The geriatric nutritional risk index predicts complications after nephrectomy for renal cancer

Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index and Postoperative Outcomes Following Head and Neck Cancer Surgery

“…Furthermore, we identified an association between GNRI and 30-day post-operative mortality following HNC surgery, consistent with existing reports [8,9,16,34,35,[46][47][48].…”

“…Furthermore, we identified an association between GNRI and 30‐day post‐operative mortality following HNC surgery, consistent with existing reports [8, 9, 16, 34, 35, 46–48]. Unlike late mortality which is more likely related to cancer recurrence, early postoperative mortality, tends to be more a result of complications arising from the surgery itself, and is therefore an important consideration during preoperative screening.…”

“…However, considering that the AUC of 0.66 for GNRI with respect to any complication is still relatively low, there may be greater predictive utility in incorporating GNRI into a composite score as opposed to being used alone. Our findings that malnutrition is associated with surgical complications supports other studies that report GNRI to predict surgical complications such as SSI, revision surgery, and periprosthetic fractures [6,8,[33][34][35]. The GNRI is calculated using albumin and body weight.…”

“…The GNRI is calculated using albumin and body weight. Low albumin levels indicate systemic inflammation and impaired immune function, which may be detrimental to the healing process, especially in delicate patients in the post-operative setting [36] failure, deep vein thrombosis, and urinary tract infection have previously been associated with GNRI status in reports of other surgeries [8,9,16,35,37]. Our study also found malnutrition as suggested by the GNRI to predict CDIV complications, which have been shown to be strong surrogates for overall surgical quality [35].…”

Geriatric nutritional risk index as a predictor for postoperative complications in patients with solid cancers: a meta-analysis

“…The sample sizes of these studies ranged from 62 to 7863 participants. Six studies were from Japan ( 14 , 19 , 22 – 25 ), three studies were from China ( 8 , 18 , 20 ), one study from USA ( 17 ) and one study from Korea ( 21 ). Three studies reported colorectal cancer ( 8 , 20 , 23 ), two studies reported Esophageal cancer ( 14 , 25 ), two studies reported Gastric cancer ( 22 , 24 ), two studies reported renal cancer ( 17 , 19 ), one study reported liver cancer ( 21 ) and one study reported prostate cancer ( 18 ).…”
