Nutrition score may predict brain surgery outcomes
NCT ID NCT05373836
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explored whether a nutritional index (PNI) can predict death and other complications after brain tumor surgery. Researchers analyzed data from over 3,200 adults who had surgery at a major hospital in South Korea. The goal was to see if this simple blood-based score could help doctors identify high-risk patients.
