biostudies-literatureUnknown10(5)Wang ZNational Natural Science Foundation of China<h4>Purpose</h4>The controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score is an important tool for predicting the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC); however, its effectiveness is relatively insufficient. This study aimed to screen for more effective clinical indicators as supplements to the CONUT scoring system and improve the predictive value of CRC prognosis.<h4>Patients and methods</h4>Between 2014 and 2020, the clinical information of all CRC patients in our unit was retrospectively collected, and the CONUT scores were calculated based on the levels of serum albumin (ALB), lymphocytes (LC), and total cholesterol. The included patients were divided into the following three groups: normal nutrition (0-1), mild malnutrition (2-4), and moderate-to-severe malnutrition (5-12).
