Malnutrition determined by the controlling nutritional status score, prognostic nutritional index and hemoglobin-albumin-lymphocyte-platelet score is associated with prolonged hospital stay in liver cancer patients who underwent interventional treatment

Key Points

• Malnutrition significantly increases the length of hospital stays in liver cancer patients undergoing treatment.
• CONUT, PNI, and HALP scores effectively predict hospital duration with high relevance.
• Observational analysis of liver cancer patients highlighted these malnutrition scores as crucial indicators.
• Identifying malnutrition may help streamline care, though further validation in larger cohorts is needed.
