Preoperative neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and prognostic nutritional index predict survival in XXXX with @entity1149 .

@entity1 @entity32 @entity5 @entity1149 @entity787
BACKGROUND: The immunological status, consisting of " @entity32 status" and "nutritional condition," is important for the survival of @entity1 with @entity5 , including @entity1149 ( @entity1149 ). The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) reflects the @entity32 status, and the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) reflects the immunological nutritional condition. In the present study, the correlation between the NLR and the PNI as well as the consistency and magnitude of the prognostic impact of the NLR and the PNI were investigated. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of data from 334 @entity1 who had undergone a curative resection for @entity1149 . The NLR and the PNI were calculated, which was routinely performed before surgery. The correlations between the NLR and the PNI and survival were then evaluated. RESULTS: A clear inverse correlation was observed between the NLR and the PNI. The NLR was associated with sex, smoking history, the @entity787 level, @entity5 size, and vascular invasion. The PNI was associated with sex, age, smoking history, @entity5 size, histological type, @entity5 differentiation, and vascular invasion. @entity1 with NLR >= 2.5 had a significantly poorer survival outcome, and @entity1 with PNI <50 had a significantly poorer survival outcome. A multivariate analysis demonstrated that age, nodal metastasis, @entity5 differentiation, NLR, and PNI were independent predictors of disease-free and overall survival. CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrated a significant inverse correlation between the NLR and the PNI, and a high NLR and a low PNI were significantly associated with a poor survival among @entity1 who had undergone a complete resection for @entity1149 .
