Preoperative nutritional status plays a critical role in predicting overall survival for patients undergoing abdominal tumor surgery. A meta-analysis of 32 studies involving over 10,000 patients revealed a strong link, with a pooled hazard ratio of 1.61 indicating that better nutritional health correlates with improved survival outcomes post-surgery. As malnutrition is prevalent in this patient population, addressing nutritional needs could enhance postoperative recovery and long-term survival.
