Malnutrition defined by Controlling Nutritional Status score was independently associated with prognosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma primarily on elderly patients by Fei Wang, Luo Lu, Haoyu Zang, Yanhua Yue, Yang Cao, Min Chen, Yue Liu, Weiying Gu, Bai He

“…In the group of elderly patients aged over 60 years, malnutrition was independently associated with OS (HR 2.182, 95% CI 1.178–4.040, p = 0.024), but not PFS (HR 1.709, 95% CI 1.016-2.875, p = 0.070) after adjustment using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure. Conversely, for younger patients, malnutrition did not demonstrate an independent impact on either PFS or OS.Conclusion Malnutrition evaluated by CONUT score was an independent predictor for the outcome of DLBCL patients, which is exclusively caused by its effect on elderly patients.…”
