Gastic cancer is a life-threatening malignancy in the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) as a guiding marker for gastric cancer patients with laparoscopic gastrectomy. We retrospectively examined the medical records of 138 gastric cancer patients who had adenocarcinoma pathological diagnosis and operated laparoscopically. Patients were divided into two groups (survived and death) and these groups were compared with clinical and laboratory parameters results. The PNI was calculated as 10 × serum albumin (g/dL) + 0.005 × total lymphocyte count (per mm 3 ). Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors of 90-day mortality. The median age of the study cohort was 62.5 (19–91) years, 98 (71%) were males, and 9 (6.5%) patients died during the 90-day after laparoscopic gastrectomy. The PNI levels were significantly lower in death group compared with survived group 37.5 (25–47.1) to 46.9 (22.8–64.9). The PNI (Odds Ratio = 0.81, 95% Confidence Interval 0.70–0.92,  p  = 0.003) was found as an independent factor for 90-day mortality in multivariate analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that 45.15 is the best-cutoff value for 90-day mortality after laparoscopic gastrectomy. 90-day mortality rate of PNI &gt; 45.15 was 2.2% and PNI ≤ 45.15 was 13.6% found. Lower PNI is associated with increased 90-day mortality in laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The PNI may be a useful marker for predicting the 90-day mortality of gastric cancer patients after laparoscopic gastrectomy.
