- Abstract
Background Malnutrition is common in colorectal cancer patients. Malnutrition is recognized as a risk factor for adverse postoperative outcomes, yet there are no consistent diagnostic criteria for it. Thus, the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition published new universal criteria. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of malnutrition with the application of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria, and explore the correlations between Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition-defined malnutrition and postoperative clinical outcomes in colorectal cancer patients. Methods We included a cohort of 918 patients who underwent radical resection surgery for colorectal cancer from July 2014 to October 2019. Malnutrition was diagnosed based on the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria. The associations between nutritional status and postoperative clinical outcomes were analyzed by the Kaplan–Meier method, logistic and Cox regression analyses. Results Among the included patients, 23.6% were diagnosed as malnutrition based on Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria. Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition-defined malnutrition was associated with total postoperative complications [odds ratio: 1.497 (1.042–2.152), P = 0.029]. Further, Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition-diagnosed malnutrition was an independent risk factor for overall survival [hazard ratio: 1.647 (1.048–2.587), P = 0.030] and disease-free survival [hazard ratio: 1.690 (1.169–2.441), P = 0.005]. Conclusions The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria is effective to assess malnutrition. Preoperative malnutrition is associated with postoperative complications, overall survival and disease-free survival in colorectal cancer patients after radical resection surgery.
