title: [Onodera's prognostic nutritional index(PNI)and the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score(mGPS)in colorectal cancer surgery].
abstract: We evaluated the significance of the prognostic nutritional index(PNI)and modified Glasgow Prognostic Score(mGPS)in colorectal cancer resection.
  
  
  METHODS
  We classified 165 patients undergoing colorectal cancer excision according to PNI(>40 [n=141]and ≤40[n=24])and mGPS (A/B[n=95], C[n=44], and D [n=26]). We examined the incidence of postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay, and survival.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Both indices were associated with all complications, surgical site infection(SSI), and med ian postoperative hospital stay. RI was only associated with the mGPS, whereas a long postoperative hospital stay was associated with the PNI alone. Both indices showed a relationship with survival for each clinical stage.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Both PNI and mGPS were useful clinical indices for patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection.
