Prognostic value of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The significance of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in predicting the prognostic outcomes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has been widely explored, with conflicting results. Therefore, the present meta-analysis aimed to identify the prognostic significance of the CONUT in DLBCL by aggregating current evidence.

Methods

The Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, CNKI and Cochrane Library databases were searched for articles from inception to October 15, 2024. The prognostic value of CONUT for DLBCL was analyzed by determining the pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to analyze study quality.

Results

Eight studies including 2687 cases were included in this work. The NOS sco
