The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a useful tool to evaluate nutritional status, which is associated with postoperative complications and prognosis of patients with cancer. Recent studies have shown that PNI has important predictive value for postoperative infection in cancer patients. However, the role and clinical value of PNI in infection after radical gastrectomy remains unclear. This study investigated the relationship between PNI and infection after radical surgery for gastric cancer (GC), focusing on the predictive value of PNI.
