| Abstract |
Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a recognized indicator of both immune and nutritional status. It was firstly used as a preoperative prognostic indicator, and its role in the prognosis of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has not yet been investigated in large-scale study. The purpose of this work was to investigate the prognostic role of pretreatment PNI in patients with mRCC with sorafenib or sunitinib as first-line targeted therapy. In this retrospective single-center research, the Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of 178 mRCC patients who received first-line therapy of sorafenib or sunitinib. Log-rank test was used to compare the survival outcomes of patients with low pretreatment PNI (PNI < 51.62) and high pretreatment PNI (PNI ≥ 51.62), and Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to compare PFS and OS between these two groups. Prognostic accuracy was determined using Harrell concordance index. The overall median PFS and OS time for all 178 patients were 11 months (95% CI 9-12 months) and 24 months (95% CI 19-33 months), respectively. Patients with low pretreatment PNI both had significantly shorter median PFS (7 vs 19 months, P < 0.001) and OS (14 vs 50 months, P < 0.001) than those with high PNI. Multivariate analysis showed that pretreatment PNI was an independent predictor of OS (HR 1.658, 95% CI 1.040-2.614, P = 0.033) and an independent predictor of PFS as well (HR 1.842, 95% CI 1.226-2.766, P = 0.003). The model built by the addition of pretreatment PNI improved predictive accuracy of PFS and OS compared with the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium Model (Heng model) (c-index: 0.68 and 0.70). Comparing to NLR (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio) (0.69 and 0.72), PNI might be a preciser factor to predict PFS and OS (0.71 and 0.73). Low pretreatment PNI could be a significant risk factor for mRCC patients who received tyrosine kinase inhibitors as first-line target therapy and increase the accuracy of established prognostic model. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 September 2017.
All research outputs
#22,764,772
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Geriatric Nephrology and Urology
#1,233
of 1,493 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#284,516
of 323,702 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Geriatric Nephrology and Urology
#20
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,493 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 323,702 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
