Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and serum chloride level are related to adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure. However, little is known about the relationship between the PNI and serum chloride level in predicting the poor prognosis of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). METHODS AND RESULTS We reviewed 1221 consecutive patients with ADHF admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2017 to October 2021. After excluding patients with in hospital death, missing follow-up data, missing chloride data, missing lymphocyte (LYM) count data, or missing serum albumin data, 805 patients were included. PNI was calculated using the formula: serum albumin (ALB) (g/L) + 5 × LYM count (10^9/L). Patients were divided into 4 groups according to the quartiles of the PNI, and the highest PNI quartile (PNI Q4: PNI ≥ 47.3) was set as the reference group. The patients in the lowest PNI quartile (PNI Q1: PNI < 40.8) had the lowest cumulative survival rate, and mortality risk decreased progressively through the quartiles (log-rank χ2 142.283, P < 0.0001). Patients with ADHF were divided into 8 groups by quartiles of PNI and median levels of serum chloride. After adjustment, the hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause mortality in ADHF patients in Group 1 was 8.7 times higher than that in the reference Group 8. Furthermore, the addition of serum chloride level and PNI quartile to the Cox model increased the area under the Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve by 0.05, and the area under the ROC curve of the new model was higher than that of the original model with traditional risk factors. CONCLUSIONS Both the lowest PNI quartiles and low chloride level indicate a higher risk of all-cause death in patients with ADHF.

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.

Prognostic nutritional index as a predictive marker for acute kidney injury in adult critical illness population: a systematic review and diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis. J Intensive Care 2024; 12:16. [PMID: 38671543 PMCID: PMC11046764 DOI: 10.1186/s40560-024-00729-z] [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: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic nutritional index (PNI), integrating nutrition and inflammation markers, has been increasingly recognized as a prognostic predictor in diverse patient cohorts. Recently, its effectiveness as a predictive marker for acute kidney injury (AKI) in various clinical settings has gained attention. This study aims to assess the predictive accuracy of the PNI for AKI in critically ill populations through systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS A systematic review was conducted using the databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure up to August 2023. The included trials reported the PNI assessment in adult population with critical illness and its predictive capacity for AKI. Data on study characteristics, subgroup covariates, and diagnostic performance of PNI, including sensitivity, specificity, and event rates, were extracted. A diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis was performed. Subgroup analyses and meta-regression were utilized to investigate the sources of heterogeneity. The GRADE framework evaluated the confidence in the meta-analysis's evidence. RESULTS The analysis encompassed 16 studies with 17 separate cohorts, totaling 21,239 patients. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of PNI for AKI prediction were 0.67 (95% CI 0.58-0.74) and 0.74 (95% CI 0.67-0.80), respectively. The pooled positive likelihood ratio was 2.49 (95% CI 1.99-3.11; low certainty), and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.46 (95% CI 0.37-0.56; low certainty). The pooled diagnostic odds ratio was 5.54 (95% CI 3.80-8.07), with an area under curve of summary receiver operating characteristics of 0.76. Subgroup analysis showed that PNI's sensitivity was higher in medical populations than in surgical populations (0.72 vs. 0.55; p < 0.05) and in studies excluding patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) than in those including them (0.75 vs. 0.56; p < 0.01). Overall, diagnostic performance was superior in the non-chronic kidney disease group. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that PNI has practical accuracy for predicting the development of AKI in critically ill populations, with superior diagnostic performance observed in medical and non-CKD populations. However, the diagnostic efficacy of the PNI has significant heterogeneity with different cutoff value, indicating the need for further research.

The prognostic value of prognostic nutritional index in postoperative onset of PAH in children with isolated VSD: a prospective cohort study based on propensity score matching analysis. Front Pediatr 2024; 12:1292786. [PMID: 38699152 PMCID: PMC11064175 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2024.1292786] [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: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The mechanism of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) after surgery/intervention for isolated venticlular septal defect (VSD) in children is unknown. Reliable prognostic indicators for predicting postoperative PAH are urgently needed. Prognostic nutration index (PNI) is widely used to predict postoperative complications and survival in adults, but it is unclear whether it can be used as an indicator of prognosis in children. Methods A total of 251 children underwent VSD repair surgery or interventional closure in Hunan Children's Hospital from 2020 to 2023 were collected. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed using the nearest neighbor method with a caliper size of 0.2 Logistics regression analysis is used to examine factors associated with the development of PAH. Results The cut-off value for PNI was determined as 58.0. After 1:1 PSM analysis, 49 patients in the low PNI group were matched with high PNI group. Children in the low PNI group had higher risk of postoperative PAH (P = 0.002) than those in the high PNI group. Multivariate logistics regression analysis showed that PNI (RR: 0.903, 95% CI: 0.816-0.999, P = 0.049) and tricuspid regurgitation velocity (RR: 4.743, 95% CI: 1.131-19.897, P = 0.033) were independent prognostic factors for the development of PAH. Conclusion PNI can be used as a prognostic indicator for PAH development after surgery/intervention in children with isolated VSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study set out to develop an accurate and clinically valuable prognostic nomogram to assess the risk of in-hospital death in patients with acute decompensated chronic heart failure (ADCHF) and diabetes. METHODS We extracted clinical data of patients diagnosed with ADCHF and diabetes from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III database. Risk variables were selected utilizing least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis, and were included in multivariate logistic regression and presented in nomogram. bootstrap was used for internal validation. The discriminative power and predictive accuracy of the nomogram were estimated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Among 867 patients with ADCHF and diabetes, In-hospital death occurred in 81 (9.3%) patients. Age, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, red blood cell distribution width, shock, β-blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, assisted ventilation, and blood urea nitrogen were brought into the nomogram model. The calibration curves suggested that the nomogram was well calibrated. The AUC of the nomogram was 0.873 (95% CI: 0.834-0.911), which was higher that of the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II [0.761 (95% CI: 0.711-0.810)] and sequential organ failure assessment score [0.699 (95% CI: 0.642-0.756)], and Guidelines-Heart Failure score [0.782 (95% CI: 0.731-0.835)], indicating that the nomogram had better ability to predict in-hospital mortality. In addition, the internally validated C-index was 0.857 (95% CI: 0.825-0.891), which again verified the validity of this model. CONCLUSIONS This study constructed a simple and accurate nomogram for predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with ADCHF and diabetes, especially in those who admitted to the intensive care unit for more than 48 hours, which contributed clinicians to assess the risk and individualize the treatment of patients, thereby reducing in-hospital mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary collateral circulation (CCC) can effectively improve myocardial blood supply to the area of CTO (chronic total coronary occlusion) and can, thus, improve the prognosis of patients with stable coronary syndrome (SCS). The degree of inflammation and some inflammation markers were associated with the development of collaterals. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether prognostic nutritional index (PNI) has an association with the development of CCC in patients with SCS. METHODS A total of 400 SCS patients with the presence of CTO in at least one major epicardial coronary artery were included in this study. The patients were divided into two groups according to the Rentrop score. Scores of 0 to 1 were considered poor developed CCC, and scores of 2 to 3 were accepted as good developed CCC. Statistical significance was set as a p-value < 0.05 for all analyses. RESULTS The mean age of the study cohort was 63±10 years; 273 (68.3%) were males. The poor-developed CCC group had a significantly lower PNI level compared with the good-developed CCC group (38.29±5.58 vs 41.23±3.85, p< 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, the PNI (odds ratio 0.870; 95% confidence interval 0.822-0.922; p< 0.001) was an independent predictor of poorly developed CCC. CONCLUSION The PNI can be used as one of the independent predictors of CCC formation. It was positively associated with the development of coronary collaterals in SCS patients with CTO.

Abstract
AIMS The combination of haemoglobin, albumin, lymphocytes, and platelets (HALP) is a new metric used to assess patient prognosis in many diseases. This study aimed to assess the relationship between HALP and short- and long-term mortality in patients with heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS This retrospective cohort study included adult patients with heart failure who were hospitalized between 2019 and 2021. The primary outcomes were 1-month mortality and 1-year mortality. The multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between HALP and the risk of mortality. Stratified analyses were conducted based on New York Heart Association functional classification (NYHA) stage (II/III, IV) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF, <50%, ≥50%). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the ability of HALP, prognostic nutritional index (PNI), C-reactive protein (CRP), and the Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure (MAGGIC-HF) risk score in predicting mortality in patients with heart failure. A total of 730 patients with heart failure were included, of whom 61 (8.36%) died within 1 month and 77 (10.55%) died within 1 year. High HALP scores were associated with a reduced risk of 1-month mortality (odds ratio (OR) = 0.978, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.963-0.992, P = 0.003) and 1-year mortality (OR = 0.987, 95% CI: 0.977-0.997, P = 0.009) in patients with heart failure. In patients with different NYHA stages or LVEF levels, high HALP scores were correlated with a reduced risk of 1-year mortality in patients with NYHA stage II/III (OR = 0.978, 95% CI: 0.957-1.000, P = 0.045) or LVEF ≥50% (OR = 0.970, 95% CI: 0.945-0.996, P = 0.024). The AUC for HALP, PNI, CRP, and MAGGIC-HF to predict 1-year mortality in patients with heart failure were 0.677 (95% CI: 0.619-0.735), 0.666 (95% CI: 0.608-0.723), 0.638 (95% CI: 0.572-0.704), and 0.654 (95% CI: 0.591-0.717), respectively. CONCLUSIONS HALP may be a potential marker for predicting mortality in patients with heart failure. Further exploration based on HALP may yield better clinical predictors of prognosis in patients with heart failure.

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

BACKGROUND Malnutrition is severely associated with worst prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF). Malnourished patients with the metabolic syndrome (MS) can result in a double burden of malnutrition. We aimed to investigate the impact of the MS on clinical outcomes in malnourished HF patients. METHODS We examined 529 HF patients at risk of malnutrition with a mean age of (66 ± 10) years and 78% (415) were male. Nutritional status defined primarily by the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), with PNI < 40 being defined as malnutrition. The follow-up endpoint was cardiovascular death or all-cause death. RESULTS During the 36-month follow-up, survival rates for cardiovascular and all-cause death were significantly lower in the MS group than in the non-MS group (log-rank P < 0.01). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models showed that MS was independently associated with cardiovascular death (HR:1.759, 95%CI:1.351-2.291, p < 0.001) and all-cause death (HR:1.326, 95%CI:1.041-1.689, p = 0.022) in malnourished patients with HF. MS significantly increased the predictive value of cardiovascular death (AUC:0.669, 95%CI:0.623-0.715, p < 0.001) and all-cause death (AUC:0.636, 95%CI:0.585-0.687, p < 0.001) on the basis of established risk factors. The predictive effect of MS on cardiovascular death was independent of sex, age, functional class and left ventricular ejection fraction. CONCLUSIONS In malnourished patients with HF, MS is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. MS significantly enhance the predictive value for clinical events in patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inflammatory and immunological factors play pivotal roles in the prognosis of acute type A aortic dissection. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic values of immune-inflammatory parameters in acute type A aortic dissection patients after surgery. METHODS A total of 127 acute type A aortic dissection patients were included. Perioperative clinical data were collected through the hospital's information system. The outcomes studied were delayed extubation, reintubation, and 30-day mortality. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic analysis were used to screen the risk factors of poor prognosis. RESULTS Of all participants, 94 were male, and mean age was 51.95±11.89 years. The postoperative prognostic nutritional indexes were lower in delayed extubation patients, reintubation patients, and patients who died within 30 days. After multivariate regression analysis, the postoperative prognostic nutritional index was a protective parameter of poor prognosis. The odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of postoperative prognostic nutritional index were 0.898 (0.815, 0.989) for delayed extubation and 0.792 (0.696, 0.901) for 30-day mortality. Low postoperative fibrinogen could also well predict poor clinical outcomes. The odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of postoperative fibrinogen were 0.487 (0.291, 0.813) for delayed extubation, 0.292 (0.124, 0.687) for reintubation, and 0.249 (0.093, 0.669) for 30-day mortality. CONCLUSION Postoperative prognostic nutritional index and postoperative fibrinogen could be two promising markers to identify poor prognosis of acute type A aortic dissection patients after surgery.

Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and advanced liver fibrosis in US adults: Evidence from NHANES 2017-2020. Heliyon 2024; 10:e25660. [PMID: 38390093 PMCID: PMC10881309 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e25660] [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: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective This study explored the potential association between the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) and the incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and advanced liver fibrosis (AF) in the adult population of the United States. Methods Information on 6409 participants ≥18 years old was downloaded from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2017 to 2020. Multivariate analysis was combined with demographic factors to assess the relationships between PNI, NAFLD, and AF. A restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to characterise the nonlinear association between the PNI and NAFLD and AF. Results Patients without NAFLD had substantially lower mean values for parameters such as age, lymphocyte count, neutrophil count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), total cholesterol, triglycerides, HbA1c, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) than patients with NAFLD. Interestingly, non-NAFLD patients showed a pronounced increase in serum albumin levels compared to their NAFLD counterparts. In the subset without AF, there were discernibly lower measures of NLR, age, AST, ALT, γ-glutamyl transferase, triglycerides, neutrophil count, and body mass index (BMI) than in patients with AF. It was evident that those without AF had markedly elevated mean albumin and PNI levels in comparison to AF-affected individuals. In the comprehensive multivariable framework, a direct correlation was observed between PNI and NAFLD (adjusted odds ratio[aOR] = 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05-1.09; p < 0.001), whereas PNI and AF were inversely correlated (aOR = 0.92; 95% CI: 0.88-0.96; p < 0.001). Within the RCS model, a swift ascendancy was noted in the relationship between the PNI and NAFLD, peaking at approximately 52. Conversely, a non-linear inverse association was observed between PNI and AF. Conclusion Our analytical results indicate that elevated PNI levels are positively associated with an increased risk of NAFLD, but inversely related to the risk of AF. For robust validation of these observations, further research is required.

Role of the Systemic Inflammatory Response Index in Predicting Disease Severity and Prognosis in Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. J Inflamm Res 2024; 17:447-460. [PMID: 38282710 PMCID: PMC10812137 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s434720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Mounting evidence indicates a possible connection between the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and the prognosis of heart failure, but its role in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between SIRI and variables such as functional ability, echocardiography results, hemodynamic measurements, and long-term outcomes in patients with IPAH. Methods The study included 426 consecutive IPAH patients who underwent right heart catheterization at Fuwai Hospital from January 2013 to December 2020. SIRI was calculated using composite inflammation indicators from routine blood tests. The main outcome measure was clinical deterioration. Spearman correlation coefficients were used to assess associations between SIRI and indicators of IPAH severity. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to determine the optimal SIRI threshold and predictive ability. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the relationship between SIRI and clinical deterioration. Results SIRI showed positive associations with indicators such as N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, right ventricular end-diastolic diameter, pericardial effusion, mean pulmonary arterial pressure, and pulmonary vascular resistance. Conversely, SIRI had inverse relationships with 6-minute walking distance and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter. Kaplan-Meier curves revealed a significantly higher rate of clinical deterioration in individuals with SIRI > 0.741 compared to those with SIRI ≤ 0.741 (P < 0.001). Adjusted Cox analysis showed SIRI remained an independent predictor of clinical worsening (hazard ratio 1.366, 95% confidence interval 1.073-1.738, P = 0.011). ROC analysis demonstrated SIRI provided additional predictive value beyond the risk assessment score of the European Society of Cardiology/European Respiratory Society. Discussion In summary, SIRI could predict the severity and prognosis of IPAH independently. It was associated with various indicators of IPAH severity and was a significant predictor of clinical deterioration. SIRI also offered additional predictive value beyond existing risk assessment scores.

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.

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
OBJECTIVES The prognostic nutritional index is widely used for surgery prognosis, but the association between preoperative prognostic nutritional index and short-term prognosis for coronary artery bypass grafting surgery and the profiles of perioperative prognostic nutritional index remain unclear. METHODS This study retrospectively enrolled a total of 879 adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery in the Shanghai Chest Hospital from 2006 to 2022. The prognostic nutritional index was calculated based on serum albumin and peripheral lymphocyte count. In-hospital mortality, demographic characteristics, blood biochemistry parameters, cardiovascular medical history, and physical examination results were collected from the hospital information system. The propensity score matching method and multivariate logistic regression were used to detect the association between preoperative prognostic nutritional index and in-hospital mortality. RESULTS Patients were divided into a high-prognostic nutritional index group (n = 500) and a low-prognostic nutritional index group (n = 379), using a cutoff value of 48.1 according to receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The propensity score matching-adjusted mean prognostic nutritional index levels decreased from 48.35 before the operation to 34.04 an in ≤24 h after the operation and rebounded to 43.36 before discharge. High preoperative prognostic nutritional index was inversely associated with in-hospital mortality for coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (odds ratio = 0.86; 95% CI, 0.77-0.97) in propensity score matching-adjusted multivariate logistic regression. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative prognostic nutritional index is an independent indicator for in-hospital mortality of for coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, and the variation trend of prognostic nutritional index during perioperation tends to be U-shaped.

Abstract
Background: Malnutrition is closely associated with heart failure, and known to be closely associated with mortality and morbidity in these patients. Aims: We investigated the relationship of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), which is a criterion of nutritional status in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), with prognosis and parameters indicating inflammation. Methods: 139 patients admitted to the coronary intensive care unit with symptoms of decompensated congestive heart failure were included to the study. Patients were with heart failure with ejection fraction <%40 and decompensated for any reason. Patients who died within 1 year in hospital or follow-up were considered to have reached the endpoint. Groups were divided into 2 groups as Group 1, the exitus; (23 patients, 7 M, mean age; 69.2 ± 15.0 years) and group 2, the non-exitus; (116 patients, 57 M, mean age; 69.3 ± 11.5 years). PNI was calculated with the formula ALB(g/L) + 5 × Total lymphocyte count(109/L). Results: PNI was significantly lower in group 1. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio and systemic inflamatory index values were significantly higher in group 1. PNI was significantly associated with these parameters. Conclusion: Low PNI scores in HFrEF patients may be associated with a worse prognosis and hematological parameters indicating more negative inflammation. PNI was found to be an independent predictor of mortality.

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
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between mortality and the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in the pediatric patient group with ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) infection. A total of 63 pediatric patients with a VPS infection and positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture were retrospectively registered. The CSF specimens were analyzed to conduct culture and microscopic evaluation. A total of 44.4% of the cases were men and 55.6% of the cases were women. Patients were divided into 2 groups (survivor and non-survivor patients). When survivor and non-survivor patients were compared, it was found that CSF leukocytes, CSF glucose, CSF protein, CSF/blood glucose ratio, lymphocyte, albumin, and PNI levels were lower in the non-survivor patients' group. Nevertheless, blood glucose and CRP (C-reactive protein) were significantly higher in the non-survivor patients' group than in the survivor patients' group. In our investigation, we suggested that low PNI was related to high mortality in cases of VPS infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) has been proposed as a useful prognostic tool in multiple populations. However, its prognostic value has not been fully evaluated in the hip fracture population. We aimed to assess the relationship between PNI and postoperative complications as well as 2-year all-cause mortality in the hip fracture population. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included patients aged 45 or older who underwent surgery for hip fracture between 2000 and 2022. The baseline serum albumin and total lymphocyte count were used to calculate PNI with the following formula: 10×serum albumin level (g/dl)+0.005×total lymphocyte count (per mm 3 ). Patients were classified into low, medium, and high categories based on tertiles of PNI (≤43.23, 43.23-47.35, and >47.35, respectively). Logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) for postoperative compilations and the hazard ratio (HR) for mortality, adjusting for potential confounders. RESULTS Of 3351 hip patients, 236 (7.04%) developed postoperative complications, and 305 (9.10%) died during the 2-year follow-up. Compared to the low-category patients, the medium-category and high-category patients showed lower odds of postoperative complications (ORs 0.69, 95% CI 0.48-0.98; and 0.61, 95% CI 0.40-0.93, respectively), and lower hazards of 2-year mortality (HRs 0.66, 95% CI 0.49-0.88; and 0.61, 95% CI 0.42-0.88, respectively). These associations were robust across a series of analyses, including subgroup analyses and dose-response sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION PNI is an independent predictor of postoperative complications and 2-year all-cause mortality in hip fracture patients. PNI can be used to identify patients who may be at high risk of a poor prognosis.

Prognostic value of the prognostic nutritional index for patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with variable glucose metabolism statuses: a retrospective cohort study. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2023; 15:207. [PMID: 37875955 PMCID: PMC10594916 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01160-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and different glucose metabolisms have been separately reported to be correlated with long-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, PNI application in patients with an impaired glucose metabolism has not been well validated, especially in pre-diabetic patients. This study evaluated whether PNI influences a long-term risk of mortality along different glucose metabolism statuses. METHODS A total of 17,697 patients with AMI and a history of PCI were enrolled in this retrospective observational cohort study from January 2007 to December 2020. Three subgroups with different glucose metabolism statuses, including normal glucose regulation (NGR), pre-diabetes mellitus (pre-DM), and diabetes mellitus (DM), were divided into three groups according to the tertiles of PNI, respectively. RESULTS All-cause mortality occurred in 2613 (14.8%) patients within a median of 4.1 years of follow-up. Upon analyzing the Kaplan-Meier plots for the NGR, pre-DM, and DM groups, the incidence of all-cause or cardiovascular mortality in the low PNI (PNI-L, ≤ 42.7) subgroup was significantly higher than that in the median PNI (PNI-M, > 42.7 and ≤ 48.2) and high PNI (PNI-H, > 48.2) subgroups (all, P < 0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, the hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause mortality in the PNI-L group significantly increased compared to that in the PNI-H subgroups of the NGR group (HR, 1.35; 95% CI 1.14-1.66; P < 0.001), pre-DM group (HR, 1.29; 95% CI 1.02-1.62; P < 0.001), and DM group (HR, 1.36; 95% CI 1.13-1.63; P < 0.001). Given that there was evidence of interactions between PNI and different glucose statuses (P for interaction < 0.001), patients were divided into nine subgroups, and we found that DM patients with PNI-L statuses had the highest risk of all-cause mortality compared to NGR patients with PNI-H statuses (HR, 1.69; 95% CI 1.42-2.01; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Lower PNI is a significant and independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in AMI patients undergoing PCI with different glucose metabolism statuses, and this risk further increases with DM compared to NGR or pre-DM statuses.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The frequency and details of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) complications in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remain unclear. This study aimed to clarify characteristics of NAFLD in patients with IBD. METHODS We retrospectively identified and enrolled patients with IBD diagnosed with or without NAFLD by undergoing abdominal computed tomography (CT) at our institution between 2005 and 2020. The primary endpoint was the complication rate of NAFLD in patients with IBD. Secondary endpoints were the clinical characteristics of nonobese patients with IBD and comorbid NAFLD and their association with nutritional and inflammatory parameters. RESULTS Twenty-one (21.9%) of 96 eligible patients with IBD also had NAFLD. In nonobese patients (defined as patients with a body mass index <25 kg/m2), C-reactive protein (CRP; P<0.001) and alanine aminotransferase (P=0.018) levels were higher and the albumin level (P=0.005) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI; P=0.002) values were lower in patients with NAFLD than in those without NAFLD. The PNI value was positively correlated (P<0.001) and the CRP level was negatively correlated (P=0.001) with the hepatosplenic ratio. However, in the NAFLD combined group, PNI (P<0.05) and CRP values (P<0.001) were improved over time after CT imaging by continuing IBD treatment. CONCLUSIONS Worsening nutritional and inflammatory status in IBD patients is associated with complications of NAFLD. Diagnosis of NAFLD in IBD patients using CT imaging might be useful not only for early detection of NAFLD but also in assessing the need for therapeutic intervention for IBD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is little bulk clinical evidence on nutritional status and mortality in patients with diabetes. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in adults with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This study included 5916 adult patients with diabetes from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2018. Cox proportional risk models were used to estimate risk ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. RESULTS During a mean follow-up of 8.17 years, there were 1248 deaths from all causes and 370 deaths from CVD. After multivariate adjustment, the risk of all-cause mortality was reduced by 24%, 38%, and 28% in Q2 (49.0-52.99), Q3 (53.0-57.99), and Q4 (≥58.0), respectively, compared with Q1 (PNI<49.0). The risk of cardiovascular mortality was reduced by 30%, 27%, and 26%, respectively. Consistent results were observed in the subgroup analysis. CONCLUSIONS Lower serum PNI levels were significantly associated with higher all-cause and CVD mortality. These findings suggest that maintaining an appropriate range of serum PNI status may reduce the risk of death in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Dietary triggers are frequently linked to migraines. Although some evidence suggests that dietary interventions might offer a new avenue for migraine treatment, the connection between migraine and nutrition remains unclear. In this study, we explored the association between nutritional status and migraines. Clinical data spanning 11 years were sourced from the Smart Clinical Data Warehouse. The nutritional statuses of 6603 migraine patients and 90,509 controls were evaluated using the Controlling Nutrition Status (CONUT) score and the Prognostic Nutrition Index (PNI). The results showed that individuals with mild, moderate, and severe malnutrition were at a substantially higher risk of migraines than those with optimal nutrition, as determined by the CONUT score (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.72, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.63-1.82; aOR: 5.09, 95% CI: 4.44-5.84; aOR: 3.24, 95% CI: 2.29-4.59, p < 0.001). Similarly, moderate (PNI: 35-38) and severe (PNI < 35) malnutrition were associated with heightened migraine prevalence (aOR: 4.80, 95% CI: 3.85-5.99; aOR: 3.92, 95% CI: 3.14-4.89, p < 0.001) compared to those with a healthy nutritional status. These findings indicate that both the CONUT and PNI may be used as predictors of migraine risk and underscore the potential of nutrition-oriented approaches in migraine treatment.

Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2023; 16:2503-2514. [PMID: 37614379 PMCID: PMC10443633 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s420924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose There is a lack of research on nutritional status and poor prognosis in patients with metabolic syndrome and heart failure. This study evaluated the relationship between nutritional status as defined by the PNI and adverse outcomes in patients with metabolic syndrome and heart failure. Methods A total of 1048 heart failure patients with metabolic syndrome admitted to the Heart Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2015 to December 2019 were consecutively. PNI was used to assess their nutritional status. Results A total of 51.0% of the patients were in the nonmalnutrition group (PNI≥45), 27.9% were in the mild malnutrition group (40≤PNI<45), and 21.1% of patients were in the malnutrition group (PNI<40). At 36 months of follow-up, after adjusting for other confounding factors, malnutrition (PNI<40) was independently associated with all-cause death (HR: 1.787, 95% CI: 1.451-2.201, P<0.001) and cardiovascular death (HR: 1.837, 95% CI: 1.467-2.301, P<0.001). PNI showed additional prognostic predictive value when included in the established risk factor model, both for all-cause death (AUC: 0.620, 95% CI: 0.579-0.661, P<0.001) and cardiovascular death (AUC: 0.596, 95% CI: 0.555-0.636, P<0.001). Conclusion In patients with metabolic syndrome and heart failure, malnutrition assessed by PNI is an independent predictor for all-cause death and cardiovascular death, and PNI is negatively correlated with the occurrence of adverse outcomes.

Abstract
Objectives Inflammation is involved in the mechanisms of non-ischemic heart failure (NIHF). We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of 21 inflammatory biomarkers and construct a biomarker risk score to improve risk prediction for patients with NIHF. Methods Patients diagnosed with NIHF without infection during hospitalization were included. The primary outcome was defined as all-cause mortality and heart transplantations. We used elastic net Cox regression with cross-validation to select inflammatory biomarkers and construct the best biomarker risk score model. Discrimination, calibration, and reclassification were evaluated to assess the predictive value of the biomarker risk score. Results Of 1,250 patients included (median age, 53 years, 31.9% women), 436 patients (34.9%) experienced the primary outcome during a median of 2.8 years of follow-up. The final biomarker risk score included high-sensitivity C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) and red blood cell distribution width-standard deviation (RDW-SD), both of which were 100% selected in 1,000 times cross-validation folds. Incorporating the biomarker risk score into the best basic model improved the discrimination (ΔC-index = 0.012, 95% CI 0.003-0.018) and reclassification (IDI, 2.3%, 95% CI 0.7%-4.9%; NRI, 17.3% 95% CI 6.4%-32.3%) in risk identification. In the cross-validation sets, the mean time-dependent AUC ranged from 0.670 to 0.724 for the biomarker risk score and 0.705 to 0.804 for the basic model with a biomarker risk score, from 1 to 8 years. In multivariable Cox regression, the biomarker risk score was independently associated with the outcome in patients with NIHF (HR 1.76, 95% CI 1.49-2.08, p < 0.001, per 1 score increase). Conclusions An inflammatory biomarker-derived risk score significantly improved prognosis prediction and risk stratification, providing potential individualized therapeutic targets for NIHF patients.

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

Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) as a potential predictor and intervention target for perioperative ischemic stroke: a retrospective cohort study. BMC Anesthesiol 2023; 23:268. [PMID: 37563630 PMCID: PMC10413636 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02216-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a nutritional indicator and predictor of various diseases. However it is unclear whether PNI can be a predictor of perioperative ischemic stroke. This study aims to evaluate the association of the preoperative PNI and ischemic stroke in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. METHODS The retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent noncardiac surgery between January 2008 and August 2019. The patients were divided into PNI ≥ 38.8 and PNI < 38.8 groups according to the cut-off value of PNI. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the association between PNI and perioperative ischemic stroke. Subsequently, propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to eliminate the confounding factors of covariates and further validate the results. Subgroup analyses were completed to assess the predictive utility of PNI for perioperative ischemic stroke in different groups. RESULTS Amongst 221,542 hospitalized patients enrolled, 485 (0.22%) experienced an ischemic stroke within 30 days of the surgery, 22.1% of patients were malnourished according to PNI < 38.8, and the occurrence of perioperative ischemic stroke was 0.34% (169/49055) in the PNI < 38.8 group. PNI < 38.8 was significantly associated with an increased incidence of perioperative ischemic stroke whether in univariate logistic regression analysis (OR = 1.884, 95% CI: 1.559-2.267, P < 0.001) or multivariate logistic regression analysis (OR = 1.306, 95% CI: 1.061-1.602, P = 0.011). After PSM analysis, the ORs of PNI < 38.8 group were 1.250 (95% CI: 1.000-1.556, P = 0.050) and 1.357 (95% CI: 1.077-1.704, P = 0.009) in univariate logistic regression analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis respectively. The subgroup analysis indicated that reduced PNI was significantly associated to an increased risk of perioperative ischemic stroke in patients over 65 years old, ASA II, not taking aspirin before surgery, without a history of stroke, who had neurosurgery, non-emergency surgery, and were admitted to ICU after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates that low preoperative PNI is significantly associated with a higher incidence of ischemic stroke in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Preoperative PNI, as a preoperative nutritional status evaluation index, is an independent risk factor useful to predict perioperative ischemic stroke risk, which could be used as an intervenable preoperative clinical biochemical index to reduce the incidence of perioperative ischemic stroke.

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
Prognostic nutritional index (PNI), comprised of serum albumin level and lymphocyte count, is associated with the prognosis of several malignant diseases, while the prognostic value of PNI in extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL) remains unclear. This retrospective multicenter study aimed to investigate the value of PNI in predicting the prognosis of newly diagnosed ENKTL patients by using propensity score matched analysis (PSM). A total of 1022 newly diagnosed ENKTL patients were retrieved from Huaihai Lymphoma Working Group and clinicopathological variables were collected. MaxStat analysis was used to calculate the optimal cut-off points of PNI and other continuous variables. The median age at diagnosis was 47 years and 69.4% were males, with the 5-year OS of 71.7%. According to the MaxStat analysis, 41 was the optimal cut-off point for PNI. The Pseudo R2 before matching was 0.250, and it decreased to less than 0.019 after matching. Confounding factors of the two groups were well balanced after PSM. Multivariable analysis revealed that PNI, Korean Prognostic Index (KPI), eastern cooperative oncology group performance status (ECOG PS), the prognostic index of natural killer lymphoma (PINK) and hemoglobin were independent prognostic factors for ENKTL. The results of subgroup analysis demonstrated that patients with low PNI could predict worse prognosis and re-stratify patients in ECOG PS ≥ 2, EBER-positive, the International Prognostic Index (IPI) (HIR + HR), and PINK (HR) groups. PNI combined with IPI, PINK and KPI could improve the prediction efficiency. In conclusion, PNI could accurately stratify the prognosis of ENKTL by PSM analysis and patients with low PNI had poorer prognosis.

Abstract
Background Malnutrition is associated with adverse outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a validated tool for assessing nutritional status in cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of PNI in heart surgery patients, including mortality rate, length of hospital and ICU stays, and infection rate, while investigating correlations with demographic and clinical characteristics. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Data from electronic medical records of patients undergoing heart surgery between 2019 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The study involved patients with valvular heart disease, including those requiring concomitant procedures. Statistical analysis was conducted using t-tests, logistic regression, and Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis. Results This study included 264 individuals with a mean age of 56.48±12.11 years. The prevalence of low PNI was 50.80% and high PNI was 49.20%. No significant differences in PNI levels were found between individuals with various clinical conditions, except for target vessel revascularization. The mortality rate was slightly higher in the low PNI group, but not statistically significant. Significant differences in laboratory findings were observed between high and low PNI groups. Individuals with low PNI had longer hospital stays. Conclusion Lower PNI levels consistently correlate with longer hospital stays and higher morbidity and mortality rates, suggesting the potential importance of PNI and other nutritional markers in assessing risk and predicting outcomes in cardiac surgery patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is common in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and is associated with a poor prognosis. The prognostic value of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in patients with AMI remains controversial. We aimed to explore the relationship between PNI and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with AMI and evaluate the incremental prognostic value of PNI to commonly used prognostic assessment tools. METHODS The Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database was used to conduct a retrospective cohort analysis on 1180 critically ill patients with AMI. The primary endpoints were defined as 6-month and 1-year all-cause mortality. Cox regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between admission PNI and all-cause mortality. The effect of adding PNI to sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, or charlson comorbidity index (CCI) on its discriminative ability was assessed using C-statistic, net reclassification improvement (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). RESULTS Multivariate cox regression analysis demonstrated that the low PNI was regarded as an independent predictor of 1-year all-cause mortality in AMI patients admitted to ICU (adjusted Hazard Ratio: 95% CI = 1.75 (1.22-2.49)). The ROC test showed that admission PNI had a moderate predictive ability to predict all-cause mortality of critically ill patients with AMI. Furthermore, the net reclassification and integrated discrimination of the CCI alone model improved significantly with PNI. [C-statistic increased from 0.669 to 0.752, p < 0.001; NRI = 0.698, p < 0.001; IDI = 0.073, p < 0.001]. When PNI was added to the SOFA score, the C-statistic significantly improved from 0.770 to 0.805 (p < 0.001), and the NRI and IDI were estimated at 0.573 (p < 0.001) and 0.041 (p < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSION PNI could be a novel predictor for identifying patients at high risk of 1-year all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with AMI. The addition of PNI to the SOFA score or CCI may be useful for very early risk stratification.

Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) as a Potential Prognostic Tool for Exacerbation of COPD in Elderly Patients. Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis 2023; 18:1077-1090. [PMID: 37309393 PMCID: PMC10257926 DOI: 10.2147/copd.s385374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose In COPD, exacerbation of the disorder causes a deterioration in the quality-of-life and worsens respiratory dysfunction, leading to a poor prognosis. In recent years, nutritional indices have been reported as significant prognostic factors in various chronic diseases. However, the relationship between nutritional indicators and prognosis in elderly subjects with COPD has not been investigated. Patients and methods We enrolled 91 subjects who received COPD assessment tests (CAT), spirometry, blood tests, and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). We divided the subjects into two groups according to age (<75 years (n=57) and ≥ 75 years (n=34)). The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) was used to assess immune-nutritional status and was calculated as 10 x serum albumin + 0.005 x total lymphocyte count. We then examined the relationship between PNI and clinical parameters, including exacerbation events. Results There was no significant correlation between the PNI and CAT, the FEV1%pred, or low attenuation volume percentage (LAV%). In the elderly group, there were significant differences between the groups with or without exacerbation in the CAT and PNI (p=0.008, p=0.004, respectively). FEV1%pred, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and LAV% did not differ between the two groups. The analytical model combining CAT and PNI improved the prediction of exacerbations in the elderly subjects (p=0.0068). Conclusion In elderly subjects with COPD, CAT were associated significantly with the risk of COPD exacerbation, with PNI also a potential predictor. The combined assessment of CAT and PNI may be a useful prognostic tool in subjects with COPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies revealing the relationship between major surgery outcomes and nutritional parameters are increasing daily. Publications demonstrating the relationship between early postoperative success and surgical complications in patients with chronic heart failure and continuous flow left ventricular assist device (cf-LVAD) are limited. The vast majority of patients with advanced chronic heart failure are cachexic, and the reason for this is multifactorial. The aim of this study is to investigate the link between the modified nutritional risk index (NRI) and 6-month survival and complication rates in patients with a cf-LVAD. METHODS This study included statistical analysis of NRI and postoperative parameters of 456 patients with advanced heart failure who had cf-LVAD implantation between 2010 and 2020. RESULTS The results of this study showed a statistically significant difference between mean NRI values and postoperative parameters such as 6-month survival (P = .001), right ventricular failure (P = .003), infection (P = .001), driveline infection (P = .000), and sepsis (P = .000). CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that 6-month postoperative complications and mortality rates of patients with advanced heart failure in patients with cf-LVAD are closely related to malnutrition status. In these patients, nutrition specialist use would be beneficial both preoperatively and postoperatively to increase surveillance and reduce postoperative complications.

Abstract
Aims The development of acute heart failure (AHF) is a critical decision point in the natural history of the disease and carries a dismal prognosis. The lack of appropriate risk-stratification tools at hospital discharge of AHF patients significantly limits clinical ability to precisely tailor patient-specific therapeutic regimen at this pivotal juncture. Machine learning-based strategies may improve risk stratification by incorporating analysis of high-dimensional patient data with multiple covariates and novel prediction methodologies. In the current study, we aimed at evaluating the drivers for success in prediction models and establishing an institute-tailored artificial Intelligence-based prediction model for real-time decision support. Methods and results We used a cohort of all 10 868 patients AHF patients admitted to a tertiary hospital during a 12 years period. A total of 372 covariates were collected from admission to the end of the hospitalization. We assessed model performance across two axes: (i) type of prediction method and (ii) type and number of covariates. The primary outcome was 1-year survival from hospital discharge. For the model-type axis, we experimented with seven different methods: logistic regression (LR) with either L1 or L2 regularization, random forest (RF), Cox proportional hazards model (Cox), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), a deep neural-net (NeuralNet) and an ensemble classifier of all the above methods. We were able to achieve an area under receiver operator curve (AUROC) prediction accuracy of more than 80% with most prediction models including L1/L2-LR (80.4%/80.3%), Cox (80.2%), XGBoost (80.5%), NeuralNet (80.4%). RF was inferior to other methods (78.8%), and the ensemble model was slightly superior (81.2%). The number of covariates was a significant modifier (P < 0.001) of prediction success, the use of multiplex-covariates preformed significantly better (AUROC 80.4% for L1-LR) compared with a set of known clinical covariates (AUROC 77.8%). Demographics followed by lab-tests and administrative data resulted in the largest gain in model performance. Conclusions The choice of the predictive modelling method is secondary to the multiplicity and type of covariates for predicting AHF prognosis. The application of a structured data pre-processing combined with the use of multiple-covariates results in an accurate, institute-tailored risk prediction in AHF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased body mass index (BMI) is associated with better survival in patients with acute heart failure (AHF), which is a paradoxical phenomenon. However, it is unclear whether different nutritional status affects this association. METHODS 1325 patients with AHF from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III database were retrospectively included. Nutritional status was assessed by serum albumin (SA) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). Patients were divided into High-SA (≥ 3.5 g/dL) and Low-SA groups (< 3.5 g/dL), and they also were divided into High-PNI (≥ 38) and Low-PNI groups (< 38). Propensity-score matching (PSM) was used to control for the effect of baseline confounding factors, multifactor regression model was adopted to assess the association of nutritional status, BMI, and outcomes in AHF patients. RESULTS Of the 1325 patients (mean age 72.4 ± 13.1 years), 52.1% (n = 690) were male, 13.1% (n = 173) died in hospital and 23.5% (n = 311) died within 90 days. Before PSM, after adjusting for potential confounders, in the High-SA population, compared with the under/normal BMI group, overweight and obesity were negatively correlated with 90-day mortality, with adjusted hazard ratios (HR) of 0.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.30-0.74), P = 0.001; HR 0.45, 95%CI (0.28-0.72), P = 0.001, respectively. However, this correlation was much attenuated in the Low-SA group (overweight BMI: HR 1.06, 95%CI 0.75-1.50, P = 0.744; obese BMI: HR 0.86, 95%CI 0.59-1.24, P = 0.413). After PSM, those who were overweight or obese in the High-SA group had a 50-58% reduction in 90-day risk of death, while the protective effect disappeared in the Low-SA group (HR 1.09, 95% CI 0.70-1.71; HR 1.02, 95%CI 0.66 - 0.59). Similarly, results were similar in analyses using PNI as a nutritional assessment criterion. CONCLUSION Overweight or Obesity was associated with lower short-term mortality in well-nourished AHF patients, whereas this association was significantly attenuated or even disappeared in malnourished patients. Therefore, further research is needed for weight loss recommendations for malnourished obese patients with AHF.

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
Objectives: Malnutrition is frequently seen in stroke patients. Malnutrition worsens the prognosis and increases the mortality rate in acute ischemic stroke patients. Malnutrition is a significant factor not only in the initiation of infection but also in its progression. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a new index that evaluates the nutrition and inflammatory status. This study aims to investigate the relationship between PNI and stroke-related infection (SRI) development during hospitalization in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Materials and Methods: Acute ischemic stroke was the primary diagnosis for 158 patients who were admitted to the neurology intensive care unit. Patients' demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters were recorded. PNI was calculated according to the formula given below. PNI: 10 × serum albumin (g/dL) + 0.005 × total lymphocyte count (mm3). PNI > 380 normal, PNI: 350-380 moderate malnutrition risk, PNI < 350 severe malnutrition risk. Results: A total of 158 patients with acute ischemic stroke were included in the study. There were 70 male and 88 female patients, whereas the mean age of the patients was 67.79 ± 14.0 years. Nosocomial infection developed in 34 (21%) of the patients. Compared to high PNI scores, patients with low PNI scores were generally older, and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, atrial fibrillation, infection, mortality rate, and hospitalization rates were all significantly higher. Conclusions: In this study, we discovered that patients with poor PNI had a considerably increased rate of infection development. It is vital to evaluate the nutritional status of patients with acute ischemic stroke during hospitalization.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a major problem in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a nutritional status score used in the literature to determine the prognosis of coronary artery disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of preprocedural PNI values on the risk of ISR in patients with stable coronary artery disease who underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 809 patients. Stent restenosis was evaluated in the follow-up coronary angiography of the patients due to stable angina pectoris or acute coronary syndrome. The patients were divided into two groups based on those with (n = 236) and without (n = 573) in-stent restenosis, and their nutritional status was compared with PNI. The PNI values before the first angiography of the patients were calculated. Results: The mean PNI score was significantly lower in patients with ISR than in those without ISR (49.5 vs. 52.3, p < 0.001). Concerning the results of the Cox regression hazard model for predictors of ISR, PNI was significantly associated with the development of ISR (HR = 0.932, 95% CI: 0.909–0.956, p < 0.001). In addition, stent type, stent length, and diabetes mellitus were associated with the development of ISR. Conclusions: A low PNI value indicates poor nutritional status, which is thought to accelerate inflammation processes and cause atherosclerosis and ISR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition and inflammation are associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with diabetes or coronary artery disease (CAD). Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a comprehensive and simple indicator reflecting nutritional condition and immunological status. Whether there is a crosstalk between nutritional-immunological status and diabetes status for the impact on the prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) is unclear. METHODS A total of 9429 consecutive CAD patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention were grouped by diabetes status [diabetes (DM) and non-diabetes (non-DM)] and preprocedural PNI level [high PNI (H-PNI) and low PNI (L-PNI)] categorized by the statistically optimal cut-off value of 48.49. The primary endpoint was all-cause death. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 5.1 years (interquartile range: 5.0-5.1 years), 366 patients died. Compared with the non-DM/H-PNI group, the DM/L-PNI group yielded the highest risk of all-cause death (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.65, 95% confidence interval: 1.97-3.56, p < 0.001), followed by the non-DM/L-PNI group (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.44, 95% confidence interval: 1.05-1.98, p = 0.026), while DM/H-PNI was not associated with the risk of all-cause death. The negative effect of L-PNI on all-cause death was significantly stronger in diabetic patients than in nondiabetic patients (p for interaction = 0.037). Preprocedural PNI category significantly improved the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score for predicting all-cause death in patients with acute coronary syndrome, especially in those with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS CAD patients with diabetes and L-PNI experienced the worst prognosis. The presence of diabetes amplifies the negative effect of L-PNI on all-cause death. Poor nutritional-immunological status outweighs diabetes in increasing the risk of all-cause death in CAD patients. Preprocedural PNI can serve as an assessment tool for nutritional and inflammatory risk and an independent prognostic factor in CAD patients, especially in those with diabetes.

Abstract
Introduction Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a novel inflammation marker that useful in predicting prognosis of certain conditions. We aimed to study PNI of the outpatient and inpatient subjects with established Covid-19 and also aimed to compare PNI of deceased and survived Covid-19 patients. Methods The patients with Covid-19 whom presented to outpatient or inpatient clinics of Abant Izzet Baysal University Hospital were enrolled to the study. PNI levels of the inpatients and outpatients, deceased and survived were compared. PNI values of deceased and survived in inpatients were also compared. Results Study population was consisted of 4419 subjects (2907 outpatients and 1512 inpatients). PNI of the inpatient (41.55 (36.42-47.1)) group was significantly lower than the PNI of the outpatient (51.95 (47.95-55.75)) subjects (p<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of PNI (≤46.2 level) in determination of requirement inpatient treatment were 71.2% and 83.5%, respectively. PNI of the deceased patients (37(33.39-40.86)) was lower than the PNI of the survivors (50.45(45.6-54.65)), (p<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of PNI at ≤44.55 level in determining mortality were 89.22% and 78.87%, respectively. Conclusion We suggest that PNI could serve as a reliable prognostic index in covid-19 patients. Reduced level of PNI should alert physicians since it is associated with need for hospitalization and mortality in this population.

Prognostic Value of Cheyne-Stokes Respiration and Nutritional Status in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15040964. [PMID: 36839321 PMCID: PMC9966345 DOI: 10.3390/nu15040964] [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: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Malnutrition frequently coexists with heart failure (HF), leading to series of negative consequences. Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) is predominantly detected in patients with HF. However, the effect of CSR and malnutrition on the long-term prognosis of patients with acute decompensated HF (ADHF) remains unclear. We enrolled 162 patients with ADHF (median age, 62 years; 78.4% men). The presence of CSR was assessed using polysomnography and the controlling nutritional status score was assessed to evaluate the nutritional status. Patients were divided into four groups based on CSR and malnutrition. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. In total, 44% of patients had CSR and 67% of patients had malnutrition. The all-cause mortality rate was 26 (16%) during the 35.9 months median follow-up period. CSR with malnutrition was associated with lower survival rates (log-rank p < 0.001). Age, hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte count, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, B-type natriuretic peptide, administration of loop diuretics, apnea-hypopnea index and central apnea-hypopnea index were significantly different among all groups (p < 0.05). CSR with malnutrition was independently associated with all-cause mortality. In conclusion, CSR with malnutrition is associated with a high risk of all-cause mortality in patients with ADHF.

Differential plasma protein expression after ingestion of essential amino acid-based dietary supplement verses whey protein in low physical functioning older adults. GeroScience 2023:10.1007/s11357-023-00725-5. [PMID: 36720768 PMCID: PMC10400527 DOI: 10.1007/s11357-023-00725-5] [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: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
In a recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we were able to demonstrate the superiority of a dietary supplement composed of essential amino acids (EAAs) over whey protein, in older adults with low physical function. In this paper, we describe the comparative plasma protein expression in the same subject groups of EAAs vs whey. The plasma proteomics data was generated using SOMA scan assay. A total of twenty proteins were found to be differentially expressed in both groups with a 1.5-fold change. Notably, five proteins showed a significantly higher fold change expression in the EAA group which included adenylate kinase isoenzyme 1, casein kinase II 2-alpha, Nascent polypeptide-associated complex subunit alpha, peroxiredoxin-1, and peroxiredoxin-6. These five proteins might have played a significant role in providing energy for the improved cardiac and muscle strength of older adults with LPF. On the other hand, fifteen proteins showed slightly lower fold change expression in the EAA group. Some of these 15 proteins regulate metabolism and were found to be associated with inflammation or other comorbidities. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis showed the association of these proteins with several biological processes. Furthermore, protein-protein interaction network analysis also showed distinct networks between upregulated and downregulated proteins. In conclusion, the important biological roles of the upregulated proteins plus better physical function of participants in the EAAs vs whey group demonstrated that EAAs have the potential to improve muscle strength and physical function in older adults. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03424265 "Nutritional interventions in heart failure."

Clinical significance of the preoperative prognostic nutritional index on age/comorbidity burdens in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer. Surg Today 2023; 53:681-691. [PMID: 36720742 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-023-02650-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Objective nutritional scoring systems using preoperative blood samples have shown the potential to predict the postoperative outcomes of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it remains unclear whether the prognostic impact depends on age and comorbid burdens. We conducted this study to validate the impact of preoperative nutritional status, stratified with age and comorbidity. METHODS We reviewed the preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and postoperative outcomes of 713 consecutive patients with completely resected NSCLC. RESULTS We identified the optimal cutoff values of the PNI as 46. Significantly higher postoperative complication rates and worse survival rates were observed in the low PNI (≤ 46) group, regardless of age/comorbidity burdens. Multivariate analysis showed that a low PNI (≤ 46) was an independent prognostic factor for poor overall survival (hazard ratio: 2.5). A matched-pair analysis gave consistent results, showing that a low PNI (≤ 46) was an independent prognostic factor for poor overall survival (OS; hazard ratio: 1.8) and recurrence-free survival (RFS; hazard ratio: 1.6). CONCLUSION Nutritional status, indexed by the PNI, is a strong prognostic factor for the postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing curative resection for NSCL, regardless of age/comorbidity burdens.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal involvement is a common clinical feature of patients with systemic amyloidosis. This condition is responsible for invalidating gastrointestinal symptoms, a significant macro and micronutrient deficit, and is a marker of disease severity. Gastrointestinal involvement should be actively sought in patients with systemic amyloidosis, while its diagnosis is challenging in patients with isolated gastrointestinal symptoms. The nutritional status in systemic amyloidosis plays an essential role in the clinical course and is considered a significant prognostic factor. However, the definition of nutritional status is still challenging due to the lack of internationally accepted thresholds for anthropometric and biochemical variables, especially in specific populations such as those with systemic amyloidosis. This review aims to elucidate the fundamental steps for nutritional assessment by using clinical and instrumental tools for better prognostic stratification and patient management regarding quality of life and outcomes.

Abstract
High mortality in dialysis patients is linked to malnutrition and inflammation. Prognostic nutritional index (PNI), calculated from serum albumin level and total lymphocyte count, has been developed as a prognostic marker for cancer patients. We investigated the clinical utility of PNI in predicting mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Thus, 101,616 patients who initiated hemodialysis in United States dialysis centers between 2007 and 2011 were included in this retrospective cohort study. Using the Cox regression model, we assessed the relationship between PNI and mortality. Further, the predictive value of PNI for one-year mortality was compared with that of its constituent using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, net reclassification improvement, and integrated discrimination improvement. Higher PNI quartiles were incrementally associated with lower mortality; in patients with PNI values of 39.5−<43.1, 43.1−<46.6, and ≥46.6 (reference: PNI < 39.5), case-mix adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 0.66 (0.64, 0.68), 0.49 (0.48, 0.51), and 0.36 (0.34, 0.37), respectively. PNI predicted mortality better than serum albumin level or total lymphocyte count alone. In the subgroup analysis, PNI performed well in predicting mortality in patients aged < 65 years. Our results indicate that PNI is a simple and practical prognostic marker in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Abstract
Background Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is an independent predictor of the prognosis of various diseases. However, the prognosis value of PNI in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis (DLC) remains unknown. The study aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of PNI in patients with DLC. Methods A total of 214 eligible patients were enrolled in the study's development cohort between January 2018 and March 2021. The clinical primary study endpoints were mortality at 3 and 6 months. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to assess the PNI's prediction accuracy, and Youden's index was utilized to determine the PNI's optimal cut-off value. Moreover, based on the optimal cut-off value, patients were categorized into high and low PNI groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent risk factors for mortality, while the relationship between PNI and the risk of death was identified and demonstrated using restricted cubic splines (RCS). A validation cohort of 139 patients was to verify the predictive power of the PNI. Results In the development cohort, the mortality rate at 3 and 6 months were 10.3% (22) and 14.0% (30), respectively. The PNI had comparable predictive power with the MELD score at all follow-up endpoints. Decreased PNI was an independent predictor of adverse prognosis at all follow-up endpoints. The RCS revealed a linear correlation between PNI and the risk of death. We confirmed that lower PNI was an independent predictor of poor prognosis in the validation cohort. Conclusion The findings showed that lower PNI is an independent factor of poor outcomes and might be utilized as a potentially promising prognostic predictor in patients with DLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The high rate of weight regain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a great challenge. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII; calculated by neutrophils, lymphocytes, and platelets) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI; calculated by albumin and lymphocytes) are widely used as prognostic factors in various diseases. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate independent the independent risk factors associated with weight regain in patients after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. SETTING A single-center retrospective study. METHODS Weight regain was defined as the percentage of increase in body weight ≥10% in comparison with the nadir weight postoperatively. Eligible patients admitted to the bariatric center of our hospital were consecutively enrolled and grouped according to the occurrence of weight regain within 5 postoperative years. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess potential risk factors. A nomogram model containing the risk factors was then constructed and evaluated by R. RESULTS A total of 217 patients were enrolled, and 87 (40.1%) patients experienced weight regain. Univariate and logistic regression analyses indicated that depression (odds ratio [OR]: 2.51, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.20-5.22, P = .015), psychological counseling (OR: 2.27, 95% CI: 1.20-4.33, P = .017), preoperative C-reactive protein (OR: 2.20, 95% CI: 1.18-4.13, P = .012), and combination of SII-PNI scores (OR: .45, 95% CI: .31-.67, P < .001) were 4 independent risk factors for postoperative weight regain in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy patients. The area under the curve of the constructed nomogram model for predicting weight regain was .706. CONCLUSIONS This study concluded that the combination of the SII-PNI was an independent risk factor for weight regain and that the nomogram model based on the combination of the SII-PNI had a good predictive value.

A Low Prognostic Nutritional Index Is a Risk Factor for High Peritoneal Transport Status in Patients Undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis. J Ren Nutr 2023; 33:201-207. [PMID: 35367359 DOI: 10.1053/j.jrn.2022.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES A high peritoneal transport status is a risk factor for mortality and causes technical failure in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). High peritoneal transport status is associated with malnutrition and inflammation in patients with PD. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is a marker determined by the serum albumin level and lymphocyte count in the peripheral blood. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between PNI and high peritoneal transport status in patients with PD. METHODS We retrospectively investigated patients with PD from January 1, 2013 to May 31, 2020, in 4 PD centers. Patients with PD were divided into 2 groups according to PNI quartiles: the low PNI group (PNI ≤ 36.6) and the high PNI group (PNI > 36.6). The demographics and clinical and laboratory baseline data of the 2 groups were collected and compared. The association between PNI and high peritoneal transport status was analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 404 patients with PD were enrolled in our study. A total of 77 (19.06%) patients had high peritoneal transport status. After adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, residual urine volume, current smoking status, pre-existing cardiovascular disease, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, triglycerides, and intact parathyroid hormone, low PNI levels were significantly associated with high peritoneal transport status (odds ratio 3.42, 95% confidence interval 1.82-5.18, P = .0056). Subgroup analysis showed that there was no interaction among PNI and age, sex, diabetes, body mass index, pre-existing cardiovascular disease, or current smoking. CONCLUSION As a marker for malnutrition and inflammation, a low level of PNI is an independent risk factor for high peritoneal transport status in patients with PD.
