Line graph showing the time‐series changes in the serum albumin concentration and PNI. Five of six patients showed an increasing trend after correction of dehydration. In Patient 4, who developed postoperative anastomotic leakage, the PNI continued to decrease until the operation. AD, admission; 1 W, 1 week after placement of a transanal drainage tube; OP, operation; PNI, prognostic nutritional index
