Controlling nutritional status score as a prognostic marker to predict overall survival in resected biliary tract cancers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of our study was to explore the prognostic significance of the preoperative controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score and establish a nomogram to predict overall survival (OS) and to achieve a more accurate prognostic risk stratification.

Methods

Clinicopathological records of 371 patients who underwent surgical resection for biliary tract cancers (BTC) from December 2002 to December 2017 were reviewed retrospectively. The associations of the CONUT score with clinicopathological factors and OS were evaluated. Univariate and multivariable Cox regression analysis were used to screen out independent predictors. A nomogram was developed and validated to estimate OS.

Results

The CONUT score was an independent predictor of OS [hazard ratio 1.478, 95% c
