Popis: Abstract Background Nutritional assessment and quality of life (QOL) have become important indices for therapeutic efficacy in patients with malignancies. We aim to develop and validate an easy-to-use questionnaire with prognostic value to assess nutritional status in hospitalized cancer patients. Methods A comprehensive survey focused on patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA) and 30-item European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30 Chinese version) was performed in a cohort of 22,776 patients derived from the INSCOC study. Among them, 1948 patients were followed for 3 years after admission. An observational, retrospective, cross-sectional cohort study was conducted in accordance with TRIPOD statement. Breiman's random forest model was applied to calculate variable importance (VIMP) for items in PG-SGA and EORTC QLQ-C30 (Chinese version) for nutritional recommendation. Cox regression model was employed to construct Prognosis-Related Nutritional Score for Cancer Patients (PRNS). Kaplan–Meier Survival curve, ROC and DCA were calculated to evaluate prognostic value of nutritional status categorized by PRNS, and compared with PG-SGA. Results Nutritional status was classified into 4 levels by PRNS scores: well nourished (≤ 4.5 points), mild malnourished (5–7.5 points), moderate malnourished (8–14.5 points), and severe malnourished (≥ 15 points). Significant median overall survival differences were found among nutritional status groups stratified by the PRNS (all Ps
