Abstract Background The nutritional status can potentially affect the efficacy of cancer therapy. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), a simple index for evaluating nutritional status calculated from body weight and serum albumin levels, has been reported to be associated with the prognosis of various diseases. However, the relationships between GNRI and the efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are unknown. Methods The pretreatment levels of GNRI were retrospectively evaluated in 148 chemo-naïve patients with advanced NSCLC who received first-line platinum-based chemotherapy and scored as low or high. Results Patients with a high GNRI had a significantly higher overall response rate (ORR; 44.5% [95% confidence interval {CI} = 35.6%–53.9%] vs. 15.8% [95% CI = 7.4%–30.4%, p = 0.002), longer median progression-free survival (PFS; 6.3 months [95% CI = 5.6–7.2 months] vs. 3.8 months [95% CI = 2.5–4.7 months], p < 0.001), and longer median overall survival (OS; 22.8 months [95% CI = 16.7–27.2 months] vs. 8.5 months [95% CI = 5.4–16.0 months], p < 0.001) than those with low GNRI. High GNRI was independently predictive of better ORR in multivariate logistic regression analysis and longer PFS and OS in multivariate Cox proportional hazard analyses. In 71 patients who received second-line non-platinum chemotherapy, patients with high GNRI exhibited significantly longer PFS and OS than those with low GNRI (both p < 0.001). Conclusions GNRI was predictive of prolonged survival in patients with NSCLC who received first-line platinum-based chemotherapy and second-line non-platinum chemotherapy. Assessment of the nutritional status may be useful for predicting the efficacy of chemotherapy.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> We evaluated the prognostic efficacy of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in second-line pembrolizumab (PEM) therapy for patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). <b><i>Patients and Methods:</i></b> From January 2018 to October 2019, 52 mUC patients, treated previously with platinum-based chemotherapy, underwent second-line PEM therapy. Peripheral blood parameters were measured at the start of treatment: serum neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), serum albumin, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), and body height and weight. PEM was intravenously administered (200 mg every 3 weeks). The patients were organized into two groups based on their GNRI (&#x3c;92 [low GNRI] and ≥92 [high GNRI]), and the data were retrospectively analyzed. Adverse events (AEs) were evaluated and imaging studies assessed for all patients. Analyses of survival and recurrence were performed using Kaplan-Meier curves. Potential prognostic factors affecting cancer-specific survival (CSS) were assessed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. <b><i>Results:</i></b> patients’ baseline characteristics, except for their BMI and objective response rate, did not significantly differ between the two groups. The median total number of cycles of PEM therapy was significantly higher for the high-GNRI group (<i>n</i> [range]: 6 [2–20] vs. 3 [1–6]). The median CSS with second-line PEM therapy was 3.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.5–6.1) and 11.8 months (95% CI: 6.2–NA) in the low-GNRI and the high-GNRI group (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.01), respectively. Significant differences in CSS between the low- and high-CRP or -NRL groups were not found. Multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis revealed that a poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, visceral metastasis, and a low GNRI were significant prognostic factors for short CSS (95% CI: 1.62–6.10, HR: 3.14; 95% CI: 1.13–8.11, HR: 3.03; 95% CI: 1.32–8.02, HR: 3.25, respectively). Of the AEs, fatigue showed a significantly higher incidence in the low-GNRI group. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> For mUC patients receiving second-line PEM therapy, the GNRI is a useful predictive biomarker for survival outcome.

Backgrounds: The Get with The Guidelines (GWTG) heart failure (HF) risk score was developed in the GWTG inpatient HF registry to predict in-hospital mortality and has been recently reported to be associated with post-discharge long-term outcomes. Malnutrition is associated with poor outcome in ADHF patients. However, there is no information available on the long-term prognostic significance of the combination of GWTG-HF risk score and malnutrition in patients admitted for ADHF, relating to reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods: We studied 303 ADHF patients discharged with survival (HFrEF(LVEF<40%); n=180, HFpEF(LVEF≥40%;n=123). At the admission, we evaluated GWTG-HF score and nutritional status. Variables required for the GWTG-HF risk score were race, age, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, serum levels of blood urea nitrogen and sodium, and the presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Nutritional status was evaluated by Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) calculated as follows: 14.89 · serum albumin (g/dl) + 41.7 · BMI/22, and malnutrition was defined as GNRI<92. The study endpoint was cardiovascular-renal poor outcome (CVR), defined as cardiovascular death and the development of end-stage renal disease requiring renal replacement therapy. Results: During a follow-up period of 4.2±3.3 yrs, 86 patients had CVR. At multivariate Cox analysis, GWTG-HF risk score and GNRI were significantly and independently associated with CVR, in both HFrEF and HFpEF groups. The patients with both greater GWTG-HF score (>median value=35) and malnutrition had a significantly increased risk of CVR than those with either and none of them ([HFrEF] 60% vs 32% vs 16%, p<0.0001, [HFpEF] 45% vs 18% vs 12%, p<0.0001, respectively) Conclusion: Malnutrition assessed by GNRI would provide the additional long-term prognostic information to GWTG-HF risk score in patients admitted for ADHF, irrespective of the presence of reduced LV function.
