Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index as a prognostic marker for predicting survival outcomes in patients with UTUC after radical nephroureterectomy.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine the prognostic value of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) after radical nephrectomy (RNU). A retrospective study of UTUC patients was conducted at West China Hospital between May 2016 and June 2019. The optimal cut-off point for GNRI was determined using the X-Tile procedure. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify predictors, and two- and four-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) prediction nomograms were created based on the results of the multivariate analyses. Furthermore, time-dependent ROC curve, calibration curve and decision curve analyses were conducted. A total of 219 patients with UTUC following RNU were identified and subsequently divided into thr
