The relationship between prognostic nutritional index and its components (albumin and lymphocyte count) and all-cause mortality in lung cancer patients: a hospital-based study with database external validation
PNI and its components-albumin and lymphocyte count-are significantly associated with all-cause mortality in lung cancer patients. PNI demonstrates promise as a practical and reproducible prognostic indicator, potentially aiding in risk stratification and clinical decision-making.
