Prognostic value of various nutritional risk markers in patients hospitalized for the treatment of genitourinary cancer: A retrospective study.

Background & Aims: Because malnutrition adversely affects the prognosis of patients with cancer, accurate nutritional status assessment is important. Therefore, this study aimed to verify the prognostic value of various nutritional assessment tools and compare their predictability.

Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 200 patients hospitalized for genitourinary cancer between April 2018 and December 2021.

Prognostic Value of the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) Score in Patients at Dialysis Initiation.

Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and affects their prognosis. The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score is a nutritional screening tool calculated using only blood test data. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of CONUT score in patients just initiating dialysis.
