Onodera's prognostic nutritional index in patients with pancreatic, hepatic and biliary tumors

Abstract

albumine, CTL. Severe malnutrition (albumin <2.5 g/dl, CTL <800 cells/mm 3), moderate malnutrition (albumin <3 g/dl, CTL <1200 cells/mm 3), mild malnutrition (albumin <3.5) were taken as CTL cutoff points. g/dl, CTL <1600 cells/mm 3), normal (albumin <3.5 g/dL, CTL <5000 cells/ mm 3) and lymphocytosis (> 4999 cells/mm 3). Results: The results of the onodera prognostic index report that 49.7% of the evaluated patients present high nutritional risk using serum albumin and total lymphocyte count as predictors. Conclusions: A large number of the evaluated patients present a high nutritional risk referred by the onodera prognostic index, the type of tumor that refers more cases of high nutritional risk is pancreatic cancer.
