Abstract

We evaluated the significance of the prognostic nutritional index(PNI)and modified Glasgow Prognostic Score(mGPS)in colorectal cancer resection.

Methods: We classified 165 patients undergoing colorectal cancer excision according to PNI(>40 [n=141]and ≤40[n=24])and mGPS (A/B[n=95], C[n=44], and D [n=26]). We examined the incidence of postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay, and survival.

Results: Both indices were associated with all complications, surgical site infection(SSI), and med ian postoperative hospital stay. RI was only associated with the mGPS, whereas a long postoperative hospital stay was associated with the PNI alone. Both indices showed a relationship with survival for each clinical stage.

Conclusion: Both PNI and mGPS were useful clinical indices for patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection.
