Abstract:BackgroundMalnutrition and increased systemic inflammatory responses are highly prevalent in patients with cancer and they have a negative effect on prognosis. We aimed to develop a Nutrition‐Inflammation Prognostic Grading System (NIPGS) for patients with cancer, which incorporates the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels.MethodsThis multicenter retrospective cohort study totally included 6891 patients diagnosed with cancer.
