This study was conducted to investigate the association between initial nutritional status and treat-ment outcome of stomach cancer patients. Initial nutritional status was measured based on weight, serum albumin and total lymphocyte counts. Treatment outcome were measured in the three categories such as complication, treatment status at discharge and mortality. The study subjects was the 209 patients with stomach cancer admitted at a university hospital in Seoul. The information about initial nutritional status and treatment outcome for 209 patients was collected from medical records. Chi-square test was used to test the association between initial nutritional status and treatment outcome. As a result, 60.3% of the subjects was classified as the nutritional risk group based on initial nutritional status. Prevalence of complication was higher in nutritional risk group than that in non-risk group (14.8% and 5.3%, p<0.05). Death rate for the nutritional risk group was significantly higher than that of non- risk group. The findings suggest the strong association existed between the initial nutritional status and treatment outcome of stomach cancer.
