Description
Weihao Kong leads a 2026 multicenter study that builds a simple survival score for gastric cancer from routine blood electrolytes measured before surgery. Data came from 1,371 patients in two cohorts, a training group of 1,085 and a validation group of 286. Seven electrolytes were tested with survival models to find which ones predicted outcome on their own.
Only sodium and calcium held up as independent factors, and higher levels of each went with better survival. The combined score alone separated patients weakly, yet it split both cohorts into clearly different risk groups. The authors present it as a cheap add-on for sorting patients, not a stand-alone test.
