Prognostic impact of nutritional status on overall survival and health-related quality of life in men with advanced prostate cancerČavka, Luka (Avtor) Pohar Perme, Maja (Avtor) Rotovnik-Kozjek, Nada (Avtor) Šeruga, Boštjan (Avtor) metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancernutritional riskmalnutritionoutcomesPurpose: Prognostic role of nutritional status (NS) in patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is unknown. We hypothesized that patients’ NS at the presentation of mCRPC is prognostic for health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and overall survival (OS). Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study in mCRPC patients. At enrollment, we allocated each patient into one of four NS categories: (i) well-nourished (WN), (ii) nutritional risk without sarcopenia/cachexia (NR), (iii) sarcopenia, or (iv) cachexia. We sought the prognostic role of the NS for OS and HRQoL by regression models. Results: 141 patients were included into our study. When compared to WN patients, those with NR and cachexia had a higher chance of worse HRQoL (OR 3.45; 95% CI [1.28 to 9.09], and OR 4.17; 95% CI [1.28 to 12.5], respectively), as well as shorter OS (HR 2.04; 95% CI [1.19 to 3.39] and HR 2.9; 95% CI [1.56 to 5.41], respectively). However, when accounting for possible confounding factors, we could not prove the significant importance of NS for chosen outcomes. Conclusions: Suboptimal NS might be an unfavorable prognostic factor for HRQoL and OS. Further interventional studies focusing on therapy or prevention are warranted.20232024-04-08 15:32:34Članek v reviji155619UDK: 613.2ISSN pri članku: 2072-6643DOI: 10.3390/nu15041044COBISS_ID: 142236931sl
