  • Title: Role of Prognostic Nutritional Index in patients with gastric cancer: a meta-analysis.
    Author: Wang SH, Zhai ST, Lin H.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 2016 Oct; 107(5):322-7. PubMed ID: 27285120.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to determine the role of Prognostic Nutritional Index in predicting gastric cancer. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: Studies were searched in PubMed, EMBASE and ISI Web of Science. The hazard ratios and 95% confidence interval for survival estimate were extracted from the articles and the pooled HR was computed. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Nine studies with 3203 participants met the inclusion criteria. Low PNI was associated with poor overall survival (pooled HR 1.92, 95% CI: 1.68-2.19). CONCLUSIONS: Prognostic Nutritional Index was an effective indicator for the prognosis of gastric cancer.
