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.
