The Effect of Prognostic Nutritional Index in Postoperative Infection Following Lobectomy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients.

Background The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a valuable marker for evaluating the nutritional status associated with postoperative complications and the prognosis of patients with cancer. However, the role and clinical value of PNI in infection after lung cancer surgery remains unclear. This study examined the association between PNI and infection after lobectomy for lung cancer, focusing on the predictive value of PNI.
