Prognostic effect of the pretreatment prognostic nutritional index in cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancer: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prognostic value of the pretreatment prognostic nutritional index (PNI) for gynaecological malignancies remain unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to explore the predictive significance of the PNI for gynaecological tumours.

Methods

The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched up to January 30, 2024, to identify relevant studies. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the associations of the PNI with overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with gynaecological tumours. We examined the correlation of the PNI with clinicopathological parameters of patients with gynaecological carcinoma by utilizing pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95
