risk factor for death within 1 year of hip surgery and that delirium and dementia were among the risk factors for decreased BI 1 year after hip fracture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wound healing after resection of large soft-tissue tumors is often impaired by large dead space and fluid collection. Recently, the authors were able to show an association of wound complications with worse oncologic outcome in soft-tissue sarcomas. The aim of the study was to examine the value of closed-incision negative pressure wound therapy on postoperative wound drainage and wound complications after soft-tissue tumor resection. METHODS Patients for whom resection is planned of a soft-tissue tumor larger than 10 cm in diameter of the extremities or the trunk were allocated randomly to one of two groups. After wound closure, patients in the study group received closed-incision negative-pressure wound therapy for a duration of 5 days, whereas those in the control group received regular dressings. The amount of drainage fluid, course of wound healing, length of hospital stay, and wound edge perfusion at postoperative day 5 measured by white-light infrared spectroscopy were compared. RESULTS Sixty patients could be included in the study with even distribution to both study arms, meeting the goal. The postoperative course of wound drainage volume was significantly lower in the study group, and hospital stay was significantly shorter, with 9.1 ± 3.8 days versus 13.9 ± 11.8 days. The occurrence of wound complications was significantly lower in the study group on time-to-event analysis (one versus six). Tissue spectroscopy revealed a significantly higher oxygen saturation increase in the wound edge for the study group versus the control group. CONCLUSION Closed-incision negative-pressure wound therapy should be considered for patients undergoing resection of large soft-tissue tumors. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, II.

Abstract
Background The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a commonly used method to assess nutritional risk for predicting potential surgical site infections (SSI) in cancer patients. This study aims to create and verify a simple nomogram and a dynamic web-based calculator for predicting the risk of SSI among gynecologic oncology patients. Methods A retrospective evaluation was conducted on patients who were admitted into a tertiary hospital in China with confirmed diagnosis of gynecologic cancer between 01 August 2017 and 30 November 2021. A two-piecewise linear regression model with a smoothing function was used to investigate the non-linear association between GNRI and SSI to determine the ideal cut-off point. Three models were developed on the basis of different variables to predict SSI in gynecologic oncology patients. Through a nomogram the concordance index (C-index), the Akaike information criterion (AIC), and the integrated discrimination index (IDI) were used to determine the final model. Finally, the performance of the nomogram was validated using the 1,000-bootstrap resamples method and analyzed using C-index, GiViTI calibration belts, and decision curve. Also, a user-friendly dynamic web-based calculator was developed. Results A total of 1,221 patients were included in the analysis. A non-linear association could be observed between GNRI and SSI risk with a GNRI cut-off value of 101.7. After adding GNRI to Model 2 (which comprised Morse Fall Scale score, preoperative length of stay, operation time, and estimated blood loss), the AIC value decreased, the C-index value increased and IDI increased significantly. The nomogram C-index in the development cohort and internal validation cohort demonstrates a moderate-high degree of discrimination. The GiViTI calibrated belt showed a good agreement between the observed and predicted probabilities of SSI. The decision curve validates the clinical feasibility of the nomogram with a threshold value between 0 and 49%. Conclusion The GNRI cut-off value of 101.7 allowed for appropriate stratification of patients into distinct SSI risk groups. This study found that including GNRI in the above nomogram (Model 2) would enhance its potential to predict SSI in gynecologic oncology patients.

Abstract
Background and objective Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignant tumors in men. Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is an objective index for evaluating nutritional status of elderly people over 65 years old. The aim of the current study was to explore the correlation and predictive value between GNRI and postoperative recovery and complications in PCa patients undergoing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP). Methods Taking 98 as the GNRI boundary value, 96 PCa patients (aged≥65 y) undergoing LRP in the Department of Urology, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from January 2018 to December 2020 were grouped into malnutrition group (MNg, 34 patients, 35.4%) and normal nutrition group (NNg, 62 patients, 64.6%). Basic information, laboratory examination indexes, operation conditions, postoperative complications and postoperative recovery indexes of patients were recorded and retrospectively analyzed. Clavien-Dindo Classification System (CDCS) was used to assess postoperative complications. T-test was used to analyze differences between the two groups. ROC curve was generated to determine the predictive value of GNRI for postoperative complications. Results Percentage of complications was significantly higher in MNg group compared with that in NNg group (P < 0.01). The average grade based on CDCS was significantly lower in NNg group compared with that in MNg group (P < 0.01). Body weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), preoperative hemoglobin value (HGB), serum albumin (ALB) values of MNg and NNg were significantly positively correlated with GNRI (P<0.01). Incidence and severity of postoperative complications of MNg patients were significantly higher compared with those of NNg patients (P<0.05). Average hospitalization cost of MNg patients was higher in MNg patients compared with that of NNg patients (P<0.05). Duration of post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), duration of antibiotic use and duration of indwelling drainage tube were longer in MNg patients compared with those in NNg patients (P<0.05). Furthermore, volume of indwelling drainage tube was higher in MNg patients compared with that in NNg patients (P<0.05). Conclusion GNRI is an effective and reliable tool for evaluation of preoperative nutritional status of prostate cancer patients. The findings showed that GNRI is correlated with postoperative recovery and complications, and is an effective predictive marker.

A prospective comparative study of the MNA-SF and GNRI nutritional screening tools in predicting infectious complications among elderly patients over 70 years undergoing posterior lumbar arthrodesis. Aging Clin Exp Res 2021; 33:1947-1953.

Abstract
Malnutrition is a risk factor for postoperative infectious complications of elderly patients undergoing posterior lumbar arthrodesis. At present, there is no gold standard for nutrition screening tools. We analyzed the value of predicting infectious complications among elderly patients over 70 years undergoing posterior lumbar arthrodesis by comparing the MNA-SF and GNRI. Demographic data, anthropometric measurements, serum albumin, surgical data and the occurrence of infectious complications and LOS were collected. Mini Nutritional Assessment short form (MNA-SF), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) were performed within 24 h before surgery. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of infectious complications. The discriminatory performances of GNRI and MNA-SF scores for the occurrence of infectious complications were determined by receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) analyses and the area under the curve (AUC). The study included 252 patients with a median age of 76.82 ± 6.41 years (range 70-84 years), and 142 patients (56.3%) were female. There were no significant differences in infectious complications (p = 0.236) and LOS (p = 0.580) among different GNRI categories. 27.3% malnourished patients evaluated by the MNA-SF suffered from infectious complications and 10.1% patients at risk of malnourished had infectious complications. Those patients had statistically significant higher prevalence of infectious complications (p = 0.002) and longer LOS (p = 0.023) than well-nourished patients. Multivariable analysis revealed that preoperative malnutrition and at risk of malnourished by the MNA-SF was significantly associated with infections. The area under the curve (AUC) of MNA-SF was 0.754, which was significantly high than AUC of GNRI (0.623) (Delong's test, p = 0.033). This study demonstrated that MNA-SF is a simple and effective tool for predicting the risk of infectious complications in elderly patients undergoing posterior lumbar arthrodesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Malignant fungating wounds are ulcerating tumors that infiltrate the overlying skin. Little evidence exists regarding the prognosis or treatment of malignant fungating wound in soft tissue sarcoma. This study aimed to reveal the prognosis and outcome of surgical treatment of malignant fungating wound in soft tissue sarcoma. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 26 patients with malignant fungating wound in high-grade soft tissue sarcoma between 2005 and 2018. The patients' characteristics, treatments, surgical wound complications, local recurrences and prognoses were analyzed. Overall survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with that of the control cohort, consisting of 236 consecutive patients with non-malignant fungating wound high-grade soft tissue sarcoma treated during the same period. RESULTS Among the 26 patients, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma was the most common subtype. Twenty-three patients, including 20 (87%) and 3 (13%), underwent limb-salvage surgery and amputation, respectively. Among the 20 patients who underwent limb-salvage surgery, 4 (20%) had surgical wound complications, which required additional surgical procedures. Excluding the patients who underwent palliative surgery, local recurrence occurred in 2 patients (11%). The 5-year overall survival rate for all high-grade malignant fungating wound and non-malignant fungating wound patients was 26.0 and 67.3% (P < 0.0001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Malignant fungating wounds in soft tissue sarcoma were significantly associated with a poor prognosis; however, the incidence of surgical complications and local recurrence after limb-salvage surgery was comparable to that of general soft tissue sarcoma cases. Limb-salvage surgery should be considered, if possible, to preserve the patient's quality of life because of the dismal prognosis of patients with malignant fungating wound in soft tissue sarcoma.

Abstract
Background Surgical site infections (SSIs), which are associated with preoperative malnutrition, are a well-known potential complication of surgery that leads to increased medical costs and longer hospitalizations. Thus, surgeons need to accurately identify patients at high-risk for SSIs. Considering that the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) was designed to assess the degree of malnutrition specifically among elderly patients, previous evidence (Kawaguchi study) proved that GNRI predicted the risk of SSIs in patients following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). In this study, we aimed to validate whether that the same index could predict the risk of SSI among patients who underwent PD in our patient cohort (Ageo study). Methods The current validation cohort study was retrospectively conducted on 93 patients at the Department of Surgery, Ageo Central General Hospital, Japan, from January 2015 to October 2019. All patients were subjected to nutritional screening using the GNRI and were followed up for the occurrence of postoperative complications. Additionally, risk factors for developing SSI, as well as patient's height, body mass index, and preoperative laboratory values, were recorded. Results Patients were divided into the SSI (N=30) and non-SSI (N=63) groups with a determined SSI incidence rate of 32.3% (30/93). The SSI group had significantly lower GNRI than the non-SSI group (P<0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis determined a cutoff GNRI value of 94 (sensitivity, 83.3%; specificity, 83.6%), similar to that in the previous study. Univariate and multivariate analyses confirmed that a GNRI of <94 was significantly associated with SSI (P<0.001). Conclusions The present Ageo study confirmed the consistency of results in Kawaguchi study. Thus, lower GNRI can be a universal marker for SSI risk following PD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cancer cachexia is a metabolic disturbance resulting in a loss of skeletal muscle mass that is generally not reversed through traditional nutritional interventions. We review on both the impact of nutritional status on cancer treatment side effects, as well as cancer- specific outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS Cancer-specific cachexia and sarcopenia are associated with increased treatment-associated toxicity, and overall worse cancer-specific outcomes across all cancer types in surgical, chemotherapeutic, and radiotherapeutic populations. Despite the fact that cancer cachexia is generally thought to be irreversible, there is some evidence that nutritional intervention can be helpful. SUMMARY Nutritional status is an important factor to consider in determining cancer therapy. Patients with poor nutritional status should be identified prior to the initiation of therapy and be monitored judiciously.

Abstract
Oncologic patients often suffer from malnutrition which in turn, might have negative impact on treatment outcomes. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), as an index of impaired nutritional status, has emerged as a significant prognostic factor for short-and long-term outcomes in cancer patients. The aim of the current systematic review is to determine whether the GNRI is an independent prognostic factor of postoperative complications and survival in cancer patients. A systematic search was conducted to identify studies, published from 2005 to 2019, which assessed associations between GNRI and short- and long-term outcomes in cancer patients. Eighteen studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were included in the analysis. Low scores of GNRI were associated with increased risk for developing postoperative complications and impaired survival of cancer patients in most studies. Our findings support the use of the GNRI in the clinical practice, since it is a simple and reliable tool for assessing nutritional status in oncologic patients. More prospective, multi-centered studies are warranted to confirm the current results, as well as the role of nutritional support in improving the prognosis of cancer patients.

Abstract
Background Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) has been widely used to assess the nutritional status in a variety of human pathological conditions, but the prognostic value of the GNRI in malignancies has not been evinced. Methods Relevant studies updated on Jul 27, 2019, were retrieved in available databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, Chinese CNKI, and Chinese Wan-fang. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted and pooled by using STATA 14. Results A total of 15 studies involving 8,046 subjects were included in this meta-analysis. Meta-analysis results evinced that low GNRI was associated with poor OS (HR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.49-2.56, p ≤ 0.001), poor CSS (HR = 1.81, 95% CI: 1.49-2.19, p ≤ 0.001), poor DFS (HR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.28-2.17, p ≤ 0.001), and poor PFS (HR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.28-2.21, p ≤ 0.001), and the correlation of GNRI with OS was not changed when stratified by possible confounding factors, suggesting that malignancy patients with low GNRI would suffer from reduced survival rate and increased recurrence rate. Moreover, low GNRI was also associated with postoperative complications in malignancies. Conclusions In summary, GNRI is associated poor prognosis in human malignancies, and GNRI should be used as a predictive indicator of adverse outcomes during malignancy treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical impact of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in patients with extensive-stage disease small cell lung cancer (ED-SCLC) have not previously been reported. METHODS This study analyzed 352 patients enrolled in a previous randomized phase III trial comparing the efficacy of irinotecan plus cisplatin with that of etoposide plus cisplatin as the first-line therapy for ED-SCLC. GNRI values were calculated using serum albumin levels and actual and ideal bodyweights. Patients with a GNRI > 98, 92-98, and <92 were grouped into no, low, and moderate/major risk groups, respectively. RESULTS The objective response rates were 63.2%, 52.6%, and 49.2% in the no, low, and moderate/major risk groups, respectively (P = 0.024). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was shorter in patients with a lower GNRI than in those with a higher GNRI (no vs. low vs. moderate/major risk group; 6.5 vs. 5.8 vs. 5.9 months, respectively; P = 0.028). There were significant differences in median overall survival (OS) according to GNRI (no vs. low vs. moderate/major risk group; 13.2 vs. 10.3 vs. 8.4 months, respectively; P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that being in the moderate/major risk group was an independent poor prognostic factor for PFS (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.300, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.012-1.670; P = 0.040) and OS (HR: 1.539; 95% CI: 1.069-2.216; P = 0.020). CONCLUSIONS This prospective study shows that a low GNRI value was associated with a poor prognosis, and it supports the relationship between systemic inflammation, nutritional status, and clinical outcomes in patients with ED-SCLC.Key points SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: The lower GNRI group had a low response rate to chemotherapy for ED-SCLC. The HRs for PFS and OS were 1.300 and 1.539 in the patients with GNRI < 92. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS Low GNRI is associated with poor prognosis in ED-SCLC.
