Abstract
Background: This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) in patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) who underwent nephrectomy.
Methods: Patients with non-metastatic ccRCC who underwent nephrectomy between 2013 and 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The GNRI was calculated within one week before surgery. The optimal cut-off value of GNRI was determined using X-tile software, and the patients were divided into a low GNRI group and a high GNRI group. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to determine prognostic factors. In addition, propensity score matching (PSM) was performed with a matching ratio of 1:3 to minimize the influence of confounding factors. Variables entered into the PSM model were as follows: sex, age, history of hypertension, history of diabetes, smoking history, BMI, tumor sidedness, pT stage, Fuhrman grade, surgical method, surgical approach, and tumor size.
Results: A total of 645 patients were included in the final analysis, with a median follow-up period of 37 months (range: 1-112 months). The optimal cut-off value of GNRI was 98, based on which patients were divided into two groups: a low GNRI group (≤ 98) and a high GNRI group (> 98). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that OS (P < 0.001), CSS (P < 0.001) and RFS (P < 0.001) in the low GNRI group were significantly worse than those in the high GNRI group. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis showed that GNRI was an independent prognostic factor of OS, CSS and RFS. Even after PSM, OS (P < 0.05), CSS (P < 0.05) and RFS (P < 0.05) in the low GNRI group were still worse than those in the high GNRI group. In addition, we observed that a low GNRI was associated with poor clinical outcomes in elderly subgroup (> 65) and young subgroup (≤ 65), as well as in patients with early (pT1-T2) and low-grade (Fuhrman I-II) ccRCC.
Conclusion: As a simple and practical tool for nutrition screening, the preoperative GNRI can be used as an independent prognostic indicator for postoperative patients with non-metastatic ccRCC. However, larger prospective studies are necessary to validate these findings.
期刊介绍：
Nutrition Journal publishes surveillance, epidemiologic, and intervention research that sheds light on i) influences (e.g., familial, environmental) on eating patterns; ii) associations between eating patterns and health, and iii) strategies to improve eating patterns among populations. The journal also welcomes manuscripts reporting on the psychometric properties (e.g., validity, reliability) and feasibility of methods (e.g., for assessing dietary intake) for human nutrition research. In addition, study protocols for controlled trials and cohort studies, with an emphasis on methods for assessing dietary exposures and outcomes as well as intervention components, will be considered.
Manuscripts that consider eating patterns holistically, as opposed to solely reductionist approaches that focus on specific dietary components in isolation, are encouraged. Also encouraged are papers that take a holistic or systems perspective in attempting to understand possible compensatory and differential effects of nutrition interventions. The journal does not consider animal studies.
In addition to the influence of eating patterns for human health, we also invite research providing insights into the environmental sustainability of dietary practices. Again, a holistic perspective is encouraged, for example, through the consideration of how eating patterns might maximize both human and planetary health.
