Prognosis-Related Nutritional Score for Cancer Patients (PRNS): a clinical nutritional score derived from a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nutritional assessment and quality of life (QOL) have become important indices for therapeutic efficacy in patients with malignancies. We aim to develop and validate an easy-to-use questionnaire with prognostic value to assess nutritional status in hospitalized cancer patients.

Methods

A comprehensive survey focused on patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA) and 30-item European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30 Chinese version) was performed in a cohort of 22,776 patients derived from the INSCOC study. Among them, 1948 patients were followed for 3 years after admission. An observational, retrospective, cross-sectional cohort study was conducted in accordance with TRIPOD statement. B
