Comparison of Preoperative Nutritional Indexes for Outcomes after Primary Esophageal Surgery for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Background: This study aimed to compare the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) for predicting postoperative outcomes in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma undergoing esophagectomy.

| Sumario: | Background: This study aimed to compare the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) for predicting postoperative outcomes in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma undergoing esophagectomy. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 1265 consecutive patients who underwent elective esophageal surgery. The patients were classified into no risk, low-risk, moderate-risk, and high-risk groups based on nutritional scores. Results: The moderate-risk (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.24–1.92, <i>p</i> < 0.001 in CONUT; HR: 1.61, 95% CI: 1.22–2.12, <i>p</i> = 0.001 in GNRI; HR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.20–2.26, <i>p</i> = 0.002 in PNI) and high-risk groups (HR: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.47–2.48, <i>p</i> < 0.001 in CONUT; HR: 2.54, 95% CI: 1.64–3.93, <i>p</i> < 0.001 in GNRI; HR: 2.32, 95% CI: 1.77–3.06, <i>p</i> < 0.001 in PNI) exhibited significantly worse 5-year overall survival (OS) compared with the no-risk group. As the nutritional status worsened, the trend in the OS rates decreased (<i>p</i> for trend in all indexes < 0.05). Conclusions: Malnutrition, evaluated by any of three nutritional indexes, was an independent prognostic factor for postoperative survival. |
