Prognostic value of three clinical nutrition scoring system (NRI, PNI, and CONUT) in elderly patients with prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Most of patients with prostate cancer (PCa) are elderly and have a long course of disease. Preoperative assessment of the patient's clinical nutritional status facilitates early intervention and improves patient prognosis.

Methods

We assessed the nutritional status of PCa patients utilizing the Nutritional Risk Index (NRI), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), and Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) scoring systems. Survival comparisons between groups were conducted using Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and log-rank tests, while Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was employed to identify independent prognostic factors. Furthermore, we implemented bootstrap-based optimism correction methods to validate the scoring systems and applied decision curve analysis
