Description
Rong Zhou and co-authors published a surgical cohort study in twenty twenty-five on whether poor nutrition predicts trouble after prostate removal in older men. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index combines blood protein and body weight into one score. Two hundred sixty-four men aged sixty-five and over who had laparoscopic prostatectomy at one center were divided by that score.
About thirty-five percent fell into the nutritional risk group. They suffered complications at nearly three times the odds of well-nourished patients. Their hospital stays ran longer and their bills higher, with the score predicting all three outcomes independently. The authors argue a cheap pre-surgery nutrition check should trigger feeding support before the operation, not rescue afterward.
