Proper prognostic instruments are necessary to perform optimal evaluations. The present study showed that a patient's general status (i.e., comorbidity, social quality of life, frailty) and nutritional and inflammatory statuses (i.e., lymphocyte count, albumin, prealbumin, C-reactive protein) have good predictive value on the effectiveness of AN.
