Growth differentiation factor-15 and metabolic features in chronic heart failure: Insights from the SUPPORT Trial -GDF15 across the BMI spectrum. Int J Cardiol 2024; 407:132093. [PMID: 38663803 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2024.132093] [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: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND GDF15 plays pivotal metabolic roles in nutritional stress and serves as a physiological regulator of energy balance. However, the patterns of GDF15 levels in underweight or obese patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are not well-understood. METHODS We assessed serum GDF15 levels at baseline and 3 years and the temporal changes in 940 Japanese patients (642 paired samples), as a sub-analysis of the SUPPORT trial (age 65.9 ± 10.1 years). The GDF15 levels were analyzed across BMI groups (underweight [<18.5 kg/m2; n = 50], healthy weight [18.5-22.9; n = 27 5], overweight [23-24.9; n = 234], and obese [≥25; n = 381]), following WHO recommendations for the Asian-Pacific population. Landmark analysis at 3 years assessed the association between GDF15 levels and HF hospitalization or all-cause death. RESULTS Compared to the healthy weight group, the underweight group included more females (54.0%) with advanced HF (NYHA class III; 20.0%) and exhibited increased GDF15 level (1764 pg/mL [IQR 1067-2633]). Obese patients, younger (64.2 years) and diabetic (53%), had a similar GDF15 level to the healthy weight group. A higher baseline GDF15 level was associated with worse outcomes across the BMI spectrum. GDF15 increased by 208 [21-596] pg/mL over 3 years, with the most substantial increase observed in the underweight group (by +28.9% [6.2-81.0]). Persistently high GDF15 levels (≥1800 pg/mL) was independently associated with worse outcomes after 3 years (adjusted HR 1.8 [95%CI 1.1-2.9]). CONCLUSIONS In underweight patients with CHF, GDF15 level was elevated at baseline and experienced the most significant increase over 3 years. Its consistent elevation suggested a worse outcome.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).A total of 586 ACS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over 65 years old between January 2017 and December 2018 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into two groups by the optimal cutoff value of ALI. Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between ALI and the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE). Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, Cox survival analysis, and Kaplan Meier curves were used to assess the predictive value of ALI for MACEs.Spearman's nonparametric test revealed a moderate correlation between ALI and the GRACE (r: -0.417, P < 0.001). Time-dependent ROC curves showed that the area under the curve for ALI was 0.751 (95% CI, 0.699-0.798) in predicting MACEs, higher than Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (0.531, 95% CI 0.435-0.627) and Prognostic Nutritional Index (0.590, 95% CI 0.505 - 0.676), and for combined diagnostic models (ALI + GRACE) was 0.913, (95% CI 0.875 - 0.942, P < 0.001). Multivariate Cox analysis demonstrated that ALI (HR: 0.974, 95% CI: 0.952-0.996, P = 0.017) was an independent risk factor for MACEs. Kaplan Meier survival analysis showed that the cumulative incidence of MACEs was significantly higher in elderly ACS patients with lower ALI (log-rank test, P < 0.001).ALI could be a nutrition-inflammation indicator with independent predictive value for long-term MACEs of elderly ACS patients after PCI.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to develop a predictive model for the risk of major adverse events (MAEs) in type A aortic dissection (AAAD) patients with malnutrition after surgery, utilizing machine learning (ML) algorithms. Methods We retrospectively collected clinical data from AAAD patients with malnutrition who underwent surgical treatment at our center. Through least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis, we screened for preoperative and intraoperative characteristic variables. Based on the random forest (RF) algorithm, we constructed a ML predictive model, and further evaluated and interpreted this model. Results Through LASSO regression analysis and univariate analysis, we ultimately selected seven feature variables for modeling. After comparing six different ML models, we confirmed that the RF model demonstrated the best predictive performance in this dataset. Subsequently, we constructed a model using the RF algorithm to predict the risk of postoperative MAEs in AAAD patients with malnutrition. The test set results indicated that this model has excellent predictive efficacy and clinical applicability. Finally, we employed the Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) method to further interpret the predictions of this model. Conclusion We have successfully constructed a risk prediction model for postoperative MAEs in AAAD patients with malnutrition using the RF algorithm, and we have interpreted the model through the SHAP method. This model aids clinicians in early identification of high-risk patients for MAEs, thereby potentially mitigating adverse clinical outcomes associated with malnutrition.

Natriuretic peptides and C-reactive protein in in heart failure and malnutrition: a systematic review and meta-analysis. ESC Heart Fail 2024. [PMID: 38850122 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.14851] [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: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) and malnutrition exhibit overlapping risk factors, characterized by increased levels of natriuretic peptides and an inflammatory profile. The aim of this study was to compare the differences in plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), N-terminal-pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with HF and malnutrition versus normal nutrition. METHODS From inception until July 2023, the databases, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched. To examine the association among malnutrition [controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score ≥2; Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) score <92] with BNP, NT-proBNP and CRP in patients with HF, a meta-analysis using a random-effects model was conducted (CRD42023445076). RESULTS A significant association of GNRI with increased levels of BNP were demonstrated [mean difference (MD): 204.99, 95% confidence interval (CI) (101.02, 308.96, I2 = 88%, P < 0.01)], albeit no statistically significant findings were shown using CONUT [MD: 158.51, 95% CI (-1.78 to 318.79, I2 = 92%, P = 0.05)]. GNRI [MD: 1885.14, 95% CI (1428.76-2341.52, I2 = 0%, P < 0.01)] and CONUT [MD: 1160.05, 95% CI (701.04-1619.07, I2 = 0%, P < 0.01)] were associated with significantly higher levels of NT-proBNP. Patients with normal GNRI scores had significantly lower levels of CRP [MD: 0.50, 95% CI (0.12-0.88, I2 = 87%, P = 0.01)] whereas significantly higher levels of CRP were observed in those with higher CONUT [MD: 0.40, 95% CI (0.08-0.72, I2 = 88%, P = 0.01)]. Employing meta-regression, age was deemed a potential moderator between CRP and GNRI. CONCLUSIONS Normal nutrition scores in patients with HF are linked to lower BNP, NT-proBNP, and CRP levels compared with malnourished counterparts. Despite the significant link between CRP and malnutrition, their relationship may be influenced in older groups considering the sensitivity of GNRI due to ageing factors.

Abstract
AIM The role of malnutrition among patients with severe heart failure (HF) is not well established. We evaluated the incidence, predictors, and prognostic impact of malnutrition in patients with severe HF. METHODS AND RESULTS Nutritional status was measured using the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), based on body weight, height and serum albumin concentration, with malnutrition defined as GNRI ≤98. It was assessed in consecutive patients with severe HF, defined by at least one high-risk 'I NEED HELP' marker, enrolled at four Italian centres between January 2020 and November 2021. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. A total of 510 patients with data regarding nutritional status were included in the study (mean age 74 ± 12 years, 66.5% male). Among them, 179 (35.1%) had GNRI ≤98 (malnutrition). At multivariable logistic regression, lower body mass index (BMI) and higher levels of natriuretic peptides (B-type natriuretic peptide [BNP] > median value [685 pg/ml] or N-terminal proBNP > median value [5775 pg/ml]) were independently associated with a higher likelihood of malnutrition. Estimated rates of all-cause death at 1 year were 22.4% and 41.1% in patients without and with malnutrition, respectively (log-rank p < 0.001). The impact of malnutrition on all-cause mortality was confirmed after multivariable adjustment for relevant covariates (adjusted hazard ratio 2.03, 95% confidence interval 1.43-2.89, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION In a contemporary, real-world, multicentre cohort of patients with severe HF, malnutrition (defined as GNRI ≤98) was common and independently associated with an increased risk of mortality. Lower BMI and higher natriuretic peptides were identified as predictors of malnutrition in these patients.

Abstract
Nutritional risk screening is fundamental to prevent undesirable outcomes in heart failure (HF). Current reviews of nutritional screening tools encompass both hospitalized and outpatient settings, which may not be suitable because of different clinical manifestations. We hypothesize that multidimensional tools would better identify prognosis of decompensated patients because the tools assess more than isolated aspects. This systematic review aims to explore the association of multidimensional nutritional risk screening tools and prognosis in patients hospitalized with decompensated HF. Five databases were searched for studies that assessed nutritional risk through multidimensional screening tools and its association with prognosis in adults hospitalized with decompensated HF. The 95% confidence interval and relative risk were computed using a random-effects model. Inverse variance method was used. Thirty-eight studies were included. Most studies demonstrated higher nutritional risk was significantly associated with worse prognosis. Quantitative analysis identified higher nutritional risk by using the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF), Controlling Nutritional Status, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, and Prognostic Nutritional Index to be associated with all-cause mortality. The MNA-SF demonstrated greater magnitude of association with all-cause mortality in older subjects (relative risk, 4.85; 95% confidence interval, 2.0-11.75). Higher nutritional risk was associated with poor prognosis and higher mortality in patients hospitalized with decompensated HF, especially when screened by MNA-SF. Tools were not directly compared. That might reinforce the importance of evaluating multiple aspects when screening hospitalized HF patients once symptoms associated with decompensation frequently mask the underlying nutritional status and risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite increasing incidences of hypertension, recent trends in mortality and urgent dialysis following acute hypertension (AHT) remain undetermined. METHODS This retrospective observational cohort study evaluated 50 316 hospitalized AHT patients from 2010 to 2019, using an administrative claims database in Japan. We examined trends in incidence, urgent dialysis, mortality, and its risk factors using Poisson regression models. Using International Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision codes, AHT was categorized into 5 spectrums: malignant hypertension (n=1792), hypertensive emergency (n=17 907), hypertensive urgency (n=1562), hypertensive encephalopathy (n=6593), and hypertensive heart failure (HHF; n=22 462). RESULTS The median age of the patients was 76 years, and 54.9% were women. The total AHT incidence was 70 cases per 100 000 admission year. The absolute death rate increased from 1.83% (95% CI, 1.40-2.40) to 2.88% ([95% CI, 2.42-3.41]; Cochran-Armitage trend test, P<0.0001). Upward trends were observed in patients aged ≥80, with lean body mass index ≤18.4, and with HHF. Urgent dialysis rates increased from 1.52% (95% CI, 1.12-2.06) to 2.60% (2.17-3.1; Cochran-Armitage trend test; P=0.0071) in 48 235 patients, excluding maintenance dialysis patients. Older age, men, lean body mass, malignant hypertension, HHF, and underlying chronic kidney disease correlated with higher mortality risk; greater hospital volume correlated with lower mortality risk; and malignant hypertension, HHF, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and scleroderma correlated with a higher risk of urgent dialysis. CONCLUSIONS Mortality and urgent dialysis rates following AHT have increased. Aging, complex comorbidities, and HHF-type AHT contributed to the rising trend of mortality.

Nguyen HTT, Ha TTT, Tran HB, Nguyen DV, Pham HM, Tran PM, Pham TM, Allison TG, Reid CM, Kirkpatrick JN. Relationship between BMI and prognosis of chronic heart failure outpatients in Vietnam: a single-center study. Front Nutr 2023; 10:1251601. [PMID: 38099185 PMCID: PMC10720040 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1251601] [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: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Insufficient data exists regarding the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the prognosis of chronic heart failure (CHF) specifically within low- and middle-income Asian countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of BMI on adverse outcomes of ambulatory patients with CHF in Vietnam. Methods Between 2018 and 2020, we prospectively enrolled consecutive outpatients with clinically stable CHF in an observational cohort, single-center study. The participants were stratified according to Asian-specific BMI thresholds. The relationships between BMI and adverse outcomes (all-cause death and all-cause hospitalization) were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional-hazards model. Results Among 320 participants (age 63.5 ± 13.3 years, 57.9% male), the median BMI was 21.4 kg/m2 (IQR 19.5-23.6), and 10.9% were underweight (BMI <18.50 kg/m2). Over a median follow-up time of 32 months, the cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality and hospitalization were 5.6% and 19.1%, respectively. After multivariable adjustment, underweight patients had a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality than patients with normal BMI (adjusted hazard ratios = 3.03 [95% CI: 1.07-8.55]). Lower BMI remained significantly associated with a worse prognosis when analyzed as a continuous variable (adjusted hazard ratios = 1.27 [95% CI: 1.03-1.55] per 1 kg/m2 decrease for all-cause mortality). However, BMI was not found to be significantly associated with the risk of all-cause hospitalization (p > 0.05). Conclusion In ambulatory patients with CHF in Vietnam, lower BMI, especially underweight status (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), was associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality. These findings suggest that BMI should be considered for use in risk classification, and underweight patients should be managed by a team consisting of cardiologists, nutritionists, and geriatricians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was undertaken to explore the predictive value of the advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) combined with the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) for all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure (HF). METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 1123 patients with HF admitted to our cardiology department from January 2017 to October 2021. Patients were divided into four groups, according to the median ALI and GNRI. From the analysis of the relationship between the ALI and GNRI, we concluded that there was a mild positive linear correlation (r = 0.348, p < 0.001) and no interaction (p = 0.140) between the ALI and GNRI. Kaplan‒Meier analysis showed that the cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality in patients with HF was highest in Group 1 (log-rank χ2 126.244, p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed that ALI and GNRI were independent predictors of all-cause mortality in HF patients (ALI: HR 0.407, 95% CI 0.296-0.560, p < 0.001; GNRI: HR 0.967, 95% CI 0.954-0.980, p < 0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) for ALI combined with GNRI was 0.711 (p < 0.001), according to the time-dependent ROC curve. CONCLUSION ALI and GNRI were independent predictors of all-cause mortality in HF patients. Patients with HF had the highest risk of all-cause mortality when the ALI was < 24.60 and the GNRI was < 94.41. ALI combined with the GNRI has good predictive value for the prognosis of HF patients.

Abstract
Background The relationship between malnutrition and diabetic retinopathy (DR) is still unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between malnutrition and DR in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 612 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Four malnutrition assessment tools: Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, controlling nutritional status (CONUT), nutritional risk index (NRI), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI), were applied to assess the nutritional status of the study population. The association between malnutrition and DR was examined using multivariable logistic regression and ordered logistic regression. Results The proportion of malnutrition varied from 10.0% to 34.3% in total patients and from 16.3% to 45.1% in DR patients across the assessment tools. DR patients were more likely to be malnourished than patients without DR. The adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for DR of malnutrition defined by different tools were 1.86 (1.01-3.14) for GLIM criteria, 1.67 (1.04-2.70) for NRI, and 2.24 (1.07-4.69) for PNI. The aOR and 95% CI for the severity of DR of malnutrition defined by different tools were 1.99 (1.12-3.51) for GLIM criteria, 1.65 (1.06-2.58) for NRI, and 2.51 (1.31-4.79) for PNI. Conclusions Malnutrition was common in DR patients, and it was closely linked to the presence and severity of DR. Diabetic patients with DR should undergo nutritional assessment and early treatment of malnutrition to prevent the onset or progression of DR.

Abstract
Malnutrition prevails among patients with heart failure (HF), increasing the likelihood of functional decline. We assessed the predictive value of the Hemoglobin-Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (H-GNRI)-combining hemoglobin and the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI)-on prognosis in older patients with HF. We used the JMDC multicenter database to examine the potential associations between malnutrition risk and other outcome measures. The patients were categorized as low- (H-GNRI score = 0), intermediate- (H-GNRI score = 1), or high-risk (H-GNRI score = 2) based on their H-GNRI scores. The primary outcome measure was the Barthel Index (BI) gain; the secondary outcomes included the BI at discharge, the BI efficiency, length of hospital stay, in-hospital mortality, discharge to home or a nursing home, and hospitalization-associated disability. We analyzed 3532 patients, with 244 being low-risk, 952 being intermediate-risk, and 2336 being high-risk patients. The high-risk group of patients had significantly lower BI values at discharge, lower BI gains, reduced BI efficiency values, and prolonged hospital stays compared to those in the low-risk group. The high-risk patients also had higher in-hospital mortality rates, lower rates of discharge to home or a nursing home, and greater incidences of a hospitalization-associated disability in comparison to the low-risk group. The H-GNRI may serve as a valuable tool for determining prognoses for patients with HF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition may be an important geriatric condition in adults with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but studies on its prevalence and associated clinical outcomes are limited. The aim of this study was to determine if malnutrition is associated with short-term morbidity and mortality in ambulatory patients with HFpEF. METHODS We examined 231 patients with a clinical diagnosis of HFpEF seen at two dedicated academic HFpEF programs (Weill Cornell Medicine and Michigan Medicine) from June 2018 to April 2022. Malnutrition was defined by Mini-Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF) scores ≤11. The primary endpoint was a 6-month composite of all-cause mortality and all-cause hospitalization. A Cox proportional-hazard models was used to examine the association between malnutrition and the primary endpoint, adjusting for race, prior hospitalization history, and the validated Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic (MAGGIC) heart failure prognostic risk score. RESULTS The median age of the cohort was 73 years (interquartile range 64-81). The most common comorbid conditions included hypertension (prevalence 81%), atrial fibrillation (43%), and obesity (63%). The prevalence of malnutrition was 42% (n = 97), and MNA-SF scores did not significantly correlate with body mass index (R = -0.02, p = 0.71). At the 6-month follow-up, 62 patients (26.8%) were hospitalized and four patients died (1.7%). In a fully-adjusted analysis, malnutrition was independently associated with the composite outcome of all-cause mortality and all-cause hospitalization (HR 1.94 [95% CI: 1.17-3.20], p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Despite a high prevalence of obesity, two out of five ambulatory adults with HFpEF are malnourished. Malnutrition was independently associated with adverse outcomes at 6 months. Future work is necessary to develop interventions that can address malnutrition.

Abstract
Aims Anemia is common in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and is associated with exercise intolerance. However, there are limited data on how anemia contributes to reduced exercise capacity in patients with HFpEF. We aimed to characterize exercise capacity, cardiovascular and ventilatory reserve, and the oxygen (O2) pathway in anemic patients with HFpEF. Methods A total of 238 patients with HFpEF and 248 dyspneic patients without HF underwent ergometry exercise stress echocardiography with simultaneous expired gas analysis. Patients with HFpEF were classified into two groups based on the presence of anemia (hemoglobin < 13.0 g/dL in men and < 12.0 g/dL in women). Results Anemic HFpEF patients (n = 112) had worse nutritional status and renal function, lower iron levels, and greater left ventricular (LV) remodeling and plasma volume expansion than those without anemia (n = 126). Exercise capacity, assessed by peak oxygen consumption, exercise intensity, and exercise duration, was lower in the anemic HFpEF group than in the other groups. Despite a similar cardiac output during exercise, anemic patients with HFpEF demonstrated limitations in arterial O2 delivery, lower arteriovenous O2 content difference, and ventilatory inefficiency (higher minute ventilation vs. carbon dioxide production slope) during peak exercise. Conclusion Anemic HFpEF patients demonstrated unique pathophysiological features with greater LV remodeling and plasma volume expansion, limitations in arterial O2 delivery and peripheral O2 extraction, and ventilatory inefficiency, which may contribute to reduced exercise capacity. Further studies are needed to develop an optimal approach for treating anemia in patients with HFpEF.

Abstract
AIMS Heart failure (HF) is a common complication and the leading cause of mortality in maintenance haemodialysis (MHD) patients. Few studies have investigated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which is known to affect a majority of patients. The objective of this study is to explore the prevalence, clinical profiles, diagnosis, risk factors and prognosis of MHD patients with HFpEF. METHODS AND RESULTS Four hundred thirty-nine patients haemodialyzsed for over 3 months were enrolled in the study and evaluated for HF according to the European Society of Cardiology guidelines. Clinical and laboratory parameters were recorded at baseline. The median follow-up of the study was 22.5 months. A total of 111 (25.3%) MHD patients were diagnosed with HF, while 94 (84.7%) of the HF patients were classified into HFpEF. The cut-off value of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was 4922.5 pg/mL for predicting HFpEF (sensitivity 0.840, specificity 0.723, AUC 0.866) in MHD patients. Age, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease and serum phosphorus were independent risk factors for the incidence of HFpEF in MHD patients while normal urine volume, haemoglobin, serum iron and serum sodium were protective factors. MHD patients with HFpEF had a higher risk of all-cause mortality than those without HF (hazard ratio 2.47, 95% confidence interval 1.55-3.91, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The majority of MHD patients with HF were categorized into HFpEF, with a poor long-term survival rate. NT-proBNP beyond 4922.5 pg/mL performed well in the prediction of HFpEF in MHD patients.

Abstract
Background: Pancreatoduodenectomy is a standard surgical procedure for periampullary tumors. With recent improvements in perioperative management, postoperative mortality has decreased significantly in recent years; however, postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is still one of the most prevalent and dangerous complications. The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of malnutrition and the value of predicting POPF in patients with laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the perioperative data of 747 patients undergoing LPD in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, The First Hospital of Jilin University, China. Simultaneously, we analyzed the prevalence rate of malnutrition with three different nutritional assessment scores and explored the independent risk variables for POPF to identify potential predictive value. Results: Malnutrition was observed in 20.1% of patients with the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), 85.0% of patients with the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, and 73.1% of patients with the NRI score. Univariate and multivariate analyses all showed that the risk factors for POPF were pancreatic texture, pancreatic duct diameter, abdominal infection, body mass index (BMI), nomogram-revised risk index (NRI), and PNI. The receiver operating characteristic curve indicated that the BMI/PNI ratio was capable of predicting the occurrence of clinical POPF following LPD, with an area under the curve of 0.708. Conclusions: Compared with no malnourished patients, malnutrition is associated with a higher risk of POPF among patients with LPD. In addition, the BMI/PNI ratio has some predictive value in the development of POPF following LPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is frequently observed in patients with heart failure, and malnutrition causes poor prognosis in these patients. Various calculation tools are used to assess malnutrition, with the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) being one that is frequently used. In our study, we aimed to investigate the value of GNRI in assessing one-year mortality and rehospitalization in patients with heart failure. METHOD A total of 196 patients aged 60 years and older were included in this retrospective study. A GNRI ≤ 98 was defined as malnutrition. Patients were divided into two groups: GNRI ≤ 98 (malnutrition) and GNRI > 98 (non-malnutrition). Rehospitalization due to heart failure and mortality were compared between both groups in the one-year follow-up. RESULTS The duration of hospitalization was significantly lower in the malnourished group compared to the non-malnutrition group (11.5 ± 7.5 days vs. 20.9 ± 16.3 days). All-cause mortality was significantly higher in the malnutrition group (30.8% vs. 18.1, p = 0.045). Risk factors were evaluated to predict all-cause death by Cox regression analysis, and GNRI (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.968; 95%CI: 0.942-0.995; p = 0.018) was associated with all-cause mortality. CONCLUSIONS GNRI, which is used as an indicator of malnutrition, is associated with all-cause mortality at one-year follow-up. Higher mortality was observed in the group with low GNRI, but it was observed that this group was hospitalized for less time due to heart failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Visceral fat produces inflammatory cytokines and may play a major role in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, little data exist regarding how qualitative and quantitative abnormalities of visceral fat would contribute to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD). METHODS We studied 77 participants who underwent open abdominal surgery for intra-abdominal tumors (LVDD, n = 44; controls without LVDD, n = 33). Visceral fat samples were obtained during the surgery, and mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines were measured. Visceral and subcutaneous fat areas were measured using abdominal computed tomography. RESULTS Patients with significant LVDD had greater LV remodeling and worse LVDD than controls. While body weight, body mass index, and subcutaneous fat area were similar in patients with LVDD and controls, the visceral fat area was larger in patients with LVDD than in controls. The visceral fat area was correlated with BNP levels, LV mass index, mitral e' velocity, and E/e' ratio. There were no significant differences in the mRNA expressions of visceral adipose tissue cytokines (IL-2, -6, -8, and -1β, TNFα, CRP, TGFβ, IFNγ, leptin, and adiponectin) between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Our data may suggest the pathophysiological contribution of visceral adiposity to LVDD.

Prognostic Value of Nutritional Assessments on Overall Survival in Head and Neck Cancer Survivors with Radiation-Induced Brain Necrosis. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15081973. [PMID: 37111191 PMCID: PMC10141744 DOI: 10.3390/nu15081973] [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: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
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
OBJECTIVE We explored the prognostic significance of controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in older adults with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and compared CONUT with other objective nutritional indices. METHODS This is a single-center retrospective cohort study in older adult coronary artery disease patients undergoing HFpEF. Clinical data and laboratory results were collected before discharge. CONUT, geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) were calculated according to the formula. The primary endpoint of this study was readmission due to heart failure and all-cause mortality in the first year after hospitalization. RESULTS A total of 371 older adults were enrolled. All patients were discharged and followed up for 1 year, and readmission for heart failure was 26% while all-cause mortality was 20%. Compared with the none and mild malnutrition risk group, the readmission rate for heart failure (HF) within 1 year (36% vs. 18%, 23%) and all-cause mortality rate in the moderate and severe malnutrition risk group (40% vs. 8%, 0%) were higher (P < 0.05). On multivariate logistic analysis, CONUT was not associated with readmission due to HF within 1 year. CONUT was significantly associated with all-cause mortality independently of GNRI or PNI, after adjustment for major confounders including age, bedridden; length of stay; history of chronic kidney disease; loop diuretics use; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker and beta-adrenergic blocking agents use; New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class; hemoglobin; potassium; Creatinine; triglycerides; glycosylated hemoglobin; brain natriuretic peptide; left ventricular ejection fraction; GNRI and PNI via multivariable Cox analysis (HR (95% CI) 1.764 (1.503, 2.071); 1.646 (1.359, 1.992); 1.764 (1.503, 2.071), respectively). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the risk of all-cause mortality significantly increased in accordance with a higher CONUT (CONUT 5-12 compare to 0-1:HR (95% CI) 6.16 (3.78, 10.06); CONUT 2-4 compare to 0-1:HR (95% CI) 0.16 (0.10, 0.26)). CONUT showed the best area under the curve value (0.789) for the prediction of all-cause mortality compared with the other objective nutritional indices. CONCLUSION CONUT is a simple and strong prognostic indicator for the prediction of all-cause mortality in older adults with HFpEF. CLINICAL TRIALS GOV IDENTIFIER NCT05586828.

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.

Abstract
Background The burden of noncardiovascular conditions is becoming increasingly prevalent in patients with heart failure (HF). We aimed to identify novel phenogroups incorporating noncardiovascular conditions to facilitate understanding and risk stratification in elderly patients with HF. Methods and Results Data from a total of 1881 (61.2%) patients aged ≥65 years were extracted from a prospective multicenter registry of patients hospitalized for acute HF (N=3072). We constructed subgroups of patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF; N=826, 43.9%) and those with non-HFpEF (N=1055, 56.1%). Latent class analysis was performed in each subgroup using 17 variables focused on noncardiovascular conditions (including comorbidities, Clinical Frailty Scale, and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index). The latent class analysis revealed 3 distinct clinical phenogroups in both HFpEF and non-HFpEF subgroups: (1) robust physical and nutritional status (Group 1: HFpEF, 41.2%; non-HFpEF, 46.0%); (2) multimorbid patients with renal impairment (Group 2: HFpEF, 40.8%; non-HFpEF, 41.9%); and (3) malnourished patients (Group 3: HFpEF, 18.0%; non-HFpEF, 12.1%). After multivariable adjustment, compared with Group 1, patients in Groups 2 and 3 had a higher risk for all-cause death over the 1-year postdischarge period (hazard ratio [HR], 2.79 [95% CI, 1.64-4.81] and HR, 2.73 [95% CI, 1.39-5.35] in HFpEF; HR, 1.96 [95% CI, 1.22-3.14] and HR, 2.97 [95% CI, 1.64-5.38] in non-HFpEF; respectively). Conclusions In elderly patients with HF, the phenomapping focused on incorporating noncardiovascular conditions identified 3 phenogroups, each representing distinct clinical outcomes, and the discrimination pattern was similar for both patients with HFpEF and non-HFpEF. This classification provides novel risk stratification and may aid in clinical decision making.

Abstract
Background and objective Nutritional status assessment in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients has been neglected for a long time. The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a sensitive indicator for assessing the nutritional status of the elderly. This study aims to explore the association between GNRI and all-cause mortality in the oldest-old patients with ACS. Methods The patients who met the inclusion criteria were consecutively enrolled from January 2006 to December 2012. Clinical data were collected on admission, and all subjects were followed after being discharged. The nutritional status was evaluated using GNRI. The relationship between GNRI and all-cause mortality was assessed by using different analyses. Results A total of 662 patients with a mean age of 81.87 ± 2.14 years old were included in our study, and followed (median: 63 months, IQR 51-71). Patients whose GNRI ≤ 98 were reported as at risk of malnutrition (31.11%, n = 206). In multivariable analysis, we found that for each SD increase in GNRI, the risk of all-cause mortality lowered by 23%, and the HR for GNRI ≤ 98 was 1.39 (95% CI 1.04-1.86). After stratifying patients into three groups by tertiles of GNRI, we found that the HRs for tertile 2 and tertile 3 were 1.49 (95% CI 1.02-2.19) and 1.74 (95% CI 1.22-2.50), respectively. The trend test revealed a dose-response relationship between GNRI and all-cause mortality in the oldest-old with ACS. Lastly, in subgroup analyses, we found a reliable association between GNRI and all-cause mortality. Conclusion Malnutrition is common in the oldest-old patients with ACS, and GNRI could predict their long-term all-cause mortality in a dose-dependent manner. GNRI may be a prospective index for risk-stratification and secondary-prevention in the oldest-old patients with ACS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Data regarding the relationship between malnutrition and clinical outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is limited. The study aims to evaluate the clinical impact of malnutrition in AMI patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS The COREA-AMI registries identified 10,161 AMI patients who underwent PCI from January 2004 to August 2014. Patients with geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) scores of <82, 82 to <92, 92 to <98, and ≥98 were categorized as having severe, moderate, mild malnutrition risk, and absence of risk, respectively. Associations of GNRI with Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) 3 or 5 bleeding, all-cause death, and major cardiovascular events (MACEs; a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or ischemic stroke) were evaluated. Over 50% of AMI patients were malnourished, with 25.0%, 22.7%, and 4.9% having mild, moderate, and severe malnutrition risks, respectively. Over a median 4.9-year follow-up, patients with malnutrition risk had higher risks of BARC 3 or 5 bleeding (adjusted hazard ratios [aHRs], 1.27, 1.55, and 2.02 for mild, moderate, and severe, respectively; p < 0.001), all-cause death (aHRs, 1.26, 1.46, and 1.85 for mild, moderate, and severe, respectively; p < 0.001), and MACEs (aHRs, 1.14, 1.32, and 1.67 for mild, moderate, and severe, respectively; p < 0.001) than patients without risk. CONCLUSION Elevated malnutrition risk was common among AMI patients undergoing PCI and was strongly associated with a higher risk of major bleeding, all-cause death, and major ischemic events.

Malnutrition in real-world patients hospitalized for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and its potential impact on generalizability of EMPEROR-Preserved trial. Int J Cardiol 2023; 370:263-270. [PMID: 36257476 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2022.10.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the benefits of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) empagliflozin, its suitability for patients with heart failure (HF) in the real-world setting remains unclear. Considering the unique pharmacological profile of SGLT2i (e.g., glucose excretion leading to calorie loss) and increasingly aging patients with HF, applicability of trials' finding in patients with malnutrition is important. METHODS We examined 1633 consecutive patients with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF; >40%) enrolled in a multicenter-based acute HF registry. After applying the EMPEROR-Preserved eligibility criteria, we compared the baseline characteristics of trial-eligible and actual trial participants, and patients with and without malnutrition among the trial-eligible group. Malnutrition was assessed by the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI). The trial-eligible patients were divided into high (GNRI≥92) and low (GNRI<92) nutritional groups, and a composite endpoint comprising all-cause death and HF rehospitalization was evaluated. RESULTS Majority (70.2%) of the analyzed patients were eligible for the EMPEROR-Preserved trial (age: 77 ± 12 years and body mass index [BMI]: 22.0 ± 4.1 kg/m2), but were older and had lower BMIs than the actual trial participants. Notably, 51.9% of the eligible patients were at high risk for malnutrition and had a higher rate of the composite endpoint than non-malnourished counterparts (HR 1.27, 95%CI 1.04-1.56, P = 0.020). The difference in outcomes was predominantly due to mortality from non-cardiac causes. CONCLUSIONS Mostly patients with HF in a real-world setting met the EMPEROR-Preserved criteria; however, approximately half were at high risk for malnutrition with poorer outcomes owing to non-cardiac-related causes.

Abstract
Background Despite the obesity paradox, visceral adiposity is associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, it remains unclear whether a relationship between visceral fat and clinical outcomes exists in Asian patients with HFpEF, in whom obesity is rare. Methods Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue (VAT and SAT) volume and area were measured using computed tomography (CT) in 196 HFpEF patients. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality or HF hospitalization. Results Participants had a normal body mass index (BMI) (22.5 ± 4.4 kg/m2), and obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m2) was rare (4.6 %). The primary outcome was observed in 64 patients during a median follow-up of 11.6 months. Lower VAT and SAT volumes were associated with underweight and malnutrition. Composite outcomes increased as body weight, BMI, and height-indexed SAT volume and area decreased. Lower height-indexed VAT volume and area were also associated with the outcomes. The height-indexed SAT area provided independent and incremental prognostic value over age, BMI, blood pressure, and creatinine and albumin levels. Conclusions In lean East Asian patients with HFpEF, a lower VAT volume was associated with poorer clinical outcomes. CT-based assessments of adiposity may provide incremental prognostic value over simple anthropometric indices in lean HFpEF patients.

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
AIMS The long-term outcome in patients with heart failure (HF) after hospitalization may vary substantially depending on their age and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). We aimed to assess the relative rates of cardiovascular death (CVD) and non-CVD based on the age and how the rates differ under the updated LVEF classification system. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutively registered hospitalized patients with HF (N = 3558; 39.7% women with a mean age of 73.9 ± 13.3 years) were followed for a median of 2 (interquartile range, 0.8-3.1) years. The CVDs and non-CVDs were evaluated based on age [young (<65 years), older (65-84 years), and very old (≥85 years)] and LVEF classification [HF with preserved EF (HFpEF; LVEF ≥50%) and non-HFpEF (LVEF <50%)]. The adverse clinical events were adjudicated independently by a central committee. Overall, 1505 (42.3%) had HFpEF [young: n = 182 (12.1%), older: n = 894 (59.4%), very old: n = 429 (28.5%)], and 2053 (57.7%) had non-HFpEF [young: n = 575 (28.0%), older: n = 1159 (56.5%), very old: n = 319 (15.5%)]. During the follow-up, the crude incidence of all-cause death was higher in non-HFpEF than in HFpEF across all age groups (non-HFpEF vs. HFpEF, young: 10.4% vs. 5.5%, log-rank P = 0.10; older: 26.6% vs. 20.9%, log-rank P = 0.002; very old: 36.7% vs. 31.7%, log-rank P = 0.043). CVDs accounted for more than half of all deaths in non-HFpEF (young 65.0%, older 64.2%, and very old 55.6%), whereas the proportion of CVDs remained less than half in HFpEF (young 50.0%, older 41.2%, very old 38.2%). HF readmission was associated with subsequent all-cause death in non-HFpEF [hazard ratio (HR): 1.72, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.41-2.09, P < 0.001], but not in HFpEF (HR: 1.12, 95% CI: 0.87-1.43, P = 0.39). CONCLUSIONS The probability of a non-CVD increases in both LVEF categories with advancing age, but that it is greater in the HFpEF category. The findings indicate that mitigating CV-related outcomes alone may be insufficient for treating HF in older population, particularly in the HFpEF category.

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
Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) suffer from a high rate of cardiometabolic comorbidities with limited pharmaceutical therapies proven to improve clinical outcomes and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Nonpharmacologic therapies, such as exercise training and dietary interventions, are promising strategies for this population. The aim of this narrative review is to present a summary of the literature published to date and future directions related to the efficacy of nonpharmacologic, lifestyle-related therapies in HFpEF, with a focus on exercise training and dietary interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS COUNT score, PNI score, and GNRI scores are associated with cardiovascular events. This review identifies the most accurate malnutrition assessment tools based on these scores in predicting mortality and readmission outcomes in HF patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS PubMed via MEDLINE, EMBASE were searched to identify studies assessing malnutrition using CONUT, PNI and GNRI. A meta-analysis was carried out to pool the hazard ratios on mortality and readmission rates. The methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS The mortality in HF patients with malnutrition assessed by CONUT showed pooled HR of 1.23. HF patients with all severe, moderate, and mild risk of malnutrition showed mortality with HR 3.56, 2.71 and 1.57 respectively. For malnutrition assessed with GNRI, HF patients with all severe, moderate, and mild risk of malnutrition showed mortality with HR 4.17, 2.73 and 1.73 respectively. No significance difference in association of CONUT score with pooled HR of readmission rate was observed HR 0.99. With PNI, HF patients with all severe and moderate risk of malnutrition showed mortality with HR 2.14 and HR 1.68 respectively, although they failed to achieve significance. CONCLUSION CONUT and GNRI are the superior prognostic indicator than PNI in prediction of mortality associated with risk of malnutrition.

Abstract
The impact of changes in nutritional status during hospitalization on prognosis in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains unknown. We examined the association between changes in the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and prognosis during hospitalization in patients with HFpEF stratified by nutritional status on admission. Nutritional status did and did not worsen in 348 and 349 of 697 patients with high GNRI on admission, and in 142 and 143 of 285 patients with low GNRI on admission, respectively. Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed no difference in risk of the composite endpoint, all-cause death, or heart failure admission between patients with high GNRI on admission whose nutritional status did and did not worsen. In contrast, patients with low GNRI on admission whose nutritional status did not worsen had a significantly lower risk of the composite endpoint and all-cause death than those who did. Multivariable analysis revealed that worsening nutritional status was independently associated with a higher risk of the composite endpoint and all-cause mortality in patients with low GNRI on admission. Changes in nutritional status during hospitalization were thus associated with prognosis in patients with malnutrition on admission, but not in patients without malnutrition among those with HFpEF.

Abstract
Background The usefulness of preprocedural nutritional status to stratify prognosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation has been evaluated; however, the studies conducted so far have been relatively small and/or focused on a single nutritional index. This study sought to assess the prevalence and prognostic impact of malnutrition in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Methods and Results We applied the Controlling Nutritional Status score, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, and Prognostic Nutritional Index to 1040 consecutive older Japanese patients at high surgical risk who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation. According to the Controlling Nutritional Status score, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, and Prognostic Nutritional Index, 16.6%, 60.5%, and 13.8% patients had moderate or severe malnutrition, respectively; 89.3% were at least mildly malnourished by at least 1 score. Worse nutritional status was associated with older age, lower body mass index, higher degree of frailty, worse symptoms and renal function, atrial fibrillation, and anemia. During a median follow-up of 986 days (interquartile range, 556-1402 days), 273 (26.3%) patients died. Compared with normal nutrition, malnutrition was associated with an increased risk for all-cause death (adjusted hazard ratio for moderate and severe malnutrition, respectively: 2.19 (95% CI, 1.45-3.31; P<0.001) and 6.13 (95% CI, 2.75-13.70; P<0.001) for the Controlling Nutritional Status score, 2.02 (95% CI, 1.36-3.02; P=0.001) and 3.24 (95% CI, 1.86-5.65; P<0.001) for the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, and 1.60 (95% CI, 1.06-2.39; P=0.024) and 2.32 (95% CI, 1.50-3.60; P<0.001) for the Prognostic Nutritional Index). Conclusions Malnutrition is common in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation and is associated with increased mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has been widely reported to be safe and feasible, and has a powerful effect on improving metabolism and weight loss in patients with a high body mass index (BMI). A few studies have focused on the comparison of RYGB with medical treatment in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with a lower BMI. OBJECTIVES To compare the metabolic effects and safety of RYGB versus medical treatment during a 2 years follow-up in T2D patients with a BMI of 25 to 32.5 kg/m2. METHODS This retrospective and multicenter cohort study participants were extracted from the T2D patients with a lower BMI (25-32.5 kg/m2) from three bariatric centers between 2009 and 2018. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to minimize bias, and each patient in the surgical group was matched 1:2 to the patients in the medical group with the closest propensity score. Finally, 71 patients who received RYGB and 142 patients who underwent medical treatment with a 2 years follow-up were enrolled to compare the effects of RYGB and medical treatment. The primary endpoint was achievement of the triple endpoint (the simultaneous achievement of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) < 7.0%, fasting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) < 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L), and systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 130 mmHg at the year-1 visit). Changes in weight, BMI, medication usage, complications, and adverse events were assessed. RESULTS In total, 213 patients (mean age of 47.4 ± 9.5 years, 70.4% male, mean BMI of 28.6 ± 2.2 kg/m2) were included in this study. At the end of the first year, 17 patients (23.9%) in the surgical group and 10 (7.0%) in the medical group had achieved the composite triple endpoint (OR 4.64; 95% CI 1.82-11.81; p = 0.001). Additionally, 43 patients (60.6%) in the surgical group and 11 patients (19.7%) in the medical group experienced remission of T2D. However, more complications were observed in the surgical group (36 vs. 22, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Among T2D patients with a BMI between 25.0 and 32.5 kg/m2, RYGB was more effective than medical treatment in resolving metabolic disorders and also resulted in more complications. The risk for complications should be considered in the clinical decision-making process for T2D patients with a low BMI.

Abstract
The incidence and impact of malnutrition on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, clinical relevance, and prognostic outcomes of malnutrition in patients with ACS treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. This retrospective study included 1930 consecutive patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and assessed their nutritional status using 3 scoring systems: Controlling Nutritional Status score, nutritional risk index (NRI), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. The Controlling Nutritional Status, NRI, and PNI scores showed that 5.2%, 17.5%, and 3.9% of patients were moderately or severely malnourished, respectively. During a median follow-up of 67.2 months (interquartile range: 46.8-88.5 months), 74 (3.8%) patients died. Malnutrition was associated with a significantly increased risk for all-cause mortality compared with good nutrition (adjusted hazard ratios for moderate and severe malnutrition, respectively: 5.65 [95% confidence interval: 3.27-9.78] and 15.26 [7.50-31.05] for the NRI score, 5.53 [2.10-14.49] and 11.08 [5.69-21.59] for the PNI; P < .001). The current findings demonstrated that malnutrition is prevalent among patients with ACS and is closely associated with increased mortality. Further study is needed to evaluate the effects of nutritional interventions on the outcomes of patients with ACS.

Abstract
Undernutrition is very common among patients with heart failure (HF). This study evaluated the prognostic values of three nutritional risk/screening indices among patients with acute HF. We retrospectively calculated scores for 465 patients with acute HF using the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) tool, the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and the Mini-Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF). The outcomes of interest were the 1-year rate of cardiac events (cardiac-related death or HF-related readmission) and the Barthel index as an index of physical function during hospitalization. The CONUT, GNRI, and MNA-SF scores were significantly correlated, although the proportions of a normal nutritional state varied (CONUT: 18.3%, GNRI: 32.9%, and MNA-SF: 43.9%). Kaplan-Meier estimates revealed that cardiac events were more common among patients with undernutrition based on the CONUT score, and multivariable regression analysis revealed that only the CONUT score independently predicted poor outcomes. Furthermore, changes in the Barthel index during hospitalization were significantly correlated with the CONUT score but not with the GNRI and MNA-SF scores. In receiver operating characteristic analyses, the CONUT score had the most powerful predictive values on both the postdischarge incidence of cardiac events and the decline of physical function during hospitalization compared with the GNRI and the MNA-SF. These results indicate that the CONUT score might provide useful information for predicting poor outcomes in patients with acute HF.

Abstract
Despite advances in medicine, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains an increasing health concern associated with a high mortality rate. Research has shown sex-based differences in the clinical characteristics of patients with HF; however, definitive biomarkers for poor clinical outcomes of HFpEF in women are unavailable. We focused on the albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR), a biomarker for malnutrition and inflammation and investigated its usefulness as a predictor of clinical outcomes of HFpEF in women. We measured the AGR in consecutive 224 women with HFpEF and 249 men with HFpEF. There were 69 cardiac events in women with HFpEF and 69 cardiac events in men with HFpEF during the follow-up period. The AGR decreased with advancing New York Heart Association functional class in women with HFpEF. Patients were categorized into three groups based on AGR tertiles. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that among the three groups, the risk for cardiac events and HF-associated rehospitalizations was the highest in the lowest tertile in women with HFpEF. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses showed that after adjustment for confounding risk factors, the AGR was an independent predictor of cardiac events and HF-associated rehospitalizations in women with HFpEF, but not in men with HFpEF. The addition of AGR to the risk factors significantly improved the net reclassification and integrated discrimination indices in women with HFpEF. This is the first study that highlights the significant association between the AGR and the severity and clinical outcomes of HFpEF in women. Addition of AGR to the risk factors improved its prognostic value for clinical outcomes, which indicates that this variable may serve as a useful clinical biomarker for HFpEF in women.

In patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), malnutrition can be associated with intestinal congestion and systemic inflammation. These relationships have not been fully investigated in HF with mildly reduced EF (HFmrEF) and with preserved EF (HFpEF). We analyzed 420 patients with HF who underwent right heart catheterization. The relationships between hemodynamic parameters, C-reactive protein, and the controlling nutritional (CONUT) score were investigated in HFrEF, HFmrEF and HFpEF. The CONUT score of all patients was 2 [1, 4] (median [interquartile range]), and was not significantly different between the left ventricular EF (LVEF) categories (2 [1, 3] for HFrEF, 2 [1, 3] for HFmrEF, and 3 [1, 4] for HFpEF, p = 0.279). In multivariate linear regression analyses, there was a significant association between CRP and the CONUT score in HFmrEF and HFpEF, while brain natriuretic peptide and right atrial pressure were significantly associated with the CONUT score in HFrEF. Higher CONUT scores predicted a higher incidence of the composite endpoint of death or HF hospitalization within 12 months without an interaction with LVEF (p = 0.980). The CONUT score was an independent predictor of the composite endpoint, death, and HF hospitalization after adjustment for confounders in the multivariate analysis. In conclusion, inflammation was associated with malnutrition in HFmrEF and HFpEF, while congestion was an independent predictor of malnutrition in HFrEF. Malnutrition predicted worse outcomes regardless of LVEF.

Abstract
Although it is known that assessment and management of the nutritional status of patients are important for treatment of patients with heart failure (HF), there are currently no established indicators. Therefore, we investigated the effects of nutritional parameters as well as conventional parameters on the prognosis of HF patients. A total of 1954 consecutive HF patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 50% were enrolled in this study. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed and conventional parameters for HF patients and parameters to assess nutritional status were measured in all patients. Patients were followed up with a primary endpoint of lethal cardiac events (CEs) for 30.2 months. During the follow-up period, cardiac events were documented in 619 HF patients. The CEs group had a lower level of cholinesterase (201.5U/L vs 265.2U/L, P <0.0001), lower estimated GFR (35.2 ml/min/1.73m2 vs 50.3ml/min/1.73m2, P< 0.0001), and lower Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) (91.9 vs 100.0, P< 0.0001) than those in the non-CEs group. Serum cholinesterase, estimated GFR, and GNRI were identified as significant prognostic determinants in multivariate analysis. ROC analyses revealed cut-off values of serum cholinesterase, estimated GFR, and GNRI of 229U/L, 34.2 ml/min/1.73m2, and 95.6, respectively, for identifying high-risk HF patients. HF patients with serum cholinesterase< 229U/L, estimated GFR<34.3 ml/min/1.73m2, and GNRI< 95.6 had a significantly greater rate of CEs than that in the other patients (P<0.0001). Low serum cholinesterase and low GNRI can predict cardiac mortality risk in systolic HF patients with renal dysfunction.

Potential association with malnutrition and allocation of combination medical therapies in hospitalized heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction. Sci Rep 2022; 12:8318.

Abstract
Malnutrition is common in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and may influence the long-term prognosis and allocation of combination medical therapy. We reviewed 1231 consecutive patient-level records from a multicenter Japanese registry of hospitalized HFrEF patients. Nutritional status was assessed using geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI). Combination medical therapy were categorized based on the use of beta-blockers, renin-angiotensin system inhibitors, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. The composite outcome of all-cause death and HF rehospitalization was assessed. The mean age was 72.0 ± 14.2 years and 42.6% patients were malnourished (GNRI < 92). At discharge, 43.6% and 33.4% of patients were receiving two and three agents, respectively. Malnourished patients had lower rates of combination medical therapy use. The standardized GNRI score was independently associated with the occurrence of adverse events (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.88, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.79-0.98). Regardless of the GNRI score, referenced to patients receiving single agent, risk of adverse events were lower with those receiving three (HR: 0.70, 95% CI 0.55-0.91) or two agents (HR: 0.70, 95% CI 0.56-0.89). Malnutrition assessed by GNRI score predicts long-term adverse outcomes among hospitalized HFrEF patients. However, its prognosis may be modified with combination medical therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) is highly prevalent, whereas malnutrition is generally associated with poorer hospital outcomes, and it is not uncommon in patients with HF. Prior studies of the effect of malnutrition on HF outcomes are limited in size and quality. This study aims to elucidate the association between malnutrition and hospital length of stay (LOS), mortality, and discharge destination in patients with HF. METHODS This is a retrospective review of medical records for inpatients admitted with a primary diagnosis of HF in 2018. Patients with HF and severe protein-calorie malnutrition were compared with those without malnutrition. A two-sided t-test was conducted between patients who have HF with and without malnutrition on hospital outcomes. Multivariate logistic regression was developed to identify potential predictors of malnutrition. A propensity score was calculated for each patient and matched cases (malnutrition with nonmalnutrition) to balance covariates and reduce bias. RESULTS For N = 7079, the median age was 75 years, with 15.79% having severe malnutrition. Overall mortality was 5.57% (394 deceased) . There were significant associations between malnutrition and both mortality (relative risk, 2.22; P < 0.001) and LOS (10 vs 5 days, P < 0.001) in patients with HF. Significantly fewer patients with malnutrition were discharged home (odds ratio, 0.41; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Patients with HF and malnutrition have higher risk for mortality, increased LOS in the hospital, and decreased chance of being discharged home. Continued study of this population is required to better predict which patients with malnutrition will respond to nutrition interventions.

Abstract
Background: Malnutrition has been shown to be associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in many patient populations. Aims: To investigate the prognostic significance of malnutrition as defined by nutritional risk index (NRI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and whether NRI could improve the GRACE score based prognostic models. Methods: This study applied NRI among 1,718 patients with ACS undergoing PCI. Patients were divided into three nutritional risk groups according to their baseline NRI: no nutritional risk (NRI ≥ 100), mild nutritional risk (97.5 ≤ NRI <100), and moderate-to-severe nutritional risk (NRI <97.5). The primary endpoint was the composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including all-cause death, non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or unplanned repeat revascularization. Results: During a median follow-up of 927 days, 354 patients developed MACE. In the overall population, compared with normal nutritional status, malnutrition was associated with increased risk for MACE [adjusted HR for mild and moderate-to-severe nutritional risk, respectively: 1.368 (95%CI 1.004–1.871) and 1.473 (95%CI 1.064–2.041)], and NRI significantly improved the predictive ability of the GRACE score for MACE (cNRI: 0.070, P = 0.010; IDI: 0.005, P < 0.001). In the diabetes subgroup, malnutrition was associated with nearly 2-fold high adjusted risk of MACE, and the GRACE score combined with NRI appeared to have better predictive ability than that in the overall population. Conclusion: Malnutrition as defined by NRI was independently associated with MACE in ACS patients who underwent PCI, especially in individuals with diabetes, and improved the predictive ability of the GRACE score based prognostic models.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Malnutrition is associated with increased incidence of heart failure (HF). Left ventricular (LV) remodeling is one of the most important processes in the occurrence and evolution of HF. However, the association between nutritional status and LV remodeling is not well known. The study aimed to investigate the association between malnutrition and LV remodeling. DESIGN The study was a retrospective observation study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS We included patients from the registry of Cardiorenal Improvement study from January 2007 to December 2018 at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital. MEASUREMENTS The primary endpoint was LV remodeling, defined as an absolute decrease in LV ejection fraction ≥10% after discharge compared with baseline. Nutritional status was assessed by the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score. Eligible patients were divided into absent-mild malnutrition group (CONUT score ≤4) and moderate-severe malnutrition group (CONUT score >4). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression was performed to verify the association between malnutrition and left ventricular remodeling. RESULTS A total of 7,217 patients (mean age 61.3±10.5 years, 71.7% male) were included in the final analysis, among which 712 (9.9%) had LV remodeling. The incidence of LV remodeling in moderate-severe malnutrition group was significantly higher than that in absent-mild malnutrition group (12.9% vs. 9.5%, p=0.002). In multivariable logistic regression, moderate-severe malnutrition group was significantly associated with 1.69-fold increased risk of LV remodeling after adjusting confounders (OR: 1.69, CI: 1.32-2.16). Similar results were observed in subgroup stratified by age, gender, and coronary artery disease. CONCLUSION Nearly one eighth of patients were classified as moderate-severe malnutrition, 12% of whom had LV remodeling. Moderate-severe malnutrition was associated with 69% increased risk of LV remodeling. Further studies are needed to prospectively evaluate the nutrition-oriented managements on outcomes in LV remodeling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute and chronic stress after severe earthquakes can contribute to cardiovascular events, including heart failure (HF). On April 14, 2016, magnitude 7 earthquakes occurred in the Aso region in the western part of Japan. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of HF in this area after these earthquakes. METHODS We investigated the clinical characteristics and 1-y mortality rate of patients with HF. Nutritional status was evaluated with the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI). RESULTS Among a total of 58 cardiovascular events, HF was the most frequently observed (n = 28). The mean age of individuals with HF was 85.5 y. The total incidence of HF was significantly higher compared with the average of the prior 2 y. Disaster influence on mental health was suggested by patient history in 20 patients (71%). The 1-y mortality rate among patients with HF was 50%. Among those who died, 93% had malnutrition status (GNRI <92 and /or PNI ≤38). CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated the poor prognosis of patients with HF following the disaster. The prevalence of malnutrition was high in those patients. Careful follow-up is necessary, especially for older people with frailty.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Malnutrition has a high occurrence in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). The prevalence of malnutrition and its impact on all-cause mortality in patients with CHF were assessed using a meta-analysis. METHODS PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Medline, CBM, CNKI, WANFANG DATA, and VIP databases were searched to collect cross-sectional and cohort studies on malnutrition, and the prevalence and all-cause mortality of patients with CHF were determined. The time of retrieval was from the database establishment to May 2021. Two researchers independently performed screening of the literature, data extraction and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies. Then Stata 16.0 software was used for meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 10 cross-sectional and 21 cohort studies were included, including 12537 patients with CHF. A meta-analysis demonstrated that the total prevalence of malnutrition in patients with heart failure was 46% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.43, 0.49). Compared to patients with non-malnutrition, malnutrition increased the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with CHF (hazard ratio = 2.15, 95% CI [1.89, 2.45], P < 0.05). DISCUSSION Current evidence suggests that the prevalence of malnutrition is high among patients with CHF. The risk of all-cause mortality in such patients can be increased by malnutrition. Therefore, the risk of malnutrition in patients with CHF should be considered to reduce the occurrence of adverse clinical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Protein-energy wasting is prevalent among patients undergoing dialysis. Hence, identifying an optimal index is necessary for the comprehensive measurement of nutritional status. This study evaluated and compared the prognostic significance of the modified creatinine index (mCI) and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), with the principal aim to identify markers that are more closely associated with clinical events in patients undergoing hemodialysis. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of 472 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (mean age, 66.4 years; 62.9% males). We evaluated the mCI, GNRI, and their respective rates of change over a 1-year period. The outcome analysis included all-cause death, number and duration of all-cause hospitalizations, and number and duration of hospitalizations due to cardiovascular disease. In addition, we analyzed the associations of the mCI, GNRI, and their trajectories with clinical outcomes using Cox proportional hazard regression and negative binomial regression. RESULTS Over a median 3.6-year follow-up, both the lower mCI (hazard ratio 3.00; 95% confidence interval 2.19, 4.09) and lower GNRI (hazard ratio 1.76; 95% confidence interval 1.45, 2.13) per 1 standard deviation decrease were associated with a higher risk of all-cause death. However, a lower mCI was consistently associated with a higher risk of hospitalization, whereas the GNRI was poorly associated with the risk of hospitalization after adjusting for covariates. Furthermore, although a decline in the mCI over time was associated with a higher risk of each adverse event, a significant association between the change in GNRI and clinical events was not detected. CONCLUSION The mCI at one timepoint and its trajectory had consistently stronger associations with clinical events than the GNRI in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study further emphasizes the importance of risk screening using a marker of nutritional status in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract
Several studies have shown that nutritional indexes are associated with cardiovascular events; however, limited studies have investigated the prognostic value of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We aimed to evaluate the clinical impact of GNRI in patients undergoing TAVI. This single-center retrospective study analyzed consecutive patients treated with TAVI, stratified into groups according to their median baseline GNRI. The primary endpoint was 2-year all-cause mortality. In total, 968 patients with a mean age of 82.1 years and a median Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) score of 4.8% who underwent TAVI were included. The median GNRI was 103. Compared with the high-GNRI group (GNRI≥103, n = 451), the low-GNRI group (GNRI<103, n = 517) had higher STS scores and renal insufficiency rates. The 2-year all-cause mortality was significantly higher in the low-GNRI group than in the high-GNRI group (24.9% vs. 9.3%, p<0.001), despite no significant differences in procedural and clinical outcomes between the groups. On multivariable analysis, lower GNRI was independently associated with higher 2-year all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.07; 95% confidence interval: 1.05-1.10; p<0.001). The GNRI retained its predictive value in subgroup analyses stratified by age (>75 vs. ≤75 years) and STS score (≥4 vs. <4). In conclusion, The GNRI is an important surrogate marker for predicting prognosis and mortality in patients undergoing TAVI.
