Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the clinical value of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition GLIM
criteria for the the diagnosis of malnutrition and prediction of short-term clinical outcomes in esophageal cancer who underwent curative
esophagectomy. Method This study included 158 esophageal cancer patients who were diagnosed and treated with curative esophagectomy
in Rugao People's Hospital of from January 2019 to January 2022. Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 NRS 2002 and GLIM criteria
were used for nutritional risk assessment and the diagnosis of malnutrition. All patients were divided into malnutrition and non -
malnutrition group according to the GLIM criteria and the short-term surgical outcomes between the two groups were compared. In
addition the univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the predictors of postoperative
complications Clavien-Dindo grade≥grade Ⅱ for esophageal cancer patients. Result The preoperative nutritional risk was detected
in 75 patients 47. 5% using NRS 2002 and the prevalence of malnutrition defined by GLIM criteria was 34. 2% 54 / 158 . Overall
11. 4% 18 / 158 of esophageal cancer patients had unintentional weight loss 10. 8% 17 / 158 had a low body mass index BMI and
16. 5% 26 / 158 were diagnosed with sarcopenia. Compared with the non-malnutrition group GLIM-defined malnutrition group had a
higher proportion of preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy

regression analysis demonstrated that preoperative hypoalbuminemia OR = 3. 784 95%CI = 1. 294-11. 070 P = 0. 015 and GLIMdefined malnutrition OR= 2. 834 95%CI = 1. 142-7. 029 P= 0. 025 were independent risk factors of postoperative complications for
esophageal cancer patients who underwent curative esophagectomy. Conclusion GLIM is an useful tool to evaluate the preoperative
nutritional status and predict the risk of postoperative complications and it could help surgeons to optimize the clinical management of
esophageal cancer patients
