Abstract
Frailty is a common clinical syndrome that portends poor peri-procedural outcomes and increased mortality following transcatheter valve interventions. We reviewed frailty assessment tools in transcatheter intervention cohorts to recommend a pathway for preprocedural frailty assessment in patients referred for transcatheter valve procedures, and evaluated current evidence for frailty interventions and their efficacy in transcatheter intervention. We recommend the use of a frailty screening instrument to identify patients as frail, with subsequent referral for comprehensive geriatric assessment in these patients, to assist in selecting appropriate patients and then optimizing them for transcatheter valve interventions. Interventions to reduce preprocedural frailty are not well defined, however, data from limited cohort studies support exercise-based interventions to increase functional capacity and reduce frailty in parallel with preprocedural medical optimization.

Association Between Geriatric Nutrition Risk Index and 90-Day Mortality in Older Adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: a Retrospective Cohort Study. Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis 2024; 19:1197-1206. [PMID: 38831891 PMCID: PMC11146612 DOI: 10.2147/copd.s457422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Malnutrition adversely affects prognosis in various medical conditions, but its implications in older adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in the ICU are underexplored. The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a novel tool for assessing malnutrition risk. This study investigates the association between GNRI and 90-day mortality in this population. Methods We selected older adults with COPD admitted to the ICU from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV 2.2 database. A total of 666 patients were categorized into four groups based on their GNRI score: normal nutrition (>98), mild malnutrition (92-98), moderate malnutrition (82-91), and severe malnutrition (≤81) groups. We employed a restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis to assess the presence of a curved relationship between them and to investigate any potential threshold saturation effect. Results In multivariate Cox regression analyses, compared with individuals had normal nutrition (GNRI in Q4 >98), the adjusted HR values for GNRI in Q3 (92-98), Q2 (82-91), and Q1 (≤81) were 1.81 (95% CI: 1.27-2.58, p=0.001), 1.23 (95% CI: 0.84-1.79, p=0.296), 2.27 (95% CI: 1.57-3.29, p<0.001), respectively. The relationship between GNRI and 90-day mortality demonstrates an L-shaped curve (p=0.016), with an approximate inflection point at 101.5. Conclusion These findings imply that GNRI is a useful prognostic tool in older adults with COPD in the ICU. An L-shaped relationship was observed between GNRI and 90-day mortality in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis. The Triglycerides × Total Cholesterol × Body Weight Index (TCBI) is a simple scoring model to evaluate the status of nutrition. However, the prognostic relevance of this index in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the association of the TCBI with clinical outcomes in patients undergoing TAVR. METHODS A total of 1377 patients undergoing TAVR were evaluated in this study. The TCBI was calculated by the formula; triglyceride (mg/dL) × total cholesterol (mg/dL) × body weight (kg)/1000. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality within 3 years. RESULTS Patients with a low TCBI, based on a cut-off value of 985.3, were more likely to have elevated right atrial pressure (p = 0.04), elevated right ventricular pressure (p < 0.01), right ventricular systolic dysfunction (p < 0.01), tricuspid regurgitation ≥ moderate (p < 0.01). Patients with a low TCBI had a higher cumulative 3-year all-cause (42.3% vs. 31.6%, p < 0.01; adjusted HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.05-1.77, p = 0.02) and non-cardiovascular mortality (15.5% vs. 9.1%, p < 0.01; adjusted HR 1.95, 95% CI 1.22-3.13, p < 0.01) compared to those with a high TCBI. Adding a low TCBI to EuroSCORE II improved the predictive value for 3-year all-cause mortality (net reclassification improvement, 0.179, p < 0.01; integrated discrimination improvement, 0.005, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Patients with a low TCBI were more likely to have right-sided heart overload and exhibited an increased risk of 3-year mortality. The TCBI may provide additional information for risk stratification in patients undergoing TAVR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have proven that the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) increased in patients with malnutrition. Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) were general tools to predict the risk of mortality, but the prognostic value of them for in-hospital mortality among patients with AKI have not been validated yet. Herein, this study aims to explore the association between PNI and GNRI and 30-day mortality in patients with AKI. METHODS Demographic and clinical data of 863 adult patients with AKI were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database in 2001-2012 in this retrospective cohort study. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional regression analyses were used to explore the association between PNI and GNRI and 30-day mortality. The evaluation indexes were hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses of age, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and Simplified Acute Physiology (SAPS-II) score were also performed. RESULTS Totally, 222 (26.71%) patients died within 30 days. After adjusting for covariates, PNI ≥ 28.5 [HR = 0.71, 95%CI: (0.51-0.98)] and GNRI ≥ 83.25 [HR = 0.63, 95%CI: (0.47-0.86)] were both associated with low risk of 30-day mortality. These relationships were also found in patients who aged ≥ 65 years old. Differently, high PNI level was associated with low risk of 30-day mortality among patients with SOFA score < 6 or SAPS-II score < 43, while high GNRI was associated with low risk of 30-day mortality among those who with SOFA score ≥ 6 or SAPS-II score ≥ 43 (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION PNI and GNRI may be potential predictors of 30-day mortality in patients with AKI. Whether the PNI is more recommended for patients with mild AKI, while GNRI for those with severe AKI is needed further exploration.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Aortic stenosis (AS) is a widespread valvular disease in developed countries, primarily among the elderly. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a viable alternative to aortic valve surgery for patients with severe AS who are deemed a high surgical risk or for whom the AS is found to be inoperable. Predicting outcomes after TAVR is essential. The Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) is a new scoring method that evaluates nutritional status and inflammation. Our study is aims to examine the relationship between the NPS and outcomes for patients receiving TAVR. Material and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 370 patients who underwent TAVR across three tertiary medical centres from March 2019 to March 2023. The patients were divided into two groups based on their NPS, namely, low (0, 1, and 2) and high (3 and 4). Our study is primarily aimed to determine the one-year mortality rate. Results: Within one year, the mortality rate for the entire group was 8.6%. Nonetheless, the low-NPS group had a rate of 5.0%, whereas the high-NPS group had a rate of 13%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant, with a p-value of 0.06. Conclusions: Our results show that NPS is an independent predictor of one-year mortality in patients undergoing TAVR.

Abstract
BackgroundThe geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a simple index for evaluating the nutrition status of elderly patients. Many investigations have demonstrated that this index is associated with the prognosis of several diseases. This study aims to identify the relationship between the GNRI and recovery in elderly mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients.MethodsA total of 228 mTBI patients older than 65 years were included in this study. mTBI was defined as an injury to the brain with a loss of consciousness of 30 min or less, a duration of posttraumatic amnesia of <24 h, and an admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 13–15. The Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOSE), an outcome scale assessing functional independence, work, social activities, and personal relationships, was applied to assess the recovery of the patients. The clinical outcome was divided into complete recovery (GOSE = 8) and incomplete recovery (GOSE ≤ 7) at 6 months after the injury. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to evaluate the association between the GNRI and recovery of elderly mTBI patients, with adjustment for age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, and other important factors.ResultsThe receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis demonstrated that the cutoff value of GNRI was 97.85, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.860. Compared to the patients with a high GNRI, the patients with a low GNRI were older, had a higher prevalence of anemia, acute subdural hematoma, and subarachnoid hemorrhage, had a higher age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index value, and had lower levels of albumin, lymphocytes, and hemoglobin. Multivariable analysis showed that high GNRI was associated with a lower risk of 6-month incomplete recovery (OR, 0.770, 95% CI: 0.709–0.837, p < 0.001).ConclusionThe GNRI has utility as part of the objective risk assessment of incomplete 6-month functional recovery in elderly patients with mTBI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic significance of nutrition indicators in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is unclear. OBJECTIVES This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the prognostic value of serum albumin (SA), the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), and the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in patients with HFpEF. METHODS Databases of PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were systematically searched for all studies published up to January 2022. The prognostic significance of SA, GNRI, and PNI for HFpEF was explored. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using the STATA 15.0 software. The Quality of Prognosis Studies tool was used to assess the quality of studies. RESULTS Nine studies met the inclusion criteria, and 5603 adults with HFpEF were included in the meta-analysis. The analyses showed that a decreased SA or GNRI was significantly related to high all-cause mortality (HR: 1.98; 95% CI: 1.282-3.057; p = 0.002; and HR: 1.812;95% CI: 1.064-3.086; p = 0.029, respectively). Furthermore, a lower SA indicates a bad composite outcome of all-cause mortality and HF rehospitalization (HR: 1.768; 95% CI: 1.483-2.108; p = 0.000), and a lower GNRI was significantly associated with high cardiovascular mortality (HR: 1.922; 95% CI: 1.504-2.457;p = 0.000). However, a lower PNI did not correlate with all-cause mortality (HR: 1.176; 95% CI: 0.858-1.612, p=0.314). CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis indicates that SA and GNRI may be useful indicators to predict the prognosis of patients with HFpEF.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:2504. [PMID: 37048588 PMCID: PMC10094885 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12072504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The six-minute walk test is a practical tool for assessing functional capacity in patients with a variety of etiologies including pulmonary disease and heart failure. Six-minute walk distance (6MWD) is associated with mortality and morbidity in patients with a variety of comorbidities. We aimed to assess the prognostic impact of baseline 6MWD in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). METHODS Patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent a six-minute walk test after index admission and underwent TAVR between 2015 and 2022 were included in this retrospective study. Patients were followed up for two years or until November 2022 following TAVR. The impact of baseline 6MWD on the primary composite outcome, defined as all-cause death and all-cause readmission during the 2-year observation period following index discharge, was assessed. RESULTS A total of 299 patients (median age 86 years old, 85 men) were included. They received a 6-min walk test prior to TAVR, underwent successful TAVR procedures, and were discharged alive. The median baseline 6MWD was 204 (143, 282) meters. Shorter baseline 6MWD was associated with higher cumulative incidence of the primary outcome with an adjusted hazard ratio of 0.76 (95% confidence interval 0.58-1.01, p = 0.055) with a cutoff 6MWD of 178 m during the 2-year observation period after index discharge. CONCLUSIONS Overall, functional capacity was impaired in the elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis prior to TAVR. Patients with severe aortic stenosis having shorter baseline 6MWD tended to have higher rates of morbidity and mortality after successful TAVR. The clinical implication of aggressive cardiac rehabilitation to improve patients' functional capacity and 6MWD-guided optimal patient selection remain the future concerns.

The association between nutritional risk index and ICU outcomes across hematologic malignancy patients with acute respiratory failure. Ann Hematol 2023; 102:439-445. [PMID: 36542101 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-022-05064-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Patients with hematological malignancies (HM) are at risk of acute respiratory failure (ARF). Malnutrition, a common association with HM, has the potential to influence ICU outcomes. Geriatric nutritional risk index (G-NRI) is a score derived from albumin and weight, which reflects risk of protein-energy malnutrition. We evaluated the association between G-NRI at ICU admission and ICU mortality in HM patients with ARF. We conducted a single center retrospective study of ventilated HM patients between 2014 and 2018. We calculated G-NRI for all patients using their ICU admission albumin and weight. Our primary outcome was ICU mortality. Secondary outcomes included duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU length of stay. Two hundred eighty patients were admitted to the ICU requiring ventilation. Median age was 62 years (IQR 51-68), 42% (n = 118) were females, and median SOFA score was 11 (IQR 9-14). The most common type of HM was acute leukemia (54%) and 40% underwent hematopoietic cell transplant. Median G-NRI was 87 (IQR 79-99). ICU mortality was 51% (n = 143) with a median duration of ventilation of 4 days (IQR 2-7). Mortality across those at severe malnutrition (NRI < 83.5) was 59% (65/111) compared to 46% (76/164) across those with moderate-no risk (p = 0.047). On multivariable analysis, severe NRI (OR 2.34, 95% CI 1.04-5.27, p = 0.04) was significantly associated with ICU mortality. In this single center, exploratory study, severe G-NRI was prognostic of ICU mortality in HM patients admitted with respiratory failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The proportion of older patients who are candidates for cardiac surgery is increasing. Growing evidence has shown that malnutrition is associated with a poor prognosis after cardiac surgery. The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic implications of malnutrition defined by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition in older patients who underwent cardiac surgery. METHODS From November 2015 to January 2021, 401 older patients who underwent cardiac surgery were retrospectively enrolled and evaluated using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria. The perioperative characteristics and clinical outcomes were collected. The independent risk factors for postoperative complications and overall survival were analyzed. RESULTS The prevalence of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition-defined malnutrition was 22.7% in this study. Patients with Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition-defined malnutrition had higher risks of postoperative complications (65.9% vs 49.7%, P = .006) and poor overall survival (68.1% vs 83.9%, P = .0019). Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition-defined malnutrition was also related to a longer postoperative hospital stay and prolonged intensive care stay. Five factors were identified as independent risk factors for overall survival: Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition-defined malnutrition (P = .009), chronic heart failure (P = .007), atrial fibrillation (P = .029), operative time (P < .001) and hemoglobin (P = .044). CONCLUSION We demonstrated the prognostic implications of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition-defined malnutrition in older patients who underwent cardiac surgery for the first time. This study highlights the necessity of using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition assessment in the comprehensive preoperative risk assessment of cardiac surgery.

Am J Cardiol 2023; 186:109-116. [PMID: 36328831 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2022.10.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Revised: 09/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
Malnutrition is a common co-morbidity among candidates for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This study aimed to investigate the association between nutritional status determined by objective nutritional indices and outcomes of patients who underwent TAVI. We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library from inception until April 18, 2022 to identify studies examining the association of preprocedural nutritional status with post-TAVI outcomes. Malnutrition was defined by objective nutritional indices-controlling nutritional index, nutritional risk index, geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). The primary end point was 1-year all-cause mortality. The review included 13 observational studies and 6,785 patients who underwent TAVI. Malnutrition was associated with a higher risk of 1-year all-cause mortality, as defined by either the controlling nutritional index (hazard ratio [HR] 2.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21 to 6.03, p = 0.015), GNRI (HR 1.79, 95% CI 1.09 to 2.93, p = 0.021), or PNI (HR 1.17, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.23, p <0.001). In the meta-analysis of adjusted results, lower GNRI was independently associated with higher 1-year mortality (HR 1.70, 95% CI 1.16 to 2.50, p = 0.006). Lower GNRI was associated with increased risk of acute kidney injury (relative risk [RR] 2.21, 95% CI 1.63 to 2.99, p <0.001) and 1-year cardiovascular mortality (RR 2.50, 95% CI 1.66 to 3.78, p <0.001). Lower PNI was associated with a higher risk of major vascular complications (RR 2.99, 95% CI 1.38 to 6.51, p = 0.006). In conclusion, baseline malnutrition, as assessed by objective indices, is associated with worse outcomes after TAVI. Future studies should focus on the value of nutritional assessment and interventions to improve nutritional status in patients who underwent TAVI.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to investigate the association between the GNRI and the risk of stroke in elderly patients with hypertension. Methods A total of 5312 elderly hypertensive patients free of history of stroke were included. Multivariate Cox models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for stroke and its subtypes. Results The average time of follow-up was 3.8 years, and the median time was 3.2 years. We identified 640 individuals with stroke, of whom 526 had an ischemic stroke (IS) and 114 had a hemorrhagic stroke (HS). After adjusting for confounding variables, compared with participants in the lowest quartile of the GNRI, those in the third and fourth quartiles were associated with a decreased risk of stroke (adjusted HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.58-0.90, and adjusted HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.46-0.74, respectively, P for trend < 0.001). Similar results were found for IS and HS. Moreover, there were L-shaped associations of GNRI with new-onset HS (P for non-linearity = 0.034). Multiple sensitivity analyses and stratified analyses did not materially change the results. Conclusions In summary, we found that a lower GNRI was associated with a higher risk of incident stroke in elderly hypertensive patients. Additional prospective data collection is required to confirm our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Despite the prognostic role of frailty among elderly patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is known, its assessment still represents a challenge due to the multitude of scales proposed in literature. The aim of this study was to define the prognostic impact of a simple combined frailty model including both functional and metabolic parameters in a large cohort of patients undergoing TAVI with new generation devices. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined 1-year survival of patients affected by aortic valve stenosis treated with new generation TAVI devices from the OBSERVANT II study. Frailty of patients undergoing TAVI was stratified in four groups according to a combination of functional (geriatric status scale - GSS) and metabolic (global nutritional risk index - GNRI) assessment. Among 1985 patients included in the analysis, 1008 (51%) had no significant frailty, 246 (12%) had only functional impairment, 522 (26%) had only metabolic impairment and 209 (11%) had both functional and metabolic impairment. The presence of combined functional and metabolic frailty was associated with a two-fold increased risk of 1-year all-cause mortality (HR 2.06 [95% CI 1.35-3.14]; p = 0.001). GNRI as a single parameter had a lower impact on mortality (HR 1.48 [95% CI 1.05 - 2.09]; p = 0.027), whereas GSS did not impact on mortality (HR 1.23 [95% CI 0.77-1.97]; p = 0.386). CONCLUSIONS In a large real-world cohort of patients undergoing TAVI with new generation devices, combined functional and metabolic frailty had a significant and incremental impact on 1-year mortality.

Abstract
Background: Calculated plasma volume status (PVS) reflects volume overload based on the deviation of the estimated plasma volume (ePV) from the ideal plasma volume (iPV). Calculated PVS is associated with prognosis in the context of heart failure. This single-center study investigated the prognostic impact of PVS in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods: A total of 859 TAVI patients had been prospectively enrolled in an observational study and were included in the analysis. An optimal cutoff for PVS of −5.4% was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality or heart failure hospitalization within 1 year after TAVI. Results: A total of 324 patients had a PVS < −5.4% (no congestion), while 535 patients showed a PVS ≥ −5.4% (congestion). The primary endpoint occurred more frequently in patients with a PVS ≥ −5.4% compared to patients with PVS < −5.4% (22.6% vs. 13.0%, p < 0.001). After multivariable adjustment, PVS was confirmed as a significant predictor of the primary endpoint (HR 1.53, 95% CI 1.05–2.22, p = 0.026). Conclusions: Elevated PVS, as a marker of subclinical congestion, is significantly associated with all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization within 1 year after TAVI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a hallmark of frailty, is common among elderly patients, and is a predictor of poor outcomes in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS). The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a simple and well-established screening tool to predict the risk of morbidity and mortality in elderly patients. In this study, we evaluated whether GNRI may be used in the risk stratification and management of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). METHODS Patients with symptomatic severe AS (n = 953) who underwent transfemoral TAVR at the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein Kiel, Germany, between 2010 and 2019 (development cohort) were divided into two groups: normal GNRI ≥ 98 (no nutrition-related risk; n = 618) versus low GNRI < 98 (at nutrition-related risk; n = 335). The results were validated in an independent (validation) cohort from another high-volume TAVR centre (n = 977). RESULTS The low-GNRI group had a higher proportion of female patients (59.1% vs. 52.1%), higher median age (82.9 vs. 81.8 years), prevalence of atrial fibrillation (50.4% vs. 40.0%), median logistic EuroSCORE (17.5% vs. 15.0%) and impaired left ventricular function (<35%: 10.7% vs. 6.8%), lower median estimated glomerular filtration rate (50 vs. 57 mL/min/1.73 m2 ) and median albumin level (3.5 vs. 4.0 g/dL) compared with the normal-GNRI group. Among peri-procedural complications, Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) Stage 3 was more common in the low-GNRI group (3.6% vs. 0.6%, p = 0.002). After a mean follow-up of 21.1 months, all-cause mortality was significantly increased in the low-GNRI group compared with the normal-GNRI group (p < 0.001). This was confirmed in the validation cohort (p < 0.001). Low GNRI < 98 was identified as an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 1.44, 95% CI 1.01-2.04, p = 0.043). Other independent risk factors included albumin level < median of 4.0 g/dL, high-sensitive troponin T in the highest quartile (> 45.0 pg/mL), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in the highest quartile (> 3595 pg/mL), grade III-IV tricuspid regurgitation, pulmonary arterial hypertension, life-threatening bleeding, AKIN Stage 3 and disabling stroke. CONCLUSIONS Low GNRI score was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in patients undergoing TAVR, implying that this vulnerable group may benefit from improved preventive measures.
