Pre-treatment nutrition-related indicators and the prognosis of patients with newly diagnosed epithelial ovarian cancer: an ambispective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few studies have explored the link between nutritional status and prognosis in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), and existing findings are controversial. Thus, this study aimed to explore the effects of pre-treatment nutrition-related indicators on the prognosis of patients with newly diagnosed EOC.

Methods

In this ambispective cohort study, 1,020 patients with EOC diagnosed by pathology examination were enrolled and followed-up until December 31, 2023. Univariate and multivariable analyses were conducted on nutrition-related indicators, including body mass index (BMI), albumin (ALB), hemoglobin (Hb), diabetes mellitus (DM), and hyperlipidemia, along with clinicopathological characteristics that might affect patients' first-line chemotherapy response,
