Key clinical point: A low (below cutoff) geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) score is significantly associated with worse prognosis in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Major finding: A low GNRI score was significantly associated with worse overall survival (pooled hazard ratio [pHR] 1.78; P < .01) and progression-free survival (pHR 2.31; P < .01).
Study details: This meta-analysis included seven retrospective cohort studies that provided a cutoff value for GNRI (between 92 and 104.24) and involved 2448 patients with DLBCL for whom a calculated GNRI score was available.
Disclosures: This study was supported by Key R&D Projects, Jiangxi. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
