The controlling nutritional status score as a new prognostic predictor in patients with cervical cancer receiving radiotherapy: a propensity score matching analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As assessment tools of nutritional status, the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) and modified controlling nutritional status (mCONUT) score are associated with survival in various cancers. We aimed to investigate the association between the CONUT/mCONUT score's prognostic value and survival time in patients with FIGO stage IIB-IIIB cervical cancer treated with radiotherapy.

Methods

In this retrospective study, 165 patients between September 2013 and September 2015 were analyzed, and the optimal CONUT/mCONUT score cut-off values were determined using receiver operating characteristic curves. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to minimize selection bias. The Kaplan-Meier method and a Cox proportional hazard model were used to assess the CONUT/mCONUT score
