Sex differences in the nutritional status and its association with long-term prognosis in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: a prospective cohort study. Eur J Cardiovasc Nurs 2024; 23:458-469. [PMID: 38170824 DOI: 10.1093/eurjcn/zvad105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Revised: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
AIMS Many studies show the association between malnutrition and poor prognosis in heart failure (HF) patients. Our research aimed to analyse sex differences in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), emphasizing nutritional status and the influence of selected parameters on the prognosis. METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 276 consecutive patients diagnosed with HFrEF. Nutritional status was assessed using Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), and body mass index (BMI). The mean follow-up period was 564.4 ± 346.3 days. The analysed group included 81.2% of men. The median age was 58, interquartile range (IQR) 49-64 years. Among all patients, almost 60% were classified as NYHA III or IV. Half of the participants were at risk of malnutrition, and 2.9% were malnourished. During follow-up, 72 (26.1%) patients died. The female sex was not associated with a higher occurrence of malnutrition (P = 0.99) or nutritional risk (P = 0.85), according to MNA. Coherently, GNRI scores did not differ significantly between the sexes (P = 0.29). In contrast, BMI was significantly higher in males (29.4 ± 5.3 vs. 25.9 ± 4.7; P < 0.001). Impaired nutritional status assessed with any method (MNA, GNRI, BMI) was not significantly associated with a worse prognosis. In multivariable analysis, NYHA class, lower estimated glomerular filtration rate, higher B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), higher N-terminal fragment of proBNP, and higher uric acid were independent of sex and age predictors of all-cause mortality. CONCLUSION There were no sex differences in the nutritional status in the HFrEF patients, apart from lower BMI in females. Impaired nutritional status was not associated with mortality in both men and women.

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.

Abstract
To examine the relationship between gut microbiota and disease development in chronic heart failure patients with different nutritional risk. The study analyzed stool samples from 62 CHF patients and 21 healthy peoples using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. CHF patients were separated into risk (n = 30) and non-risk group (n = 32) based on NRS2002 scores. Analysis methods used were LEfSe, random forest regression model, ROC curves, BugBase, PICRUSt2, metagenomeSeq. Risk group includes 11 cases of HFrEF, 6 cases of HFpEF, and 13 cases of HFmrEF. LefSe analysis confirmed that the risk group had higher levels of Enterobacter and Escherichia-Shigella. Correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between prealbumin and Escherichia-Shigella. The presence of Enterobacter and Escherichia-Shigella worsens intestinal inflammation in CHF patients, impacting lysine metabolism by influencing its degradation metabolic function. This interference further disrupts albumin and prealbumin synthesis, leading to malnutrition in CHF patients and ultimately worsening the disease.

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 & AIMS Patients undergoing dialysis are less likely to develop immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Malnutrition is common in the dialysis population. However, whether malnutrition contributes to the impaired immunogenicity remains unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the association between nutritional status and SARS-CoV-2 vaccine response in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis. METHODS A total of 206 hemodialysis patients (mean age, 67 ± 13 years) without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection were examined for the primary outcome of seroconversion, defined as the detection of IgG antibodies (≥50 AU/mL) to the receptor-binding domain of the S1 spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 one month after a priming dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, an adenovirus-vectored vaccine. Nutritional status was assessed by using the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, an objective indicator of nutrition incorporating serum albumin, total cholesterol, and total lymphocyte count, as well as the subjective global assessment (SGA). RESULTS Overall, 16.5% of patients were classified as malnourished, and 64.1% of patients were at risk for malnutrition based on the CONUT score. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG were the highest in patients with normal nutrition. In multivariate logistic regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, comorbidities, and use of immunosuppressants, patients with malnutrition remained less likely to develop an antibody response than those with normal nutrition (odds ratio 0.23, 95% CI, 0.07-0.76). SGA was a significant predictor of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG seroconversion in univariate but not multivariate analyses. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition according to CONUT score is associated with impaired humoral responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Our results highlight the importance of incorporating nutritional assessment into routine dialysis care to identify patients at risk for suboptimal immune responses after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Further research is needed to determine whether nutritional intervention can improve immune responses in these vulnerable patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Malnutrition is common among heart failure (HF) patients. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and controlling nutritional status (CONUT) are widely used for evaluation of nutritional status in HF patients. Right ventricular dysfunction, functional tricuspid regurgitation, and elevated right atrial pressure might exacerbate malnutrition by promoting bowel congestion and malabsorption in HF patients. We aimed to investigate the relationship between echocardiographic measures of right heart function and nutritional status in patients hospitalised for acutely decompensated HF, and to define a simple nutritional heart failure index based on non-invasively measured right heart functions to predict nutritional status. METHODS 133 consecutive patients who were admitted to inpatient cardiology clinics for acutely decompensated HF were included in the study. All patients underwent a comprehensive echocardiographic examination on admission day. PNI and CONUT scores were calculated in order to assess the nutritional status. RESULTS We defined a novel nutritional heart failure index (HFI-N) based on the echocardiographic measurements of inferior vena cava diameter (IVC), IVC collapsibility and right atrial pressure to predict the nutritional status of the patients. The HFI-N index was a significant predictor for both PNI and CONUT scores. In addition, both PNI and CONUT scores were significantly correlated to length of hospital stay. CONCLUSION Malnutrition was associated with a prolonged hospital stay in HF patients. The newly defined HFI-N index is a good predictor of the nutritional status in patients with heart failure.

Abstract
Malnutrition in heart failure (HF) is frequent and associated with a worse prognosis. Due to differences in investment and the profile of those assisted, the objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of malnutrition in hospitalized patients with HF and its association with clinical outcomes in the public and private health systems. Methodology: A cross-sectional study, with 247 volunteers hospitalized with HF in three public hospitals and one private hospital in Aracaju, SE, Brazil. A subjective global nutritional assessment (SGA) and mini nutritional assessment (MNA) were performed. Results: Sample with 72.5% users of the public health system and 75.3% with malnutrition (public = 74.9%; private = 76.5%; p = 0.793). Regardless of the healthcare system, hospital stay (>14 days) was longer (p = 0.020) among those with malnutrition (48.4%) than well-nourished patients (29.5%). Malnutrition in the public system had higher mortality (7.5%; 5.8%; p < 0.001) and hospital transfer rate (21.1%; 0.0%; p < 0.001) than those in the private system. Death after discharge was observed only in the public system (p = 0.039). Conclusion: Malnutrition was frequent in both systems and was associated with longer hospital stays and, in the public hospital, in-hospital death and transfers.

Abstract
Background and aims Malnutrition is very common in patients with heart failure (HF) and is associated with a worse clinical outcome. The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score is an easily derived index for the evaluation of malnutrition. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the CONUT score and the prognosis in patients with HF. Methods and results Electronic databases were searched for potential studies from inception up to February 15, 2022. Observational cohort studies included adult participants with HF, and reported the associations between the CONUT score and the adjusted relative risk (RR) of all-cause mortality, and patients with composite major adverse cardiac outcomes (MACEs) were included. We finally included 18 studies comprising 12,532 participants with HF for analysis. The median age of the patients was 70.5 years old, and 35.4% were women. After a median follow-up duration of 32.5 months, patients with HF with a higher CONUT score were associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality (per 1 increment of the CONUT score: RR, 1.21, 95% CI, 1.13–1.29, I2 = 68%, P for heterogeneity = 0.002) and MACEs (per 1 increment of the CONUT score: RR, 1.14, 95% CI, 1.06–1.23, I2 = 81%, P for heterogeneity <0.0001) after adjusting for other prognostic factors. When the CONUT score was divided into the normal nutritional status and malnourished status, malnourished patients with HF were associated with increased risks of all-cause death (RR, 1.61, 95% CI, 1.40–1.85, I2 = 17%, P for heterogeneity = 0.29) and MACEs (RR, 2.12, 95% CI, 1.49–3.02, I2 = 87%, P for heterogeneity <0.0001), compared with those with normal nutritional status. Conclusions The CONUT score is associated with the clinical outcomes in patients with HF, and can be used as a screening tool of nutritional status in HF to improve prognosis.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a systemic inflammatory disease that causes hypotrophy and skeletal muscle loss. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria have been developed as a novel evaluation index for malnutrition, with reported usefulness in HF caused by ischemic heart disease. However, reports on the usefulness of malnutrition evaluated by the GLIM criteria in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) and its relationship with psoas muscle volume are lacking. We investigated the prognostic value of malnutrition evaluated using the GLIM criteria and its association with psoas muscle volume in patients with NIDCM. We enrolled 139 consecutive patients with NIDCM between December 2000 and June 2020. Malnutrition was evaluated using the GLIM criteria on admission. The median follow-up period was 4.7 years. Cardiac events were defined as a composite of cardiac death, hospitalization for worsening HF, and lethal arrhythmia. Furthermore, we measured the psoas muscle volume using computed tomography volumetry in 48 patients. At baseline, the median age was 50 years, and 132 patients (95.0%) had New York Heart Association functional class I or II HF. The median psoas muscle volume was 460.8 cm3. A total of 26 patients (18.7%) were malnourished according to the GLIM criteria. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that malnourished patients had more cardiac events than non-malnourished patients (log-rank, P < 0.001). The multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that GLIM criteria-based malnutrition was an independent determinant of cardiac events (hazard ratio, 2.065; 95% confidence interval, 1.166-3.656; P = 0.014). Psoas muscle volume, which was assessed in a total of 48 patients, was lower in malnourished than in non-malnourished patients (median, 369.0 vs. 502.3 cm3; P = 0.035) and correlated with body mass index (r = 0.441; P = 0.002). Nutritional screening using the GLIM criteria may be useful in predicting future cardiac events in patients with NIDCM, reflecting a potential relationship between malnutrition and a low psoas muscle volume.

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.

Relationship of Immunonutritional factor with Changes in Liver Volume after Portal Vein Embolization. Surg Open Sci 2022; 9:117-124. [PMID: 35755162 PMCID: PMC9218550 DOI: 10.1016/j.sopen.2022.05.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background To identify predictors of changes in hepatic volumes after portal vein embolization, we examined the relationship with preoperative nutritional and immunological parameters. Patients and Methods Ninety-three patients who underwent portal vein embolization were included. The control group comprised 13 patients who underwent right hepatectomy without portal vein embolization. Computed tomographic volumetric parameter was measured for changes in embolized and nonembolized liver. Correlation with various candidates of immunonutritional parameters was examined. Results Difference in increased liver ratio was 9.1%. C-reactive protein levels significantly increased after portal vein embolization (P < .01), whereas albumin and total cholesterol levels significantly decreased, respectively (P < .01). The C-reactive protein/albumin ratio, prognostic nutritional index, Controlling Nutritional Status score, and modified Glasgow Prognostic Score were significantly different, respectively (P < .01). Prothrombin activity and total cholesterol level significantly correlated with the increased change in nonembolized liver (P < .05). The C-reactive protein and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio after portal vein embolization negatively correlated with hypertrophic ratio (P < .05). By comparing posthepatectomy outcomes between 64 patients undergoing portal vein embolization and 13 who did not, the prevalence of severe complications and mortality in the portal vein embolization group was not different from that in the non–portal vein embolization group. Liver activity at 15 minutes > 0.92 and increased liver volume ≥ 10% tended to correlate with lower prevalence of severe complications. Only increased intraoperative blood loss ≥ 1,500 mL was significantly associated with morbidity and mortality (P < .05). Conclusion Contrary to our hypothesis, immunonutritional parameters, except C-reactive protein and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio, did not reflect hypertrophy after portal vein embolization. Although it is difficult to predict the hypertrophic degree, the strategy of scheduled hepatectomy should be switched in case of impaired inflammatory status after portal vein embolization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic importance of nutritional indexes has been shown in some diseases. We aimed to examine the prognostic value of these indexes in patients implanted with the Carillon Mitral Contour System (CMCS). METHODS Fifty-four patients who underwent successful CMCS implantation were evaluated. Prognostic nutritional index (PNI), geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and controlling nutritional status (CONUT) scores were calculated. The relationships between these indexes and 1-year clinical outcomes including all-cause mortality and re-hospitalization due to heart failure were investigated. RESULTS In Kaplan-Meier analysis, 1-year all-cause mortality rates were significantly higher in the patients with low PNI and GNRI and high CONUT scores (52.0% vs. 0%, p < 0.001; 54.2% vs. 0%, p < 0.001; 52.4%, 6.1%, p < 0.001; respectively). For the composite endpoint, a significant difference was observed between those below and above the cut-off values (70.0% vs. 16.7%, p < 0.001; 75.0% vs. 23.3%, p < 0.001; 66.7% vs. 20.8%, p < 0.001, respectively). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, GNRI was determined to be an independent predictor of 1-year all-cause mortality [hazard ratio: 0.707; 95% confidence interval: 0.510-0.979; p = 0.037]. CONCLUSIONS Nutritional indexes have prognostic value in predicting 1-year all-cause mortality in severe functional mitral regurgitation patients undergoing CMCS implantation. In particular, GNRI can guide the selection of patients who will benefit from CMCS.

Abstract
Despite the high prevalence of nutrition disorders in patients with heart failure (HF), major HF guidelines lack specific nutrition recommendations. Because of the lack of standardized definitions and assessment tools to quantify nutritional status, nutrition disorders are often missed in patients with HF. Additionally, a wide range of dietary interventions and overall dietary patterns have been studied in this population. The resulting evidence of benefit is, however, conflicting, making it challenging to determine which strategies are the most beneficial. In this document, we review the available nutritional status assessment tools for patients with HF. In addition, we appraise the current evidence for dietary interventions in HF, including sodium restriction, obesity, malnutrition, dietary patterns, and specific macronutrient and micronutrient supplementation. Furthermore, we discuss the feasibility and challenges associated with the implementation of multimodal nutrition interventions and delineate potential solutions to facilitate addressing nutrition in patients with HF.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of malnutrition, defined by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, stratified by renal function in hospitalized patients with acute decompensated heart failure (HF). METHODS AND RESULTS In this retrospective study, 314 patients who were hospitalized for acute decompensated HF from August 2019 to October 2020 were enrolled. We evaluated malnutrition using the GLIM criteria during the time of admission. The primary outcome was 90-day all-cause mortality. The median patient age was 82 years, and 90-day mortality was 14.0%. In total, 76 (24.2%) patients were malnourished according to the GLIM criteria. Malnutrition defined by the GLIM criteria [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.41, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.91, P = 0.036] and renal insufficiency [adjusted HR 2.59, 95% CI 1.07-6.28, P = 0.035 for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 vs. ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 ] were identified as independent predictors of 90-day mortality after adjustment for age, systolic blood pressure, and serum sodium level. In the combined setting of both variables, patients with malnutrition and eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 had a markedly higher risk of 90-day mortality compared with those without malnutrition and eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (adjusted HR 3.92, 95% CI 1.10-13.9, P = 0.035). Adding both eGFR and malnutrition, defined by the GLIM criteria, to the baseline model with established risk factors improved both net reclassification and integrated discrimination greater than that of the baseline model (0.606, P < 0.001 and 0.050, P = 0.002, respectively), even when compared with the model with malnutrition by the GLIM alone (0.463, P = 0.002 and 0.034, P < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Nutrition screening using the GLIM criteria stratified by renal function could clearly predict 90-day mortality in hospitalized patients with acute decompensated HF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate the association between malnutrition assessed by the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score and all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. SETTINGS A comprehensively literature search of PubMed and Embase databases was performed until 30 November 2020. Studies reporting the utility of CONUT score in prediction of all-cause mortality among patients with heart failure were eligible. Patients with a CONUT score ≥2 are grouped as malnourished. Predictive values of the CONUT score were summarized by pooling the multivariable-adjusted risk ratios (RR) with 95 % CI for the malnourished v. normal nutritional status or per point CONUT score increase. PARTICIPANTS Ten studies involving 5196 patients with heart failure. RESULTS Malnourished patients with heart failure conferred a higher risk of all-cause mortality (RR 1·92; 95 % CI 1·58, 2·34) compared with the normal nutritional status. Subgroup analysis showed the malnourished patients with heart failure had an increased risk of in-hospital mortality (RR 1·78; 95 % CI 1·29, 2·46) and follow-up mortality (RR 2·01; 95 % CI 1·58, 2·57). Moreover, per point increase in CONUT score significantly increased 16% risk of all-cause mortality during the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition defined by the CONUT score is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure. Assessment of nutritional status using CONUT score would be helpful for improving risk stratification of heart failure.

Abstract
Malnutrition represents a common and important feature in elderly people affected by cardiovascular diseases. Several studies have investigated its prevalence and prognostic role in most clinical settings, including cardiovascular disease. However, in daily practice it usually remains unrecognized and consequently untreated. The present review was ideated to answer the main questions about nutritional status assessment in patients with cardiovascular disease: why, when, where, how to evaluate it, and what to do to improve it. The three main cardiovascular diseases, namely aortic stenosis, ischaemic heart disease, and heart failure were considered. First, the main evidence supporting the prognostic role of malnutrition are summarized and analyzed. Second, the main tools for the assessment of malnutrition in the hospital and outpatient setting are reported for each condition. Finally, the possible strategies and interventions to address malnutrition are discussed.

BACKGROUND Malnutrition is common in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and is associated with adverse outcomes, but it is uncertain how malnutrition should best be evaluated. OBJECTIVES This prospective cohort study aims to compare the short-term prognostic value of 9 commonly used malnutrition tools in patients with CHF. METHODS We assessed, simultaneously, 3 simple tools [Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, and Prognostic Nutritional Index], 3 multidimensional tools [Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool, Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF), Subjective Global Assessment], and 3 laboratory tests (serum cholesterol, albumin, and total lymphocyte count) in consecutive patients with CHF attending a routine follow-up. The primary end point was all-cause mortality; the secondary end point was the combination of all-cause hospitalization and all-cause mortality. RESULTS In total, 467 patients [67% male, median age 76 y (range: 21-98 y), median N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) 1156 ng/L] were enrolled. During a median follow-up of 554 d, 82 (18%) patients died and 201 (43%) patients either had a nonelective hospitalization or died. In models corrected for age, hemoglobin (Hb), renal function, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, NTproBNP, BMI, and comorbidities, all malnutrition tools, except total lymphocyte count and serum cholesterol, were independently associated with worse morbidity and mortality. A base model for predicting mortality, including age, NYHA class, log [NT-proBNP], Hb, renal function, and comorbidities, had a C-statistic of 0.757. CONUT (C-statistic = 0.777), among simple tools; MNA-SF (C-statistic = 0.776), among multidimensional tools; and albumin (C-statistic = 0.773), among biochemical tests, increased model performance most compared with the base model. Patients with serum albumin <30 g/L had a 6-fold increase in mortality compared with patients with albumin ≥35 g/L. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition is strongly associated with adverse outcomes in patients with CHF. Measuring serum albumin provides comparable prognostic information to simple or multidimensional malnutrition tools.

Prognostic value of Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form with aortic valve stenosis following transcatheter aortic valve implantation. ESC Heart Fail 2020; 7:4024-4031. [PMID: 32909396 PMCID: PMC7754760 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2020] [Revised: 08/25/2020] [Accepted: 08/27/2020] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Aims Older adults at risk for malnutrition are known to have a high mortality rate. This study aimed to investigate whether the Mini Nutritional Assessment—Short Form (MNA‐SF) could predict midterm mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods and results We applied the MNA‐SF in 288 patients who had undergone TAVI from January 2016 to June 2019 at the St. Marianna University School of Medicine hospital. Using the MNA‐SF cut‐off value to indicate the risk of malnutrition, patients were divided into two groups, namely, those with an MNA‐SF score ≤11 (impaired MNA‐SF group) and those with an MNA‐SF score ≥12 (maintained MNA‐SF group). We used this value to investigate the association between the MNA‐SF and all‐cause mortality. Overall, 188 (65%) and 100 (35%) patients comprised the impaired MNA‐SF and maintained MNA‐SF groups, respectively, and 41 patients died after TAVI (mean follow‐up duration, 458 ± 315 days). Kaplan–Meier analyses showed that patients in the impaired MNA‐SF group had a significantly higher incidence of all‐cause mortality (hazard ratio 2.67; 95% confidence interval 1.29–6.21; P = 0.01). Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that the MNA‐SF score was an independent predictor of all‐cause mortality after adjusting for the Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk score, Katz Index, and brain natriuretic peptide test results (hazard ratio 1.14; 95% confidence interval 1.01–1.28; P = 0.04). Conclusions The MNA‐SF was useful to screen for the risk of malnutrition in patients with TAVI and in predicting midterm prognoses in patients undergoing TAVI and could predict patient mortality after the procedure.
