[PMID: 38721891 PMCID: PMC11085996 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2349122] [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: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: During the acute heart failure (AHF), acute kidney injury (AKI) is highly prevalent in critically ill patients. The occurrence of the latter condition increases the risk of mortality in patients with acute heart failure. The current research on the relationship between nutritional risk and the occurrence of acute kidney injury in patients with acute heart failure is very limited. Methods: This retrospective cohort study utilized data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV, version 2.1) database. We included adult patients with AHF who were admitted to the intensive care unit in the study. Results: A total of 1310 critically ill patients with acute heart failure were included. The AUC of geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) (0.694) is slightly superior to that of controlling nutritional status (CONUT) (0.656) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) (0.669). The Log-rank test revealed a higher risk of acute kidney injury in patients with high nutritional risk (p < 0.001). Multivariate COX regression analysis indicated that a high GNRI (adjusted HR 0.62, p < 0.001) was associated with a reduced risk of AKI during hospitalization in AHF patients. The final subgroup analysis demonstrated no significant interaction of GNRI in all subgroups except for diabetes subgroup and ventilation subgroup (P for interaction: 0.057-0.785). Conclusion: Our study findings suggest a correlation between GNRI and the occurrence of acute kidney injury in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure.

Abstract
Lenvatinib (LEN) is a multi-target TKI, which plays a pivotal role in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The inevitable occurrence of drug resistance still prevents curative potential and is deleterious for the prognosis, and a growing body of studies is accumulating, which have devoted themselves to unveiling its underlying resistance mechanism and made some progress. The dysregulation of crucial signaling pathways, non-coding RNA and RNA modifications were proven to be associated with LEN resistance. A range of drugs were found to influence LEN therapeutic efficacy. In addition, the superiority of LEN combination therapy has been shown to potentially overcome the limitations of LEN monotherapy in a series of research, and a range of promising indicators for predicting treatment response and prognosis have been discovered in recent years. In this review, we summarize the latest developments in LEN resistance, the efficacy and safety of LEN combination therapy as well as associated indicators, which may provide new insight into its resistance as well as ideas in the treatment of advanced HCC.

[PMID: 39292077 PMCID: PMC11404984 DOI: 10.1590/1806-9282.20240714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the prognostic nutritional index in predicting in-hospital mortality among patients with acute ischemic stroke. METHODS This retrospective, observational study included patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke at the emergency department of the hospital between January 1, 2022, and January 1, 2023. Demographic data, vital parameters, comorbidities, stroke interventions, and laboratory data were collected from electronic medical records. Prognostic nutritional index was calculated using serum albumin levels and a total lymphocyte count. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. RESULTS The study included 176 patients, divided into survivor (93.2%, n=164) and deceased (6.8%, n=12) groups. No significant differences were observed in age, gender, blood pressure, heart rate, or body temperature between the groups. Atrial fibrillation was significantly more common in the deceased group (50%) compared to the survivor group (18.9%) (p=0.011). The median lymphocyte count was significantly higher in the survivor group (1,353 [interquartile range, IQR 984-1,968]/mm³) compared to the deceased group (660 [IQR 462-1,188]/mm³) (p=0.009). The median albumin level was significantly lower in the deceased group (3.31 [IQR 2.67-3.4] g/dL) compared to the survivor group (3.74 [IQR 3.39-4.21] g/dL) (p<0.001). The median prognostic nutritional index was significantly higher in the survivor group (46.05 [IQR 39.1-51.3]) compared to the deceased group (36.7 [IQR 28.7-40.5]) (p<0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic for prognostic nutritional index predicting mortality was 0.791 (95%CI 0.723-0.848) (p=0.0002), with a cut-off value of ≤41.92 providing the highest diagnostic accuracy. CONCLUSIONS Prognostic nutritional index is a valuable prognostic indicator for in-hospital mortality in acute ischemic stroke patients. Low prognostic nutritional index values are associated with increased mortality risk. Incorporating prognostic nutritional index into clinical practice may aid in the early identification of high-risk patients and the optimization of treatment strategies. Further research is needed to validate these findings and explore the broader clinical applications of prognostic nutritional index.

Implication of geriatric nutritional risk index on treatment response and long-term prognosis in patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy. Int J Cardiol 2024; 407:132064. [PMID: 38670460 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2024.132064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a simple tool for assessing the nutritional status of the aging population. This study aims to explore the clinical implication of GNRI on treatment response and long-term clinical outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). METHODS Patients who underwent CRT implantation or upgrade at our hospital were retrospectively included. The association of GNRI and its tertiles with the echocardiographic response, all-cause mortality or heart transplantation, and the first hospitalization due to HF were investigated. RESULTS Totally, 647 patients were enrolled, with a median age of 60 [Interquartile Range (IQR): 52-67] years and mean score of GNRI at 107.9 ± 23.7. Super-response rates increased significantly among the GNRI T1, T2, and T3 groups (25.1%, 29.8% vs. 41.1%, P = 0.002). Patients with higher GNRI were more likely to have better LVEF improvement after multiple adjustments (OR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.04-1.23, P = 0.010). Higher GNRI was independently associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality or heart implantation (HR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.93-0.96, P < 0.001) and HF hospitalization (HR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.95-0.98, P < 0.001). The inclusion of GNRI enhanced the predictability of all-cause mortality based on traditional model, including sex, New York Heart Association functional class, left bundle branch block, QRS reduction, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide level (C statistics improved from 0.785 to 0.813, P = 0.007). CONCLUSION Higher GNRI was associated with better treatment response and long-term prognosis in HF patients with CRT. Evaluation of nutritional status among CRT population is necessary for individualized choice of potential responders.

The associations between the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index and all-cause, cancer-specific, and cardiovascular mortality in the U.S. population: a large-scale pooled survey. Nutr Metab (Lond) 2024; 21:48. [PMID: 38997737 PMCID: PMC11245820 DOI: 10.1186/s12986-024-00827-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported a close association between the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and various conditions. However, the association between the GNRI and mortality remains unclear. To examine the correlation between the GNRI and all-cause, cancer-specific, and cardiovascular mortality, this study was performed. METHODS We analyzed elderly participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005 to 2016. The GNRI was calculated using body mass index and serum albumin. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were drawn to compare the survival probability between the normal and decreased GNRI groups. Weighted multivariate Cox regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were employed to determine the linear and non-linear associations of the GNRI with all-cause, cancer-specific, and cardiovascular mortality. RESULTS A total of 3,276 participants were included in the analysis. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the decreased GNRI group had a lower survival probability for all-cause mortality and cancer-specific mortality (P < 0.001) but not for cardiovascular mortality (P > 0.05). In the full regression models, the decreased group had a higher risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.21-2.30, P = 0.002), and cancer-specific mortality (HR = 2.20, 95% CI = 1.32-3.67, P = 0.003) than the normal group. For cardiovascular mortality, no significant association with GNRI (HR = 1.39, 95% CI = 0.60-3.22, P = 0.436) was detected. Notably, the RCS analysis identified a linear downward trend between the GNRI and all-cause, alongside cancer-specific mortalities (all P for overall < 0.05). The time-dependent Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis unveiled the predictive power of the GNRI for 5-year all-cause mortality, cancer mortality, and cardiovascular mortality was 0.754, 0.757, and 0.836, respectively, after adjusting for covariates. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with a decreased GNRI had increased risks of all-cause, and cancer-specific mortality. There were linear associations of the GNRI with all-cause, and cancer-specific mortality. Nutritional status should be carefully monitored, which may improve the overall prognosis for the general population.

Abstract
Objectives: This study, based on the concept of immuno-inflammatory-metabolic (IIM) dysregulation, investigated and compared the prognostic impact of 27 indices at admission for prediction of postoperative myocardial injury (PMI) and/or hospital death in hip fracture (HF) patients. Methods: In consecutive HF patient (n = 1273, mean age 82.9 ± 8.7 years, 73.5% females) demographics, medical history, laboratory parameters, and outcomes were recorded prospectively. Multiple logistic regression and receiver-operating characteristic analyses (the area under the curve, AUC) were used to establish the predictive role for each biomarker. Results: Among 27 IIM biomarkers, 10 indices were significantly associated with development of PMI and 16 were indicative of a fatal outcome; in the subset of patients aged >80 years with ischaemic heart disease (IHD, the highest risk group: 90.2% of all deaths), the corresponding figures were 26 and 20. In the latter group, the five strongest preoperative predictors for PMI were anaemia (AUC 0.7879), monocyte/eosinophil ratio > 13.0 (AUC 0.7814), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio > 7.5 (AUC 0.7784), eosinophil count < 1.1 × 109/L (AUC 0.7780), and neutrophil/albumin × 10 > 2.4 (AUC 0.7732); additionally, sensitivity was 83.1-75.4% and specificity was 82.1-75.0%. The highest predictors of in-hospital death were platelet/lymphocyte ratio > 280.0 (AUC 0.8390), lymphocyte/monocyte ratio < 1.1 (AUC 0.8375), albumin < 33 g/L (AUC 0.7889), red cell distribution width > 14.5% (AUC 0.7739), and anaemia (AUC 0.7604), sensitivity 88.2% and above, and specificity 85.1-79.3%. Internal validation confirmed the predictive value of the models. Conclusions: Comparison of 27 IIM indices in HF patients identified several simple, widely available, and inexpensive parameters highly predictive for PMI and/or in-hospital death. The applicability of IIM biomarkers to diagnose and predict risks for chronic diseases, including OP/OF, in the preclinical stages is discussed.

Abstract
With global aging, the number of patients with heart failure has increased markedly. Heart failure is a complex condition intricately associated with aging, organ damage, frailty, and cognitive decline, resulting in a poor prognosis. The relationship among frailty, sarcopenia, cachexia, malnutrition, and heart failure has recently received considerable attention. Although these conditions are distinct, they often exhibit a remarkably close relationship. Overlapping diagnostic criteria have been observed in the recently proposed guidelines and position statements, suggesting that several of these conditions may coexist in patients with heart failure. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of these conditions is essential, and interventions must not only target these conditions individually, but also provide comprehensive management strategies. This review article provides an overview of the epidemiology, diagnostic methods, overlap, and prognosis of frailty, sarcopenia, cachexia, and malnutrition in patients with heart failure, incorporating insights from the FRAGILE-HF study data. Additionally, based on existing literature, this article discusses the impact of these conditions on the effectiveness of guideline-directed medical therapy for patients with heart failure. While recognizing these conditions early and promptly implementing interventions may be advantageous, further data, particularly from well-powered, large-scale, randomized controlled trials, are necessary to refine personalized treatment strategies for patients with heart failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is associated with morbidity and mortality in older individuals. Our study explored the relationship between GNRI, decline in kidney function, and all-cause mortality in older individuals. METHODS This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from participants aged ≥60 years who underwent a general health checkup between 2002 and 2018. The primary exposure was the GNRI, divided into quartiles. The primary and secondary outcomes were a decline in kidney function assessed using the 5-year estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and all-cause mortality, respectively. RESULTS The analysis included a total of 1,599 participants (median age, 63 years; interquartile range [IQR], 61-67; 54% males). The mean±standard deviation of GNRI was 114±7. Compared with the highest GNRI quartile, the lower GNRI quartiles were associated with steeper 5-year slopes in eGFR, with a fully adjusted beta coefficient and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of -0.50 (-0.86, -0.14), -0.29 (-0.63, 0.05), and -0.19 (-0.53, 0.14) for the first, second, and third GNRI quartiles, respectively. The median follow-up duration was 7.4 years (IQR, 4.6-12.4). During this period, we identified 108 deaths (7.8 per 1,000 person-years). The first GNRI quartile was associated with all-cause mortality compared to the highest GNRI quartile (hazard ratio of 2.20; 95% CI 1.23, 3.95). CONCLUSION Nutritional status, as evaluated using the GNRI, was associated with 5-year changes in kidney function and all-cause mortality in older individuals.

Geriatric nutritional risk index as a prognostic factor in elderly patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer: a propensity score-matched study. Int Urol Nephrol 2024; 56:1627-1637. [PMID: 38177927 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-023-03905-6] [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: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The Geriatric Nutrition Risk Index (GNRI) is a simple and validated tool used to assess the nutritional status of elderly patients and predict the risk of short-term postoperative complications, as well as the long-term prognosis, after cancer surgery. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of GNRI for the long-term postoperative prognosis in elderly patients with primary non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data from 292 elderly patients with primary NMIBC. Using X-tile software, we divided the cohort into two groups based on GNRI and determined the cut-off value for postoperative recurrence-free survival (RFS). Propensity score matching (PSM) with a ratio of 1:3, Kaplan-Meier analysis, log-rank test, and COX proportional hazards regression were used to assess the correlation between GNRI and prognosis and identify factors predicting recurrence and progression. RESULTS In the entire cohort, the 3 year recurrence group had significantly lower GNRI compared to the 3 year non-recurrence group (P = 0.0109). The determined GNRI cut-off value was 93.82. After PSM, the low GNRI group had significantly lower RFS (P < 0.0001) and progression-free survival (PFS) (P = 0.0040) than the high GNRI group. Multivariate COX regression showed that GNRI independently predicted RFS (HR 2.108; 95% CI 1.266-3.512; P = 0.004) and PFS (HR 2.155; 95% CI 1.135-4.091; P = 0.019) in elderly patients with primary NMIBC. CONCLUSION Preoperative GNRI is a prognostic marker for disease recurrence and progression in elderly patients with primary NMIBC undergoing TURBT.

Randomized Controlled Trial of Cardiac Rehabilitation Using the Balance Exercise Assist Robot in Older Adults with Cardiovascular Disease. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2024; 11:133. [PMID: 38786955 PMCID: PMC11121776 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd11050133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have investigated the effects of exercise on the functional capacity of older adults; training with a balance exercise assist robot (BEAR) effectively improves posture. This study compared the clinical safety and efficacy of training using BEAR video games to conventional resistance training in older adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS Ninety patients (mean age: 78 years) hospitalized due to worsening CVD were randomized to cardiac rehabilitation (CR) Group R (conventional resistance training) or Group B (training using BEAR). After appropriate therapy, patients underwent laboratory testing and functional evaluation using the timed up-and-go test (TUG), short physical performance battery (SPPB), and functional independence measure (FIM) just before discharge and 4 months after CR. The rates of CVD readmission, cardiac death, and fall-related fractures were monitored. RESULTS BEAR had no adverse effects during exercise. At 4 months, TUG and SPPB improved significantly in both groups, with no significant difference between them. FIM motor and the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index were significantly improved in Group B versus Group R. There was no significant difference in cardiac events and fall-related fractures between the two groups. CONCLUSION CR with BEAR is safe and comparable to conventional resistance training for improving balance in older adults with CVD.

Clin Exp Nephrol 2024; 28:300-306.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although it is widely known that patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) can develop zinc deficiency, in our previous analysis, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was not independently associated with the serum zinc level. Thus, a post hoc analysis was conducted to investigate the involvement of nutritional status. METHODS A total of 655 subjects not on dialysis (402 males; mean age, 57 ± 18 years) who underwent serum zinc level measurements at Jikei University Hospital between April 2018 and March 2019 were selected using the Standardized Structured Medical Information eXchange2 (SS-MIX2) system. In addition, anthropometric data and the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) representing nutritional status were obtained, and the relationship between the serum zinc level and nutritional status was investigated by multiple regression analysis. RESULTS The serum albumin level and the GNRI were lower in the zinc-deficiency group, and both were positively associated with the serum zinc level (rho = 0.44, P < 0.01 and rho = 0.44, P < 0.01, respectively). On multiple regression analysis, the GNRI (t = 3.09, P < 0.01) and serum albumin level (t = 4.75, P < 0.01) were independently associated with the serum zinc level. Although a higher eGFR was associated with a higher serum zinc level, this association disappeared on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION In this post hoc analysis, the GNRI, as well as the serum albumin level, were correlated with the serum zinc level, indicating that nutritional status is an important determinant of the zinc level. Further investigations are needed to clarify the effects of nutritional status and kidney function on zinc deficiency.

Abstract
The association of low prognostic nutritional index (PNI) with adverse outcomes remains conflicting in heart failure patients. To address these knowledge gaps, we performed this meta-analysis to investigate the predictive value of PNI in patients with heart failure (HF). PubMed and Embase databases were comprehensively searched until January 19, 2023, to identify studies that evaluated the predictive role of PNI in HF patients. Outcomes of interest included all-cause mortality and/or combined endpoint of mortality and re-hospitalization. Twelve studies involving 9365 patients with HF were included and analyzed. Comparison of the lowest with the highest PNI, the pooled multivariate adjusted risk ratio (RR) was 1.79 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.40-2.30) and 2.67 (95% CI 1.92-3.71) for long-term all-cause mortality and combined endpoint of mortality and re-hospitalization, respectively. Furthermore, per unit reduction in PNI was associated with 8% higher risk of all-cause mortality. However, there was no clear association of low PNI with in-hospital mortality. Low PNI may be an independent predictor of long-term all-cause mortality and re-hospitalization in patients with HF. Estimation of nutritional state using the PNI may provide an important clue for risk stratification in these patients.

Abstract
Background This meta-analysis aimed to synthesize current evidence on the association between the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods Electronic databases were systematically searched for relevant studies that investigated the association between GNRI and long-term outcomes in hemodialysis patients until November 2023. The primary outcome was the association between the GNRI (i.e., low versus high) and overall mortality risk, while the secondary outcome was the relationship between the GNRI and cardiovascular mortality risk. Results Thirty cohort studies involving 55,864 patients were included. A low GNRI was found to be significantly associated with increased overall mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.42, 95% confidence interval [CIs]: 2.10-2.79, p < 0.00001, I2 = 65%). Each unit increase in GNRI corresponded to a 5% reduction in mortality risk (HR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.93-0.96, p < 0.00001, I2 = 79%). The association remained consistent across Asian (HR = 2.45, 95% CI: 2.08-2.88, p < 0.00001, I2 = 70%) and non-Asian subgroups (HR = 2.3, 95% CI: 1.72-3.06, p < 0.00001, I2 = 23%). Meta-regression analysis of patient age (coefficient: -0.002; p = 0.896), male proportion (coefficient: 0.002; p = 0.875), percentage of diabetes mellitus (coefficient: -0.003; p = 0.605), and follow-up duration (coefficient: -0.003; p = 0.431) revealed that these moderator variables did not significantly influence the association between GNRI and overall mortality risk. Cardiovascular mortality risk also increased with low GNRI (HR, 1.93; 95%CI: 1.51-2.45, p < 0.00001; I2 = 2%). Similarly, an inverse association was observed between the GNRI values and cardiovascular mortality risk (HR, 0.94; 95% CI: 0.91-0.97; p < 0.0001; I2 = 65%) (per unit increase). Conclusion The GNRI is a simple nutritional screening tool that can be used to effectively stratify patients undergoing hemodialysis globally. Further studies are warranted to determine whether nutrition optimization based on the GNRI improves long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is associated with clinical outcomes in several diseases. However, the role of malnutrition in the risk of delirium in elderly patients in intensive care units (ICU) remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the association between the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and the risk of delirium in elderly patients in the ICU. METHODS Elderly patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) and the eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD) were included in this study, totaling 11,310 and 5,627, respectively. All subjects were stratified according to their GNRI score: those with no nutritional risk (GNRI > 98), mild nutritional risk (92 ≤ GNRI ≤ 98), moderate nutritional risk (82 ≤ GNRI ≤ 92), and severe nutritional risk (GNRI < 82). The primary outcome was delirium. RESULTS The GNRI in MIMIC-IV and eICU-CRD were 93.82 (84.88, 101.26) and 83.39 (75.95, 89.35), respectively. Compared to the cohort without nutritional risk, there was an increased risk of delirium in patients with mild nutritional risk (OR: 1.39, 95 % CI: 1.23-1.58), moderate nutritional risk (OR: 1.72, 95 % CI: 1.52-1.95), and severe nutritional risk (OR: 2.07, 95 % CI: 1.79-2.39). Inclusion of the GNRI score in the multivariate models improved the prediction of delirium. Similar results were found in the eICU-CRD database. CONCLUSIONS Nutritional assessment using the GNRI may be an independent predictor of the development of delirium in elderly patients in the ICU. The addition of the GNRI score to the delirium prediction model improves its predictive accuracy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) on the prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains unclear. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to discuss the value of the GNRI in evaluating long-term outcomes in DLBCL. METHODS We systematically and roundly retrieved PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science electronic databases from inception of the databases to March 20, 2023. At the same time, we calculated the pool hazard ratios (HRs) with their 95% confidence interval (CI) for overall survival and progression-free survival to assess the effect of GNRI on the prognosis of DLBCL patients. RESULTS In our primary meta-analysis, 7 trials with a total of 2448 patients were enrolled. Results showed that lower level of GNRI was related to poorer overall survival (HR = 1.78, 95% CI 1.27, 2.50, p < 0.01) and worse progression-free survival (HR = 2.31, 95% CI 1.71, 3.13, p < 0.01) in DLBCL patients. CONCLUSION The results of our meta-analysis indicate that a lower GNRI significantly associated with poorer prognosis for DLBCL. It is believed that GNRI was a promisingly predictive indicator of survival outcomes in DLBCL patients. However, large multicenter prospective studies are necessary to verify the results.

CNS Neurosci Ther 2024; 30:e14343. [PMID: 37408469 PMCID: PMC10848042 DOI: 10.1111/cns.14343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2022] [Revised: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS The aims of the study were to determine the relationship between preoperative geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and the occurrence of postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients after cardiac surgery and to evaluate the additive value of GNRI for predicting POD. METHODS The data were extracted from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) database. Patients who underwent cardiac surgery and were aged 65 or older were included. The relationship between preoperative GNRI and POD was investigated using logistic regression. We determined the added predictive value of preoperative GNRI for POD by measuring the changes in the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and calculating the net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). RESULTS A total of 4286 patients were included in the study, and 659 (16.1%) developed POD. Patients with POD had significantly lower GNRI scores than patients without POD (median 111.1 vs. 113.4, p < 0.001). Malnourished patients (GNRI ≤ 98) had a significantly higher risk of POD (odds ratio, 1.83, 90% CI, 1.42-2.34, p < 0.001) than those without malnutrition (GNRI > 98). This correlation remains after adjusting for confounding variables. The addition of GNRI to the multivariable models slightly but not significantly increases the AUCs (all p > 0.05). Incorporating GNRI increases NRIs in some models and IDIs in all models (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our results showed a negative association between preoperative GNRI and POD in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The addition of GNRI to POD prediction models may improve their predictive accuracy. However, these findings were based on a single-center cohort and will need to be validated in future studies involving multiple centers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition was associated with worse survival outcomes, impaired quality of life, and deteriorated performance status across various cancer types. We aimed to identify risk factors for malnutrition in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and impact on survival. METHODS In our prospective observational monocentric study, we included the patients with primary and recurrent EOC, tubal or peritoneal cancer conducted. We assessed serum laboratory parameters, body mass index, nutritional risk index, nutritional risk screening score (NRS-2002), and bio-electrical impedance analysis. RESULTS We recruited a total of 152 patients. Patients > 65 years-old, with ascites of >500 mL, or with platinum-resistant EOC showed statistically significant increased risk of malnutrition when evaluated using NRS-2002 (p-values= 0.014, 0.001, and 0.007, respectively). NRS-2002 < 3 was an independent predictive factor for complete tumor resectability (p = 0.009). The patients with NRS-2002 ≥ 3 had a median overall survival (OS) of seven months (95% CI = 0-24 months), as compared to the patients with NRS-2002 < 3, where median OS was forty-six months (p = 0.001). A phase angle (PhAα) ≤ 4.5 was the strongest predictor of OS. CONCLUSIONS In our study, we found malnutrition to be an independent predictor of incomplete cytoreduction and independent prognostic factor for poor OS. Preoperative nutritional assessment is an effective tool in the identification of high-risk EOC groups characterized by poor clinical outcome.

Abstract
Objective Recent studies have reported inconsistent results regarding the association between geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and clinical outcomes in patients with hematologic malignancies (HMs). We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of low GNRI on the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with HMs. Research Methods and Procedures We conducted the research via PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases to identify trials. Exploring the association between GNRI and prognosis in patients with HMs. A meta-analysis of OS and PFS was performed. Quality In Prognostic Studies instrument and Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment Scale were used to assess the quality of included trials. Results Fourteen studies enrolling 3,524 patients with HMs were included. Low GNRI was associated with shorter OS (Hazard ratio (HR) = 1.77; 95% CI = 1.44-2.18, p < 0.01) and PFS (HR = 1.63; 95% CI = 1.17-2.27, p < 0.01) in patients with HMs. In the subgroup analysis, GNRI was not significantly associated with prognosis in Chinese patients with HMs (OS, HR =1.33; 95% CI = 0.89-1.98, p = 0.16; PFS, HR = 1.70; 95% CI = 0.72-4.01, p = 0.23). For the subgroup with a GNRI cutoff value less than 98, there was no significant difference in PFS (HR = 1.34; 95% CI = 0.98-1.83, p = 0.06). Conclusion Low GNRI negatively impacted on the prognosis in patients with HMs. Prospective studies to identify the best cut-off value for GNRI are required.

Efficacy of prognostic nutrition index in combination with D-dimer in predicting postoperative clinical adverse events after acute type A aortic dissection: a single center retrospective study. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1210725. [PMID: 37876775 PMCID: PMC10590891 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1210725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to identify the predictive factors for adverse clinical events after surgery in patients with acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD), and to explore the predictive value of preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) combined with D-dimer for these events. Methods This study was a retrospective analysis of clinical data of 153 patients with AAAD who underwent emergency surgery at our center from January 2019 to January 2022. Patients were divided into adverse event group and non-adverse event group based on whether they experienced adverse clinical events after surgery. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for adverse events, and the predictive efficacy was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC). Results A total of 153 AAAD patients were included in the study, and were divided into the adverse event group (n = 46) and the non-adverse events group (n = 107) based on whether or not they experienced clinical adverse events after surgery. The optimal cutoff value was determined using ROC curves, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. Ultimately, it was found that preoperative PNI < 42.45 and D-dimer > 15.05 were independent predictors of postoperative clinical adverse events in AAAD patients. The odd ratios (OR) value for preoperative PNI < 42.45 is 3.596 [95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.508-8.923, p = 0.004], while the OR value for D-dimer > 15.05 is 7.572 [95% CI: 3.094-20.220, p < 0.001]. The combination of these two indicators has a high predictive value (AUC = 0.843, 95% CI: 0.774-0.912, p < 0.001) and is superior to using either variable alone. Conclusion Preoperative PNI < 42.45 and D-dimer > 15.05 are independent predictive factors for postoperative adverse events during hospitalization in patients with AAAD. The combination of these two indicators can improve the predictive accuracy, which is superior to using either variable alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of ischemic stroke in young adults (18-45 years old) is increasing gradually. However, performing nutritional assessment in stroke patients is often challenging due to the lack of an accepted standard for nutritional assessment. METHODS Two hundred sixty young stroke patients were recruited in this study and 144 cases in the good prognosis group and 116 cases in the poor prognosis group were scored according to the modified Rankin scale 90 days after treatment. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale was performed on admission and discharge of patients. Serum interleukin 6 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were detected at patient presentation. The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) was assessed on admission. Calculation formula of PNI score: serum albumin (g/L) + 5× total lymphocyte count (109/L). RESULTS The PNI at admission of young stroke patients with poor prognosis was higher than that of those with good prognosis. PNI at admission was significantly negatively correlated with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale at discharge and modified Rankin scale score after 90 days in young stroke patients. PNI at admission was also significantly negatively correlated with serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and interleukin -6 at admission. CONCLUSIONS PNI has a statistically predictive value for the 90-day prognosis of young stroke patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS This study was conducted to verify whether serum cholinesterase (ChE) is useful in predicting prognosis and discriminating undernutrition status compared to existing low-nutrition indices of blood chemical tests in patients with heart failure (HF). METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 1617 patients (1204 older patients) with HF who evaluated ChE during hospitalization were recruited for this study. The primary outcome was all-cause death, and multivariate survival analysis was performed. We drew a receiver operating characteristic curve for all-cause death, some undernutrition status, such as low body mass index, thin mid-upper arm circumference, low grip strength, and slow gait speed. The area under the curve was used to compare the predictive ability of ChE with some existing nutritional parameters, such as blood biochemical tests, controlling nutritional status (CONUT), and the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI). After adjusting for 29 variables, higher ChE significantly decreased the risk of all-cause death (per 10 increase, hazard ratio: 0.975, 95% confidence interval: 0.952-0.998), and this trend was maintained for older patients (per 10 increase, hazard ratio: 0.972, 95% confidence interval: 0.947-0.997). ChE was moderately correlated with CONUT and GNRI, but the predictive ability for all-cause death was higher for ChE relative to both scores. ChE tended to have an almost consistently high predictive ability compared with other blood biochemical tests. CONCLUSIONS ChE was associated with all-cause death and an almost consistently higher predictive ability for all-cause death and undernutrition status in comparison to existing blood chemical tests and nutritional scores.

Abstract
Background There is a significant controversy surrounding the impact of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) on mortality among elderly septic patients. This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association between GNRI at admission and 28 days mortality in elderly septic patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data collected from the MIMIC IV database between 2009 and 2019, which included 2,834 septic patients aged 65 years and above. The exposure variable was the GNRI, determined according to albumin levels, height, and weight. The primary outcome was 28 days mortality. We employed multivariable Cox regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier survival curves to examine the association between GNRI and 28 days mortality. We used restricted cubic splines to determine if there was a non-linear relationship between 28 days mortality and GNRI in elderly patients with sepsis and to examine the presence of a threshold saturation effect. In addition, interaction tests were conducted to identify subgroups that exhibited significant differences. Results A total of 2,834 elderly patients with sepsis participated in the study. Following adjustment, multivariable Cox regression analyses demonstrated that the GNRI was related to 28 days mortality (HR = 0.97, p < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.97-0.98). An L-shaped connection between GNRI and 28 days mortality was discovered via restricted cubic spline analysis, with an inflection point of 98.1. On the left side of the inflection point, GNRI levels were significantly negatively linked with 28 days mortality (HR = 0.967, 95% CI: 0.959-0.974; p < 0.001), and on the right side, there was no significant correlation (HR = 1.043, 95% CI: 0.984-1.106; p = 0.1549). Conclusion In this analysis of data from a large cohort of elderly septic patients, GNRI scores on admission were correlated with a 28 days risk of death from sepsis in the elderly suggesting that GNRI scores could serve as a valuable indicator for evaluating mortality rates among elderly septic patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).

Abstract
Aim Malnutrition, which increases the risk of liver disease-related events and mortality, is a serious complication in cirrhosis. This study aimed to investigate whether the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) could predict the long-term prognosis in patients with cirrhosis. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 266 patients with cirrhosis and classified them into two groups based on baseline GNRI scores: risk (≤98, n = 104) and no-risk groups (>98, n = 162). The cumulative survival rates were compared between the two groups in patients with compensated and decompensated cirrhosis, respectively. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to identify significant and independent factors associated with mortality. Results The median observation period was 54.9 (33.6-61.7) months and 65 (24.4%) liver disease-related deaths occurred during the follow-up period. The GNRI scores significantly and inversely correlated with Child-Pugh score (r = -0.579), model for end-stage liver disease score (r = -0.286), and Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (r = -0.494). Multivariate analysis identified low GNRI as a significant and independent factor associated with mortality [overall cohort: hazard ratio (HR), 0.926; p < 0.001; compensated cirrhosis: HR, 0.947; p = 0.003; decompensated cirrhosis: HR, 0.923; p < 0.001]. The risk group demonstrated significantly lower cumulative survival rates than the no-risk group in overall cohort, and patients with compensated and decompensated cirrhosis (p < 0.001, <0.001, and = 0.013, respectively). Conclusion Low GNRI was associated with poor long-term prognosis in both patients with compensated and decompensated cirrhosis. Therefore, the GNRI is a simple and useful tool for predicting prognosis and modifying the nutritional status in patients with cirrhosis.

Abstract
Background Identifying risk factors associated with cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) patients' prognosis can help clinicians intervene earlier and thus improve their prognosis. The correlation between the geriatric nutrition risk index (GNRI), which reflects nutritional status, and in-hospital mortality among CICU patients has yet to be established. Method The present study retrospectively enrolled 4,698 CICU patients. Based on the nutritional status, the participants were categorized into four groups. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. The length of hospital stay and length of CICU stay were the secondary endpoints. To explore the correlation between nutritional status and in-hospital mortality, a logistic regression analysis was conducted. The nonlinear associations of GNRI with in-hospital mortality were evaluated using restricted cubic spline (RCS). Furthermore, subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate the effect of the GNRI on in-hospital mortality across different subgroups, with calculation of the p for interaction. Result A higher risk of malnutrition was significantly linked to an increased incidence of in-hospital mortality (High risk vs. No risk: 26.2% vs. 4.6%, p < 0.001), as well as a longer length of hospital stay (High risk vs. No risk: 15.7, 9.1-25.1 vs. 8.9, 6.9-12.9, p < 0.001) and CICU stay (High risk vs. No risk: 6.4, 3.8-11.9 vs. 3.2, 2.3-5.1, p < 0.001). An elevated GNRI was significantly associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality even after controlling for pertinent confounding factors (High risk vs. No risk: OR, 95% CI: 2.37, 1.67-3.37, p < 0.001, p for trend <0.001). Additionally, the RCS model showed a linear relationship between GNRI and in-hospital mortality, with the risk of in-hospital mortality significantly decreasing as GNRI increased (non-linear p = 0.596). Furthermore, in the subgroups of hypertension, ventricular arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, shock, and chronic kidney disease, there was a significant interaction between nutritional status and in-hospital mortality. Conclusion Among CICU patients, a low GNRI was a significant predictor of in-hospital mortality. Furthermore, patients with a higher risk of malnutrition, as indicated by low GNRI values, experienced significantly longer hospital and CICU stays.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Invasive candidiasis is the most common hospital-acquired fungal infection in intensive care units (ICU). The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) score was developed to evaluate the nutritional status of elderly adults. We aimed to assess the association between the GNRI score and the risk of invasive candidiasis in elderly patients admitted to ICU. METHODS Hospitalization information of elderly patients with invasive candidiasis was collected retrospectively from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) IV and MIMIC-III Clinical Database CareVue subset from 2001 to 2019. The main outcome of this study was the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis in patients. We employed a multivariable Cox regression and propensity score matching to balance the influence of confounding factors on the outcome. Furthermore, we conducted sensitivity analyses by categorizing the GNRI into classes based on thresholds of 98, 92, and 81. RESULTS A total of 6739 patients were included in the study, among whom 134 individuals (2%) were diagnosed with invasive candidiasis. The GNRI scores of patients with invasive candidiasis upon admission to the ICU were significantly lower, measuring 88.67 [79.26-98.27], compared to the control group with a score of 99.36 [87.98-110.45] (P < 0.001). The results of the multivariable Cox regression analysis demonstrated a strong association between higher GNRI scores and a decreased risk of invasive candidiasis infection (HR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.97-0.99, P = 0.002). Consistently, similar results were obtained when analyzing the propensity score-matched cohort (HR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.98-1, P = 0.028). Sensitivity analyses further confirmed a significantly increased risk of invasive candidiasis infection with lower GNRI scores. Specifically, the following associations were observed: GNRI ≤ 98 (HR: 1.83, 95% CI: 1.23-2.72, P = 0.003), GNRI ≤ 92 (HR: 1.68, 95% CI: 1.17-2.4, P = 0.005), 82 ≤ GNRI ≤ 92 (HR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.01-2.64, P = 0.046), GNRI ≤ 81 (HR: 2.31, 95% CI: 1.44-3.69, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Lower GNRI score was significantly associated with an increased risk of invasive candidiasis in elderly patients in ICU. Further research is needed to validate whether improving nutrition can prevent invasive candidiasis.

Abstract
Background Spinal tuberculosis (STB) is a significant public health concern, especially in elderly patients, due to its chronic and debilitating nature. Nutritional status is a critical factor affecting the prognosis of STB patients. The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) has been established as a reliable predictor of adverse outcomes in various diseases, but its correlation with surgical outcomes in elderly STB patients has not been studied. Objective The study aimed to assess the prognostic value of the GNRI in elderly patients with STB who underwent surgery. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records of elderly patients (65 years or older) diagnosed with active STB who underwent surgical treatment. Data collection included patient demographics, comorbidities, clinical history, laboratory testing, and surgical factors. GNRI was calculated using serum albumin levels and body weight. Postoperative complications were observed and recorded. The patients were followed up for at least 1 year, and their clinical cure status was assessed based on predefined criteria. Results A total of 91 patients were included in the study. We found that a GNRI value of <98.63 g/dL was a cutoff value for predicting unfavorable clinical prognosis in elderly STB patients undergoing surgery. Patients with a low GNRI had higher Charlson Comorbidity Index scores, were more likely to receive red blood cell transfusions, and had a higher prevalence of overall complications, particularly pneumonia. The unfavorable clinical prognosis group had lower GNRI scores compared to the favorable prognosis group. Multivariate analysis showed that lower GNRI independently predicted unfavorable clinical outcomes in elderly STB patients. Conclusion The study concluded that the GNRI is a valuable biomarker for predicting prognosis in elderly STB patients undergoing surgical intervention. Patients with lower GNRI scores had worse outcomes and a higher incidence of complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition has been proven to be associated with increased risk of poor prognosis in a series of diseases. This study explored the association between poor nutritional status and prognosis in patients with ischemic heart failure (IHF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS The study enrolled 1745 patients with IHF undergoing PCI. The mean follow-up time was 28.7 months. Nutritional status was assessed by geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI). All patients were divided into four groups according to GNRI quartiles (median and interquartile range: 103.8, 99.9-107.7). The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and the secondary endpoints were each component of the primary endpoint as follows: all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), and any revascularization. The Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were performed to evaluate the incidence of the endpoints among 4 groups. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis confirmed the independent effect of GNRI on the primary endpoint and secondary endpoints. The restricted cubic spline (RCS) was performed to evaluate the non-linear association of GNRI with MACE. RESULT The negative correlation of the GNRI with MACE (Log-rank P < 0.001), all-cause mortality (Log-rank P < 0.001) and any revascularization (Log-rank P < 0.001) was confirmed through the Kaplan-Meier curves. Multivariate analysis showed that the decreased GNRI was independently related to increased risk of MACE (Quartile 1 versus Quartile 4: HR, 95% CI: 2.66, 2.01-3.51, P < 0.001), all-cause mortality (Quartile 1 versus Quartile 4: HR, 95% CI: 2.33, 1.54-3.50, P < 0.001) and any revascularization (Quartile 1 versus Quartile 4: HR, 95% CI: 3.42, 2.22-5.27, P < 0.001). In addition, the non-linear association of GNRI with MACE was shown through RCS and the risk of MACE decreased as the GNRI increased in general (Non-linear P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Decreased GNRI was an independent risk factor of MACE in IHF patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract
Many countries are facing the advent of super-aging societies, where sarcopenia and frailty will become pertinent problems. The prevalence of comorbidities is a major problem in countries with aged populations as elderly people suffer from various diseases, such as diabetes, heart failure, chronic kidney disease and dementia. All of these diseases are associated with sarcopenia and frailty, and they frequently cause falls, fractures, and a decline in activities of daily living. Fractures in the elderly people are associated with bone fragility, which is influenced by diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Nutritional support for chronic disease patients and sarcopenic individuals with adequate energy and protein intake, vitamin D supplementation, blood glucose level management for individuals with diabetes, obesity prevention, nutritional education for healthy individuals, and the enlightenment of society could be crucial to solve the health-related problems in super-aging societies.

The impact of geriatric nutritional risk index on one-year outcomes in hospitalized elderly patients with heart failure. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1190548. [PMID: 37324617 PMCID: PMC10267999 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1190548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Strategies that accurately predict outcomes in elderly heart failure (HF) patients have not been sufficiently established. In previous reports, nutritional status, ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL), and lower limb muscle strength are known prognostic factors associated with cardiac rehabilitation (CR). In the present study, we investigated which CR factors can accurately predict one-year outcomes in elderly patients with HF among the above factors. Methods Hospitalized patients with HF over 65 years of age from January 2016 to January 2022 were retrospectively enrolled in the Yamaguchi Prefectural Grand Medical (YPGM) Center. They were consequently recruited to this single-center retrospective cohort study. Nutritional status, ADL, and lower limb muscle strength were assessed by geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), Barthel index (BI), and short physical performance battery (SPPB) at discharge, respectively. One year after discharge, the primary and secondary outcomes were evaluated by all-cause death or HF readmission and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), respectively. Results Overall, 1,078 HF patients were admitted to YPGM Center. Of those, 839 (median age 84.0, 52% female) met the study criteria. During the follow-up of 228.0 days, 72 patients reached all-cause death (8%), 215 experienced HF readmission (23%), and 267 reached MACCE (30%: 25 HF death, six cardiac death, and 13 strokes). A multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed that the GNRI predicted the primary outcome (Hazard ratio [HR]: 0.957; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.934-0.980; p < 0.001) and the secondary outcome (HR: 0.963; 95%CI: 0.940-0.986; p = 0.002). Furthermore, a multiple logistic regression model using the GNRI most accurately predicted the primary and secondary outcomes compared to those with the SPPB or BI models. Conclusion A nutrition status model using GNRI provided a better predictive value than ADL ability or lower limb muscle strength. It should be recognized that HF patients with a low GNRI at discharge may have a poor prognosis at one year.

Prognostic Value of Nutritional Assessments on Overall Survival in Head and Neck Cancer Survivors with Radiation-Induced Brain Necrosis. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15081973.

Abstract
Malnutrition is related to worsened prognosis, but the association between nutritional risk status and overall survival in radiation-induced brain necrosis (RN) has never been studied. We included consecutive patients who had received radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC) and subsequently developed RN from 8 January 2005 through to 19 January 2020. The primary outcome was overall survival. We utilized three commonly-used nutritional assessments: the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), and the COntrolling NUTritional Status (CONUT) measure, to quantify the baseline nutritional risk. A total of 398 eligible patients were included. During a median follow-up of 2.3 years, 42 (10.6%) patients died of any cause. Malnutrition at admission was associated with an increased risk of future death, as assessed by the GNRI (per 1-point decreased, HR 1.05, 95%CI 1.02-1.09, p = 0.001), the PNI (per 1-point decreased, HR 1.07, 95%CI 1.03-1.12, p = 0.002), and the CONUT (per 1-point increased, HR 1.22, 95%CI 1.08-1.37, p = 0.001). There were no nonlinear correlations between all three indices and post-RN survival. Among HNC survivors with RN, the assessment of nutritional risk by composite indices upon admission could help identify patients who might be at high risk of future death and deliver better nutritional management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a common complication after stroke and may worsen neurological outcomes for patients. There are still no uniform tools for screening nutritional status for the patients with stroke. We aimed to explore the relationship between the baseline geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and neurological function at the convalescence stage for patients with stroke and assessed the predictive value of the GNRI for adverse neurological outcomes. METHODS A total of 311 patients with stroke were enrolled retrospectively. Basic information and laboratory results on admission since onset of stroke were collected. The GNRI on admission was calculated and neurological outcomes evaluated by the Barthel index at 1 month after the onset of stroke. Statistical analyses, including correlation coefficient tests, multivariate regression analyses, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses, were applied in this study. RESULTS Compared with the good outcome group, the poor outcome group showed a significantly lower GNRI on admission (P < 0.05). GNRI was associated with Barthel index (r = 0.702, P < 0.01). The GNRI was independently correlated with the Barthel index (Standardization β = 0.721, P < 0.01) and poor outcome 0.885 (95% CIs, 0.855-0.917, P < 0.01) after adjusting for covariates. Compared with no nutritional risk grades (Q4), the OR of GNRI to poor neurological outcome increased across increasing nutritional risk grades of GNRI (OR = 2.803, 95% CIs = 1.330-5.909 in Q3, 7.992, 95% CIs = 3.294-19.387 in Q2 and 14.011, 95% CIs = 3.972-49.426 in Q1, respectively, P for trend < 0.001). The area under ROC curves (AUC) of the GNRI was 0.804, which was larger than that of the NIHSS, BMI, or Albumin (P < 0.01), with an optimal cut-off value of 97.69, sensitivity of 69.51% and specificity of 77.27%. Combined GNRI with NIHSS gained the largest AUC among all the variables (all P < 0.05), with an AUC of 0.855, sensitivity of 84.75 and specificity of 72.73%. CONCLUSIONS For patients with stroke, higher nutritional risk grades at baseline indicated worse neurological function at the convalescence stage. Compared with NIHSS, BMI, and Albumin, GNRI was a competitive indicator for the risk of poor neurological outcome. The predictive property of GNRI for adverse neurological outcomes might be more powerful when combined with NIHSS.

Association of Chronic Heart Failure with Frailty, Malnutrition, and Sarcopenia Parameters in Older Patients—A Cross-Sectional Study in a Geriatric Ward. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12062305. [PMID: 36983305 PMCID: PMC10052656 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12062305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The need to assess sarcopenia and frailty in patients with chronic heart failure (HF) has recently been raised. This cross-sectional study of 416 geriatric ward patients (median age (Me)—82 (IQR, 77–86) years, 77.4% female, 96.9% community dwelling) aimed to assess the prevalence of dynapenia, frailty syndrome, functional and nutritional health, and co-morbidity regarding their HF status. We collected data from comprehensive geriatric assessment. We observed HF in 162 (38.9%) patients, with 80 (49.4%) classified as New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV. HF patients were significantly older, more frequently male, obese, hospitalized in the previous year, burdened with multimorbidity and polypharmacy, classified as frail, dependent on daily living activities, and physically non-active. Ischemic heart disease, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, anemia, chronic kidney disease, history of myocardial infarction, and stroke were found significantly more often in the HF group. A considerably higher percentage of HF patients had dynapenia (54.9% versus 41.9%, p = 0.02), but the difference was significant only in women. We found no significant difference between HF and no-HF groups regarding muscle performance, except for lower median gait speed in the HF group—0.53 m/s (0.35–0.89 m/s) versus 0.68 m/s (0.44–0.99 m/s), p = 0.02). HF patients significantly more often had low grip strength accompanied by slow gait, suggesting probable severe sarcopenia (40.4% vs. 29% in patients without HF, p = 0.046). In the regression analysis, significantly higher odds for HF were observed for lower mid-arm circumference (MAC) and dynapenia when controlling for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), calf circumference (CC), peripheral arterial disease, history of stroke, ischemic heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and diabetes mellitus. Conclusions: HF geriatric patients are often burdened with frailty, obesity, multimorbidity, and polypharmacy. As a result, they are more likely to present low muscle strength (potential sarcopenia), which is frequently accompanied by functional limitations (suggestive of more advanced stages of sarcopenia). This tendency is evident mainly in older women. Nevertheless, sarcopenia can be independently associated with HF in older patients with multimorbidity and disability who are hospitalized in a geriatric department, as a multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin B12 (cobalamin CBL) is a water-soluble vitamin required to form hematopoietic cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets). It is involved in the process of synthesizing DNA and myelin sheath. Deficiencies of vitamin B12 and/or folate can cause megaloblastic anemia (macrocytic anemia with other features due to impaired cell division). Pancytopenia is a less frequent exordium of severe vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause neuropsychiatric findings. In addition to correcting the deficiency, an essential aspect of management is determining the underlying cause because the need for additional testing, the duration of therapy, and the route of administration may differ depending on the underlying cause. METHODS Here, we present a series of four patients hospitalized for megaloblastic anemia (MA) in pancytopenia. All patients diagnosed with MA were studied for a clinic-hematological and etiological profile. RESULTS All the patients presented with pancytopenia and megaloblastic anemia. Vitamin B12 deficiency was documented in 100% of cases. There was no correlation between the severity of anemia and deficiency of the vitamin. Overt clinical neuropathy was present in none of the cases of MA, while subclinical neuropathy was seen in one case. The etiology of vitamin B12 deficiency was pernicious anemia in two cases and low food intake in the remaining cases. CONCLUSION This case study emphasizes the role of vitamin B12 deficiency as a leading cause of pancytopenia among adults.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the association of the number of natural teeth with overall dietary diversity and nutritional status in a nationally representative study among older adults in China. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional analysis was conducted among community-dwelling adults aged 65 years or older from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Study. According to the self-reported number of natural teeth, participants were categorized into ≥20, 10-19, 1-9 natural teeth, and edentulous. Dietary diversity score (DDS) was constructed based on intake frequencies of 10 food groups assessed by a simplified food frequency questionnaire. The geriatric nutritional risk index was used to measure the malnutrition status (i.e., normal, mild malnutrition, and moderate-to-severe malnutrition) among a subgroup of participants. Linear and multinomial logistic regression models were used to examine the corresponding associations. RESULTS Among 54,796 study participants, the mean (SD) age was 87.86 (11.45) years, 82.7% had poor dentition (<20 natural teeth), and 27.3% wore dentures. After multivariable adjustment, participants with poor dentition had lower DDSs (βedentulous = -0.39, 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.48, -0.30; β1-9 teeth = -0.46, 95% CI, -0.55, -0.37; β10-19 teeth = -0.36, 95% CI, -0.46, -0.26) than those with 20 natural teeth or more. For individual food items, edentulous, 1-9 and 10-19 natural teeth were associated with lower odds of regular intake of fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, meat, fish and aquatic products, eggs, legumes, preserved vegetables, tea, and garlic, but higher odds of regular intake of sugar and sweets. Among participants with poor dentition, individuals without dentures had lower intake frequencies of most food groups than those wearing dentures. In addition, poor dentition was related to lower odds of normal nutritional status (odds ratio = 0.49, 95% CI, 0.27, 0.89). CONCLUSIONS Older adults with poor dentition had significantly lower dietary diversity and worse nutritional status. Future studies are warranted to identify effective interventions to improve the dietary quality and nutrition status among partially and fully edentulous individuals, including those with Stage IV periodontitis.

Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to examine the association between the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score and adverse outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). PubMed and Embase databases were searched for eligible studies from their inceptions to December 12, 2021 to identify studies investigating the association of the CONUT score with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and all-cause mortality in CAD patients. Twelve studies (36,198 CAD) patients satisfied the criteria. Comparison of the high with low CONUT score, the pooled multivariate adjusted risk ratios (RR) was 1.78 (95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.36-2.32) for MACEs and 1.45 (95% CI 1.27-1.66) for all-cause mortality, respectively. When compared with patients with normal nutrition, malnourished (defined by the CONUT score ≥2) patients conferred a 52% increased risk of MACEs. Additionally, per point CONUT score increment was associated with 15% and 11% higher risk of MACEs and all-cause mortality, respectively. Higher CONUT score independently predicts the MACEs all-cause mortality in CAD patients. Estimation of nutritional status using the CONUT score could be helpful for improving risk classification of CAD.

Abstract
Background Malnutrition is associated with poor outcomes for geriatric patients in intensive care unit (ICU). It is important to identify patients at risk of malnutrition and provide individual nutrition support. The assessment of malnutrition risk is not easy for these patients due to their cognitive impairment. Geriatric nutrition risk index (GNRI) is a simple and objective scoring tool to evaluate the risk of malnutrition in elderly patients. In this study, we aimed to see whether GNRI score was appropriate to predict clinical outcomes among geriatric patients in the setting of ICU. Materials and methods Elderly patients with age ≥ 65 years were extracted from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Categories based on GNRI were classified as major risk (GNRI <82), moderate risk (GNRI 82 to <92), low risk (GNRI 92 to ≤98), and no risk (GNRI >98). The primary outcome was all-cause hospital mortality. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models and restricted cubic spline were used to investigate associations of GNRI with hospital mortality, respectively. A two-piecewise linear regression model was applied to examine the inflection point of GNRI on hospital mortality. To reduce selection bias, propensity score matching (PSM) was used in a 1:1 ratio. Results A total of 3,696 geriatric patients were finally included with median age 75 (69, 81) years. The prevalence of major risk was 28.6%. In the fully adjusted model, GNRI categories featured a negative trend with hospital mortality (p for trend = 0.037). Restricted cubic spline analysis demonstrated an L-shaped relationship between GNRI and hospital mortality before and after matching. The inflection point was 78.7. At the left side of inflection point, GNRI levels were significantly negatively associated with hospital mortality (HR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.94-0.98; p < 0.001) and featured no significant relations at the right side. Multiple linear regression also showed that GNRI was negatively associated with length of stay in hospital. Conclusion The major risk of malnutrition defined by GNRI was able to predict poor prognosis for geriatric patients admitted to ICU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We reviewed the literature to assess the prognostic ability of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) undergoing curative surgery. METHODS The online databases of PubMed, CENTRAL, ScienceDirect, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched for articles reporting the relationship between GNRI and outcomes in CRC patients. English language studies were searched up to 28th April 2022. RESULTS Ten studies with 3802 patients were included. Meta-analysis indicated that patients with low GNRI had significantly poor overall survival (HR: 2.41 95% CI: 1.72, 3.41 I2 = 68%) and disease-free survival (HR: 1.92 95% CI: 1.47, 2.49 I2 = 49%) as compared to those with high GNRI. The meta-analysis also indicated a significantly higher risk of complications with low GNRI as compared to high GNRI (HR: 1.98 95% CI: 1.40, 2.82 I2 = 0%). The results did not change on subgroup analysis based on study location, age group, GNRI cut-off, and sample size. CONCLUSION Current evidence indicates that GNRI can be a valuable prognostic indicator for CRC patients undergoing surgical intervention. Patients with low GNRI have poor overall and disease-free survival and a higher incidence of complications. Clinicians could use this simple indicator to stratify patients and formulate personalized treatment plans.

Abstract
Purpose The advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) is a novel inflammatory and nutritional index that exerts prognostic value in various types of cancer. A previous study demonstrated that ALI at discharge could predict the prognosis in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). However, the long-term prognostic value of ALI on admission in elderly heart failure (HF) inpatients remains unclear. Materials and methods We retrospectively collected HF inpatients over 65-year-old who were hospitalized in our cardiology center during the whole year of 2015. ALI was calculated as body mass index (BMI) × serum albumin (Alb)/neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). Patients were divided into two groups by the optimal cutoff value of ALI for predicting all-cause mortality using time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient was computed to evaluate the correlation between ALI and the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI). Kaplan–Meier curves, Cox survival analyses, time-dependent ROC analyses, and net reclassification improvement (NRI) analyses were used to assess the prognostic effect of ALI on all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality. Results Over a 28-month median follow-up, all-cause and cardiovascular mortality occurred in 192 (35.4%) and 132 (24.3%) out of 543 patients, respectively. The optimal cutoff value of ALI for predicting all-cause mortality at 2 years was 25.8. Spearman’s correlation coefficient showed a moderate positive linear correlation between ALI and GNRI (r = 0.44, p < 0.001). The Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed that the cumulative incidences of both all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities were significantly higher in patients with lower ALI (log-rank test, all-cause mortality: p < 0.0001; cardiovascular mortality: p < 0.0001). The multivariate Cox proportional hazard analyses indicated that ALI was an independent predictor for both all-cause mortality (HR 0.550, 95% CI 0.349–0.867, p = 0.01) and cardiovascular mortality (HR 0.536, 95% CI 0.302–0.953, p = 0.034). Time-dependent ROC analyses showed that ALI was comparable to GNRI in predicting long-term all-cause mortality (AUC: ALI 0.625, GNRI 0.641, p = 0.976) and cardiovascular mortality (AUC: ALI 0.632, GNRI 0.626, p = 0.999) at 2 years. However, the estimated NRI indicated that the addition of ALI could not significantly improve risk stratification of base models for all-cause mortality (categorical NRI 4.9%, p = 0.433, continuous NRI 25%, p = 0.022) or cardiovascular mortality (categorical NRI 6.5%, p = 0.223, continuous NRI 27.5%, p = 0.029). Conclusion Higher ALI was significantly associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities in elderly HF patients. ALI on admission could be a competent nutrition-inflammation marker with independent predictive value for evaluating the long-term mortality of HF in elder population.

Abstract
Malnutrition evidenced by low geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) has been suggested as a potential predictor of poor prognosis of patients with various clinical conditions. We performed a meta-analysis to systematically assess the association between GNRI and the prognosis of patients after stroke. Cohort studies were identified by search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane's Library and Web of Science databases from inception to March 25, 2022, according to the aim of the meta-analysis. A random-effect model incorporating the potential between-study heterogeneity was used to pool the results. Eight cohort studies with 13573 patients with stroke contributed to the meta-analysis. Pooled results showed that malnutrition as evidenced by low GNRI was independently associated with a higher risk of poor functional outcome [risk ratio (RR): 1.54, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.19 to 1.98, p<0.001; I2=69%] and an increased incidence of all-cause mortality (RR: 1.82, 95% CI: 1.35 to 2.47, p<0.001; I2=74%). Sensitivity analyses showed consistent results in patients with ischemic stroke, and in prospective cohort studies. Subgroup analyses showed that the associations were not significant for patients with GNRI-defined mild malnutrition (p=0.18 and 0.20 for functional and mortality outcomes, respectively), but significant for patients with moderate-severe malnutrition (both p<0.001). Difference in follow-up durations did not significantly affect the associations (p for subgroup difference=0.75 and 0.70, respectively). In conclusion, a low GNRI is associated with poor functional and survival outcomes in patients after stroke.

Abstract
Background The aim of our study was to evaluate changes in nutritional status as measured by the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) scores, and their abilities to predict clinical prognosis in patients with pacemaker implantation (PMI). Methods A total of 595 patients who underwent permanent PMI from January 2011 to December 2020 were included. PNI and GNRI scores were separately calculated at the beginning day of PMI operation and at the end of 12-month follow-up, and their net changes (Δ) were calculated by PNI or GNRI scores at follow-up minus the corresponding scores on admission. The cohort patients were divided into low risk of malnutritional status (ΔPNI or ΔGNRI scores ≥ 0) and high risk of malnutritional status (ΔPNI or ΔGNRI scores < 0) groups. Primary outcome measure was a composite major adverse cardiovascular event (MCE), defined as heart failure hospitalization (HFH), myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, or death from any cause, presented as hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) calculated by MCE in the crude or multivariate-adjusted Cox Proportional Hazards models. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to compare the differential ability to predict incident MCEs betweenΔPNI andΔGNRI scores. Results In total, 16% of patients developed the MCE during the follow-up. The cumulative event rates determined by Kaplan–Meier analysis were significantly higher in the high risk of malnutritional patients compared to the low risk of malnutritional patients (P < 0.05). Adjusted multivariate analysis showed that decreased PNI scores (HR: 2.228, 95% CI: 1.482–3.350) and decreased GNRI scores (HR: 2.178, 95% CI: 1.439–3.295) were independently associated with favorable outcomes. ROC curve analysis revealed an area under curve (AUC) of 0.586 forΔPNI scores and AUC of 0.592 for ΔGNRI scores, but their predictive abilities were not statistically different. Conclusion Either positive change of PNI or GNRI scores were associated with reduced risk of MCEs in patients with PMI, and they have similar ability to predict clinical cardiometabolic risk. Additional enhancing nutritional status during follow-up may help to prevent unfavorable prognosis in clinical practices.

Abstract
Geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), a newly developed indicator of nutritional status retrieved by serum albumin concentration and ideal body weight, has been suggested as a prognostic factor for various malignancies. The aim of the study was to summarize the prognostic role of GNRI for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a meta-analysis. Cohort studies evaluating the relationship between GNRI at baseline and survival OF NSCLC were retrieved by search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases from inception to January 12, 2022. A conservative random-effect model incorporating the possible influence of between-study heterogeneity was used to pool the results. Eleven cohorts including 2865 patients with NSCLC were included. Compared to those with higher GNRI, NSCLC patients with lower GNRI were associated with poorer overall survival [OS, hazard ratio (HR): 2.39, 95% CI: 1.97-2.91, p<0.001; I2=29%), progression-free survival (HR: 1.94, 95% CI: 1.52-2.47, p<0.001; I2=29%), and cancer-specific survival (HR: 2.59, 95% CI: 1.55-4.35, p<0.001; I2=0%). Subgroup analyses showed that the significant association between lower GNRI and worse OS in patients with NSCLC was not affected by study characteristics including study location, design, cancer stage, treatment, or follow-up durations (p for subgroup effects all<0.001). In conclusion, a lower GNRI in patients with NSCLC may be a predictor of poor survival. Nutritional status indicated by GNRI may be important for the prognostic prediction of patients with NSCLC.

This study included 925 ACS patients (mean age 62.5 ± 12.4 years, 73.5% male); 604 were diagnosed as unstable angina pectoris/non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (USAP/NSTEMI) and 321 as ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The PNI formula was: 10 × serum albumin (g/dL) + .005 × total lymphocyte count (/mm3). The patients were divided into two groups: CIN (n = 232) and non-CIN (n = 693). Patients without CIN had a significantly lower PNI than patients with CIN (44.3 ± 6.9 vs 54.7 ± 7.4; P < .001). In the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, the cut-off value for PNI of 48.6 has 80% specificity and 81% sensitivity in predicting CIN (area under the ROC curve (AUC): .87, 95% CI [.84–.89]). PNI <48.6 (odds ratio (OR): 6.765, P < .001), pre-procedural creatinine levels (OR: 6.223, P < .001), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (OR: .960, P < .001), age (OR: 1.025, P = .005), diabetes mellitus (DM) (0R: 1.768, P = .006), contrast amount (OR: 1.003, P = .038), and having STEMI (OR: .594, P = .029) were found independently associated with CIN. PNI is a strong independent predictor of CIN in ACS patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) occurs frequently after a stroke. Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a valuable indicator of elderly individuals' nutritional status. This research was designed to obtain insight into the link between GNRI and SAP. METHODS Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) were categorized into the SAP and non-SAP groups. GNRI scores were divided into four layers: Q1, GNRI < 82; Q2, 82≤ GNRI < 92; Q3, 92≤ GNRI ≤98; Q4, GNRI > 98. To identify the independent risk and protective factors of developing SAP, logistic regression analyses were conducted. Additionally, we utilized the restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis to test the effect of GNRI on the SAP risk. RESULTS The SAP group showed lower GNRI scores than the non-SAP group (96.88 ± 9.36 vs. 100.88 ± 8.25, p < 0.001). According to the logistic regression model, the Q1 and Q2 layers showed a higher risk of SAP than the Q3 layer, while the Q4 layer showed a lower SAP risk (all p < 0.05). Besides, the RCS model found that the risk of SAP dropped dramatically as GNRI scores increased, which got stable when the GNRI score was more significant than 100. CONCLUSION Lower GNRI scores were linked to a higher prevalence of SAP. In clinical practice, GNRI showed predictive value for SAP, which could be helpful in early SAP intervention and therapy.

Abstract
Background Geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is an indicator of nutritional status derived by serum albumin level and ideal body weight, which has been proposed as a predictor of prognosis for elderly population with various clinical conditions. The objective of the meta-analysis was to comprehensively evaluate the association between baseline GNRI and survival of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods Cohort studies were identified by search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases from inception to January 05, 2022 according to the aim of the meta-analysis. A random-effect model incorporating the potential between-study heterogeneity was adopted to pool the results. Results Nine studies including 3658 patients with CRC contributed to the meta-analysis. Results showed that CRC patients with lower GNRI at baseline had worse overall survival (OS, hazard ratio [HR] 2.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.78-3.23, p<0.001; I2 = 60%) and progression-free survival (PFS, HR 1.77, 95% CI 1.38-2.26, p<0.001; I2 = 33%). The results were consistent in sensitivity analyses limited to elderly patients (HR for OS 2.25, p<0.001; HR for PFS 1.65, p=0.003). Subgroup analyses showed consistent results in patents with different cancer stages, and in studies with median follow-up < and ≥ 5 years (p for subgroup effects all < 0.05). Conclusion A lower GNRI at baseline may be independent associated with poor survival outcomes of patients with CRC. Evaluating the nutritional status using GNRI may be important for risk stratification of patients with CRC.

Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index is Associated with Hospital Death in Elderly Patients with Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome: A Retrospective Study Based on the MIMIC-III Database. Front Nutr 2022; 9:834256. [PMID: 35719142 PMCID: PMC9204224 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.834256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2021] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Elderly patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) have a higher mortality during hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU). Elderly patients often suffer from malnutrition. On the basis of the MIMIC-III database, this study analyzed the effect of the baseline nutritional status on the death of elderly patients with MODS during hospitalization. Materials and Methods Elderly patients with MODS were screened out from MIMIC-III 1.4 database. The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) was calculated and used to group patients into: normal nutrition (GNRI > 98) and malnutrition (GNRI ≤ 98) groups. The malnutrition group was divided into mild (92–98), moderate (82–91), and severe (≤81) groups. The differences in the baseline data and the incidence of adverse events between groups were compared. The GAM model was used to determine whether a curve relationship was present between the hospital death of elderly patients with MODS and GNRI and analyze the threshold saturation effect. The multivariate logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) of in-hospital deaths in different GNRI groups. The interaction test was performed to find subgroups with differences. Results A total of 2456 elderly patients with MODS were enrolled. A total of 1,273 (51.8%) and 1183 (48.2%) patients were in the normal nutrition and malnutrition groups, respectively. The mortality rate of patients in the normal nutrition group during hospitalization was lower than that in the malnutrition group (206/1273 vs. 292/1183, X2 = 27.410, P < 0.001; OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.48–0.72). The GAM model fitting analysis showed a threshold saturation effect at GNRI = 92. Adjusted OR values with GNRI ≥ 92 began to change to 1, and GNRI and death had no association. At GNRI < 92, high GNRI related to low risk of death. Subgroup analysis of patients with GNRI < 92 showed that the risk of death in elderly male patients was lower than that of female patients. Conclusion GNRI is related to the severity of illness in elderly patients with MODS. At GNRI < 92, moderate to severe malnutrition increases the risk of death in elderly patients with MODS during hospitalization.

Abstract
Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a valuable simplified tool in prediction of nutrition-related complications. The objective of this meta-analysis was to investigate the association of GNRI with survival outcomes in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Relevant studies were identified by searching PubMed and Embase databases from their inception to September 30, 2020. Observational studies that investigated the association of GNRI with survival outcomes in patients with ESCC were selected. The pooled adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the lowest vs. the highest GNRI level was used to summarize the association. Eight retrospective studies involving 1460 ESCC patients were identified and included. For the lowest vs. the highest GNRI category, the pooled HR was 1.92 (95% CI 1.59-2.31) for overall survival and 1.77 (95% CI 1.19-2.62) for cancer-specific survival, respectively. Lower GNRI is significantly associated with reduced overall survival and cancer-specific survival among ESCC patients. Determination of nutritional status using GNRI has potential to improve survival stratification in patients with ESCC.Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/01635581.2022.2028865 .

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research has associated nutritional status with the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of a novel nutritional index, triglycerides × total cholesterol × body weight index (TCBI), in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). METHODS This retrospective cohort study enrolled 445 patients with DCM. The median follow-up period was 2.8 years, and the primary endpoint was all-cause death. RESULTS During follow-up, the all-cause mortality was observed in 135 out of 445 patients (30.3%). In Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the third TCBI tertile had a lower mortality risk (T3 vs. T2 vs. T1: 16.9% vs. 35.1% vs. 38.9%; log-rank P < 0.001). In the multivariable Cox regression analysis, patients in the third tertile were associated with a decreased mortality, whereas there was no significant difference between the T2 and T1 groups. Moreover, TCBI could significantly improve risk stratification (continuous net reclassification improvement and integrated discrimination improvement) over the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). CONCLUSIONS TCBI is independently associated with long-term survival in patients with DCM. Combination of TCBI and other biomarkers, such as GNRI and NT-proBNP, can significantly improve prognostic prediction. Further studies with larger sample size are required to validate our results.
