Effect of preoperative nutritional risk index on 30-day postoperative complications in patients with gastric cancer: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preoperative nutritional status in patients with gastric cancer after surgery has attracted considerable interest. The nutritional risk index (NRI) has been widely used as a convenient and effective nutritional assessment index, but the relationship between preoperative NRI and postoperative complications in patients with gastric cancer has not been adequately studied. Our study aimed to investigate the effects of preoperative NRI on 30-day postoperative complications in patients with gastric cancer.

Methods

This retrospective analysis investigated 578 patients with gastric cancer. Preoperative NRI calculations were based on serum albumin levels and body weight, and receiver operating characteristic curves were used in analyzing NRI values and establishing optimal
