Core Tip

Core Tip: This recent study investigated the predictive capacity of preoperative inflammatory-nutritional biomarkers for postoperative recovery outcomes. The systemic immune-inflammation index is notable as an independent risk factor influencing early recovery following surgery. Additionally, our findings indicate correlations between preoperative inflammatory-nutritional biomarkers and prognosis in patients with pancreatic cancer. Among these biomarkers, the prognostic nutritional index showed the highest prognostic value.
