Introduction
Gastric most cancers is without doubt one of the most typical tumors with the second-highest mortality charge amongst most cancers varieties.1 The total growing old of the inhabitants has develop into a contributing issue to the excessive incidence of gastric most cancers and related mortality amongst older people.2,3 Surgery has been the best therapy methodology for gastric most cancers, however the postoperative prognosis is poor in aged sufferers. In a earlier examine, deadly problems leading to postoperative demise have been noticed amongst aged sufferers, and the mortality charge was considerably larger in an older group than in a youthful group (0% vs 5.7%).4 Han et al5 reported that the postoperative complication charge amongst older sufferers who underwent main thoracic and stomach surgical procedure was 25.71%, which elevated to 59.38% amongst aged sufferers characterised by frailty. Many indicators have been examined in efforts to higher predict poor prognoses, corresponding to α-fetoprotein, crimson blood cell distribution width, platelet distribution width, and whole iron-binding capability.6,7 The predictive values of those indicators amongst aged people have been verified in some research, however they continue to be controversial.8
Malnutrition is frequent amongst hospitalized sufferers however usually stays underdiagnosed, particularly in aged sufferers.9 Malnutrition has been related to poor prognosis and is an impartial danger issue for nosocomial infections. Malnutrition can be related to an elevated danger of postoperative problems and poor wound therapeutic.10 Accordingly, the dietary evaluation of most cancers sufferers is receiving elevated consideration. Commonly used dietary screening and evaluation instruments, corresponding to Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT), Malnutrition Universal Screening Tools (MUST), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), are advanced and tough to make use of in medical follow. The prognostic dietary index (PNI) was first designed by Buzby et al,11 primarily based on serum albumin focus and peripheral blood lymphocyte depend. Compared with typical dietary screening instruments, the PNI is a straightforward, goal, and operable index that displays each immune standing and dietary standing.12
The PNI has not too long ago been used to judge the prognoses of most cancers sufferers and exhibited dependable prognostic significance in superior most cancers sufferers present process chemotherapy.13 Nutritional standing and immune perform modifications are likely to happen throughout the growing old course of. Accordingly, the predictive worth of the PNI could differ amongst older sufferers in numerous age teams. However, thus far, no examine has investigated the medical utility of the PNI in older sufferers with surgically resectable gastric carcinoma. The present examine was carried out as a retrospective evaluation to analyze the prognostic worth of preoperative PNI amongst older sufferers scheduled for gastric most cancers surgical procedure.
Patients and Methods
Patients
The present retrospective examine included sufferers who have been identified with gastric most cancers and underwent gastrectomy at Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital in China from January 2010 to December 2017. The inclusion standards have been: (1) age ≥60 years; (2) gastric carcinoma confirmed through histology; (3) underwent radical gastrectomy; (4) didn’t endure neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy earlier than surgical procedure; and (5) no distant metastasis was detected through imaging. The exclusion standards have been: (1) the lack to tolerate surgical procedure on account of extreme liver and kidney dysfunction; (2) different malignant tumors and end-stage illnesses; and (3) a scarcity of peripheral blood lymphocyte depend or serum albumin information inside 1 week previous to the operation. The tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) stage was categorized primarily based on the eighth version of the American Joint Committee on Cancer TNM staging system.14 Gastrectomy and lymph node dissections have been carried out in accordance with the Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines (Version 3).15 A complete of 467 aged gastric most cancers sufferers have been screened, of which 13 lacked preoperative PNI-related information and have been excluded from the cohort. The remaining 454 sufferers have been enrolled within the examine (Figure 1). The examine was permitted by the Research Ethics Committee of Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital, Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences (Approval quantity GDREC 2020023H), carried out in accordance with the declaration of Helsinki, and written knowledgeable consent was obtained from every affected person.
Data Collection and Definitions
The sufferers’ medical traits, therapy parameters, pathological information, and laboratory information have been obtained from medical data. Data used to calculate preoperative PNI scores have been obtained inside 1 week previous to surgical procedure. PNI scores have been calculated through the next method:
PNI rating = 10 × serum albumin worth (g/dL) + 0.005 × peripheral lymphocyte depend per mm3
Subgroup evaluation was carried out within the present examine to evaluate whether or not the prognostic accuracy of the PNI diverse with age. Patients aged from 60 to 74 years have been categorized because the younger aged subgroup, and people aged ≥75 years have been categorized because the previous aged subgroup. These subgroups have been categorized in response to suggestions issued by the World Health Organization.16
Follow-Up and Endpoint
Postoperative follow-up included annual medical and laboratory examinations till the tip of the follow-up interval or till the affected person’s demise, whichever got here first. The follow-up interval was terminated in September 2019. The median follow-up calculated was 3 years. The longest follow-up for sufferers enrolled in 2010 was 9 years, and the longest follow-up amongst sufferers enrolled in 2017 was 2 years. The main endpoints have been in-hospital mortality and all-cause mortality. Overall survival (OS) was outlined because the time from surgical procedure to demise or the final follow-up and was used as a measure of prognosis.
Statistical Analysis
X-tile 3.6.1 software program was used to find out the optimum cutoff worth for PNI to foretell OS. Continuous variables are represented because the imply ± customary deviation and have been in contrast utilizing Student’s t-test. Categorical variables are represented because the quantity and proportion and have been in contrast utilizing the Chi-square take a look at. Univariate evaluation was carried out to establish elements related to survival. Variables with p < 0.05 within the univariate evaluation have been included within the multivariate evaluation, which was carried out utilizing a Cox proportional hazards mannequin to establish impartial prognostic elements. Predictive values have been evaluated utilizing the receiver working attribute (ROC) methodology. Statistical analyses have been carried out utilizing SPSS 26.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) and JMP software program for Windows, model 11 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA). All exams have been two-sided, and p < 0.05 was thought of vital.
Results
Optimal PNI Cutoff Value
X-tile software program was used to find out the optimum PNI worth for the entire group. According to Figure 2A, D, and G, PNI is positively related to prognosis. The optimum worth of 45.1, 43.1 and 41.04 for the entire group, the younger aged subgroup and the previous aged subgroup, respectively, was recognized from the minimal P-value in response to OS (Figure 2B, E, and H). In addition, the OS equivalent to the cutoff values of the entire group, younger and previous group and previous group is proven in Figure 2C, F, and I. In the next evaluation, sufferers have been divided into low-PNI (≤45.1) and high-PNI (>45.1) teams in response to the PNI rating earlier than radical gastrectomy for gastric most cancers. In subgroup evaluation, the younger aged group sufferers have been divided into low PNI group (≤43.1) and excessive PNI group (>43.1). Correspondingly, the previous aged group was divided into low PNI group (≤43.1) and excessive PNI group (>41.04).

Baseline Clinical Characteristics
The baseline medical traits of the 454 gastric carcinoma sufferers who underwent gastrectomy are proven in Table 1. The examine inhabitants included 315 (69.4%) males and 139 (30.6%) ladies, with a median age of 71 years. The complete group of sufferers have been separated into high-PNI (n = 307) and low-PNI teams (n = 147) primarily based on the optimum PNI cutoff worth (45.1). The associations between preoperative PNI worth and medical traits in these two teams are summarized in Table 1.

Table 1 Clinical Characteristics of the Low- and High-PNI Groups (n = 454) |
No vital variations in intercourse, smoker standing, creatinine stage, white blood cell depend, previous medical historical past, or the full gastrectomy charge have been noticed between the 2 teams. The low-PNI group was considerably older than the high-PNI group. In the low-PNI group, leukomonocyte depend, crimson blood cell depend, hemoglobin, and albumin have been considerably decrease than the corresponding values within the high-PNI group. No vital distinction within the in-hospital mortality charge was noticed between the 2 teams, however a major distinction in long-term follow-up was recognized. Significant variations in operation mode, tumor metastasis, tumor dimension, and TNM stage have been additionally noticed between the 2 teams (Table 1).
Prognostic Value of Preoperative PNI in Gastric Cancer Patients Undergoing Surgery
The relationships between preoperative PNI values and survival outcomes are offered in Figure 3B. In the Kaplan–Meier evaluation, survival differed considerably between the low- and high-PNI teams. The log Log rank take a look at revealed that sufferers within the low-PNI group had a considerably poorer prognosis than these within the high-PNI group (χ2 = 25.790, p < 0.001; Figure 3B). The median survival time of sufferers within the low-PNI group was 4 years.

The univariate evaluation revealed {that a} excessive PNI worth was related to longer OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.391; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.652–3.461; P ≤ 0.001), as proven in Table 2. In distinction, age ≥75 years, anemia, affected by coronary coronary heart illness, metastases, bigger tumor dimension, present process whole gastrectomy, and worse TNM stage have been correlated with shorter OS. Multivariate evaluation indicated that PNI > 45.1 was a unfavourable impartial prognostic issue for OS (HR: 1.685, 95% CI: 1.120–2.534, P = 0.012, Table 2). In addition, age ≥75 years, anemia, affected by coronary coronary heart illness, metastases, bigger tumor dimension, present process whole gastrectomy, and worse TNM stage have been all recognized as impartial predictors of poor OS amongst aged sufferers who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric most cancers.

The prognostic capability of preoperative PNI was calculated utilizing ROC curve evaluation and the calculation of the world underneath the curve (AUC). The AUC of PNI for the entire group was 0.687 (95% CI: 0.636–0.739, p < 0.001), which exhibited 70.6% sensitivity and 56.5% specificity (Figure 3A).
Prognostic Value of Preoperative PNI for Different Age Subgroups
The Kaplan–Meier survival curve and Log rank take a look at indicated that preoperative PNI was considerably related to prognosis for each the younger aged group (χ2 = 22.704, p < 0.001) and the previous aged group (χ2 = 4.599, p = 0.032; Figure 3D and F). The median survival time for the low-PNI younger aged subgroup was 4 years, whereas the median survival time for the low-PNI previous aged subgroup was 2 years. The median survival instances for the high-PNI subgroups in each age classes have been >50%. In the Cox proportional hazards mannequin for the 2 age-based subgroups, preoperative PNI was recognized as an impartial prognostic indicator of gastric most cancers mortality (Table 3).

In the ROC curve evaluation, the AUC worth for preoperative PNI for the previous aged subgroup was 0.704 (95% CI: 0.615–0.794, p < 0.001), which was considerably larger than the estimated AUC worth of 0.669 for the younger aged subgroup (95% CI: 0.605–0.733, p < 0.001) (Figure 3C and E). As a prognostic indicator, preoperative PNI was extra delicate for the older aged subgroup than for the youthful aged subgroup.
Discussion
In the current examine, preoperative PNI was recognized as a major impartial predictor of poor prognosis amongst aged sufferers with gastric most cancers after radical gastrectomy. In the subgroup evaluation, the diagnostic capability of preoperative PNI was discovered to be delicate for the subgroup of sufferers ≥75 years than for the subgroup aged 60–74 years. Therefore, we speculate that the preoperative PNI rating could also be a helpful prognostic indicator amongst aged sufferers present process radical gastrectomy, significantly these aged ≥75 years.
In latest years, the broader tumor setting, particularly elements related to the dietary and inflammatory standing of sufferers, has develop into a spotlight of most cancers analysis. Nutritional standing performs an vital function within the prognosis of most cancers sufferers, particularly older sufferers. Albumin is a acknowledged dietary parameter that has been considerably related to the prognosis of gastric most cancers sufferers,12 and sufferers with gastrointestinal most cancers usually undergo from malabsorption, resulting in hypoalbuminemia. Hypoproteinemia can be thought of an indicator of malnutrition and cachexia. Patients with gastrointestinal most cancers are prone to undergo from stomach distension, vomiting, dysphagia, and different signs, corresponding to gastrointestinal obstruction, which can additional irritate hypoproteinemia.18 Systemic power irritation, which can be attributable to power oxidative stress and free radical manufacturing, is intently related to tumor improvement, proliferation, metastasis, and poor prognosis in varied kinds of most cancers.19–21 T- and B-lymphocytes and neutrophils, that are markers of systemic irritation, play distinguished roles in tumor irritation and immunity and are main predictors of survival.22,23 The mixture of malnutrition and an impaired immune system seem to advertise tumor improvement, and malnutrition is related to an elevated danger of problems and lowered tolerance to anticancer therapies.24 The PNI relies on serum albumin ranges and whole lymphocyte counts,11 reflecting each dietary and immunological standing and serving as a passable immune-nutritional marker.17
The PNI is a straightforward and straightforward index for evaluating the dietary standing of most cancers sufferers and has demonstrated worth for predicting the prognosis of assorted malignant tumors. The function of PNI scores for predicting the outcomes of chemotherapy24 and surgical procedure amongst most cancers sufferers has been demonstrated.25–27 Murakami et al28 proposed that the PNI may function a predictor of problems after gastrointestinal surgical procedure, and a PNI rating >45 was related to elevated problems following gastrointestinal surgical procedure. Tei et al29 reported that the PNI had postoperative predictive amongst aged sufferers with colorectal most cancers. In the present examine, separate Cox multivariate analyses have been carried out for steady and categorical variables. Tumor dimension, tumor metastasis, and preoperative PNI have been recognized as impartial prognostic indicators amongst aged sufferers with gastric most cancers who underwent radical gastrectomy, which is in keeping with earlier experiences.
Ever because the PNI was first launched, many research have assessed the applicability of the PNI to judge prognoses in sufferers with gastrointestinal most cancers; nevertheless, the predictive sensitivities and values have differed throughout research, which can be associated to variations within the ages of examine populations. With rising age, the dietary standing and immune perform of the human physique can decline, and even inside the aged inhabitants, bigger reductions could happen in these with older ages. According to the worldwide growing old report launched by the World Health Organization, a major distinction in perform may be noticed between these youthful than 75 years previous and people older than 75 years. Individuals older than 75 years previous have considerably lowered potential to carry out actions of day by day dwelling than these youthful than 75 years.30 Noh et al31 reported that the danger of harm amongst people older than 75 years was considerably larger than that amongst people youthful than 75 years. A examine from France reported that people 75 and older have been extra doubtless than youthful cohorts to current with signs of senile syndrome, corresponding to weak point, cognitive impairment, urinary incontinence, and malnutrition.32 To confirm the predictive worth of PNI in numerous age teams, an age-based subgroup evaluation was carried out within the current examine. All enrolled sufferers have been divided right into a younger aged subgroup and an previous aged subgroup, utilizing 75 years because the cutoff. In that evaluation, the AUC of preoperative PNI within the previous aged subgroup is greater than that for the younger aged subgroup, indicating that the predictive sensitivity of preoperative PNI was considerably larger among the many previous aged sufferers than for the younger aged sufferers inside the total group of aged sufferers.
Malnutrition is a danger issue for morbidity and mortality in important care and surgical sufferers, and extra surgical comorbidities have been recognized in aged sufferers than in youthful sufferers.32 Elderly sufferers with gastric most cancers have excessive incidences of comorbidities and postoperative problems on account of usually lowered purposeful reserve capability.33 Therefore, surgeons usually face a dilemma when considering radical gastrectomy in aged sufferers with gastric most cancers, particularly these aged >75 years. Not all aged sufferers are refused surgical procedure due to the potential surgical dangers and poor prognosis, and a few aged sufferers can profit from surgical procedure. In the present examine, low preoperative PNI scores have been related to poorer prognoses amongst aged sufferers with gastric most cancers, whereas excessive preoperative PNI scores have been related to advantages from radical surgical procedure. The PNI is an inexpensive and easy biomarker that may successfully predict the prognoses of aged sufferers with gastric most cancers after radical surgical procedure and will help surgeons when deciding whether or not to carry out radical surgical procedure in aged sufferers. However, a low preoperative PNI rating doesn’t essentially render the affected person unsuitable for radical surgical procedure. Active perioperative dietary interventions, immunotherapy, meticulous care, and shut follow-up could enhance prognoses, though these elements require additional investigation.
The current examine had a number of limitations. The retrospective design imparts inherent limitations, and the inclusion of sufferers from a single middle could have launched choice bias. Another limitation is that the presence of irritation was not assessed, and sufferers’ inflammatory states could have affected each serum albumin ranges and lymphocyte counts.
Conclusions
Among aged sufferers with gastric most cancers, a low PNI rating is an impartial predictor of poor prognosis after radical gastrectomy. Preoperative PNI is a handy, cheap, and dependable marker that can be utilized as a screening and prognostic indicator amongst aged gastric most cancers sufferers, significantly these aged ≥75 years. PNI might also represent a foundation for surgical choice and function a reference for perioperative administration.
