This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic relevance of nutritional and immune\u2013inflammatory biomarkers and to construct an individualised survival prediction model using machine learning techniques. Methods: A secondary analysis was performed on a cohort of 410 patients with TNM stage IV gastric adenocarcinoma who initiated HPN between 2015 and 2023. Nutritional and inflammatory indices, including the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), were assessed. Independent prognostic factors were identified using Cox proportional hazards models. A Random Survival Forest (RSF) model was constructed to estimate survival probabilities and quantify variable importance. Results: Both the CONUT score and LMR were independently associated with overall survival. In multivariate analysis, higher CONUT scores were linked to increased mortality risk (HR = 1.656, 95% CI: 1.306\u20132.101, p &lt; 0.001), whereas higher LMR values were protective (HR = 0.632, 95% CI: 0.514\u20130.777, p &lt; 0.001). The RSF model demonstrated strong predictive accuracy (C-index: 0.985\u20130.986) and effectively stratified patients by survival risk. The CONUT score exerted the greatest prognostic influence, with the LMR providing additional discriminatory value. A gradual decline in survival probability was observed with an increasing CONUT score and a decreasing LMR. Conclusions: The application of machine learning to immune\u2013nutritional data offers a robust tool for predicting survival in patients with advanced gastric cancer requiring HPN. This approach may enhance risk stratification, support individualised clinical decision-making regarding nutritional interventions, and inform treatment intensity adjustment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu17152414","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,24]],"date-time":"2025-07-24T10:28:09Z","timestamp":1753352889000},"page":"2414","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Survival Modelling Using Machine Learning and Immune\u2013Nutritional Profiles in Advanced Gastric Cancer on Home Parenteral Nutrition"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6040-5112","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konrad","family":"Matysiak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Intestinal Failure, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 60-355 Pozna\u0144, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Poznan University Hospital, 60-355 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-5800-6306","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Hojdis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Poznan University Hospital, 60-355 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6875-8868","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Szewczuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, Poznan University Hospital, 60-355 Pozna\u0144, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 60-355 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"394","article-title":"Global Cancer Statistics 2018: GLOBOCAN Estimates of Incidence and Mortality Worldwide for 36 Cancers in 185 Countries","volume":"68","author":"Bray","year":"2018","journal-title":"CA Cancer J.
