Meta-analysis identifies low nutritional indices as predictors of overall survival in gastric cancer, suggesting tailored interventions.

Low preoperative prognostic nutritional index significantly correlates with reduced overall survival and increased infection risk.
Meta-analysis of 27 cohorts revealed significant metrics, with a hazard ratio of 3.140 for low PNI associated with mortality.
Retrospective cohort study showed improved predictive accuracy for complications when combining PNI and NRS-2002.
Multivariate analysis indicated low PNI and high NRS-2002 as independent predictors of adverse postoperative outcomes.

Zheng et al. (2025) studied this question.
