Predictive value of Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) for the severity of vasculogenic erectile dysfunction.

Purpose: Our aim was to investigate the association of prognostic nutritional index (PNI) score with erectile dysfunction (ED), therefore, we prospectively evaluated the relationship between penile doppler ultrasonography (PDU) findings, PNI and Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) scores in patients with ED.

Methods: A total of 414 patients' characteristics, laboratory findings, SHIM and PNI scores were recorded. The PNI is calculated using the formula: 10 × serum albumin + 0.

Controlling nutritional status score in predicting International Society of Urological Pathology score upgrading and biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy.

Aim: The aim of our study was to assess the predictive value of controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score for the prognosis of prostate cancer.

Methods: A total of 257 patients' characteristics, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values, biopsy, and pathological specimen features were all recorded. The CONUT score was calculated for each patient from three blood parameters: total lymphocyte count (TLC), serum albumin, and cholesterol concentrations.

Predictive value of Controlling Nutritional Status score and Prognostic Nutritional Index for systemic inflammatory response syndrome/sepsis after percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Purpose: Our aim was to investigate the predictive value of Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) for systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)/sepsis after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL).

Methods: Demographic and clinical data of 422 patients who underwent PNL were evaluated. The CONUT score was calculated from lymphocyte count, serum albumin, and cholesterol, while the PNI was calculated using lymphocyte count and serum albumin.
