Laparoscopic surgery and higher PNI reduce postoperative complications, and PNI independently predicts both short-term complications and long-term survival in gastric cancer.
Does laparoscopic surgery and adequate nutritional status reduce postoperative complications and improve long-term survival in gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy?
The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) is a critical independent predictor for both short-term postoperative complications and long-term survival in patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Laparoscopic surgery and adequate nutritional status are associated with a reduced incidence of postoperative complications. The PNI, LVI, TNM stage, ALB, CA19-9, age, and CEA were identified as independent perioperative risk factors for long-term survival in gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy. The PNI is an independent factor influencing both short-term complications and long-term survival.
