Geriatric nutritional risk index as a prognostic marker of pTNM-stage I and II esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after curative resection.

ABSTRACT: The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is associated with mortality in several malignancies. We retrospectively analyzed whether the GNRI can predict long-term outcomes in 191 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after curative esophagectomies by evaluating their cancer-specific survival (CSS). In multivariate analyses, serum albumin (hazard ratio [HR], 2.498; p = 0.0043), GNRI (HR, 1.941; p = 0.0181), pathological tumor-node-metastasis (pTNM) stage (HR, 3.884; p < 0.0001), and tumor differentiation (HR, 2.307; p = 0.0066) were independent prognostic factors for CSS. In pTNM stage I, multivariate analysis identified C-reactive protein (HR, 7.172; p = 0.0483) and GNRI (HR, 5.579; p = 0.0291) as independent prognostic factors for CSS. In univariate analyses in pTNM stages II and III, only low GNRI (p = 0.0095) and low serum albumin levels (p = 0.0119), respectively, were significantly associated with worse CSS. In patients with low GNRI, CSS was significantly worse than in those with normal GNRI (p = 0.0011), especially in pTNM stages I (p = 0.0044) and II (p = 0.0036) groups, but not in stage III group (p = 0.5099). Preoperative GNRI may sort patients into low- or high-risk groups for shorter CSS, especially in those with pTNM stage I and II ESCC.

Project description:BackgroundThe Geriatric Nutritional Index (GNRI) has been indicated as a nutritional index which is highly associated with complications and mortality in older hospitalized patients. Moreover, early studies had suggested that GNRI is a potential prognostic indicator for some malignances. However, the prognostic value of GNRI in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients underwent neoadjuvant therapy followed by esophagectomy remains elusive.Materials and methodsThis retrospective study incorporated 373 patients with ESCC who had underwent neoadjuvant therapy followed by radical esophagectomy at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between April 2011 and September 2021. The GNRI formula was: 1.489 × albumin (g/dl) + 41.7 × current weight/ideal weight. Patients were classified as GNRI-low (GNRI < 98.7) or GNRI high (GNRI ≥ 98.7). The association between GNRI and clinical survival status were assessed utilizing Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox regression analysis.ResultsThree hundred and seventy three patients were retrospectively included in this study. 80 (21.5%) and 293 (78.5%) patients had been divided into the GNRI-low and GNRI-high groups respectively. Pathological T stage and the rate of nodal metastasis were significantly higher in the GNRI low group than in the GNRI high group (P = 0.003 and P = 0.001, respectively) among the examined demographic parameters. Furthermore, GNRI was significantly correlated with postoperative complications, patients with lower GNRI had a higher postoperative complication rate as compared with GNRI high group [Odds ratio: 2.023; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.208-3.389; P = 0.007]. Univariate analysis of 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) found that the rate of survival was considerably lower in the GNRI-low group than in the GNRI-high group (P < 0.001). However, multivariate analysis demonstrated that GNRI was not an independent risk factor.ConclusionIn patients with ESCC, low GNRI exhibited a poor nutritional indicator and related to postoperative complications after neoadjuvant therapy. Intensive follow-up after surgery should be performed for ESCC patients with low GNRI.
