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 value of nutritional screening tools in hospitalized patients with decompensated heart failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Nutr Res 2023; 120:1-19. [PMID: 37871448 DOI: 10.1016/j.nutres.2023.09.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023]
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. PROSPERO registration number (CRD42021256271).

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In the absence of a gold standard or scientific consensus regarding the nutritional evaluation of heart failure (HF) patients, this study aimed to summarize and systematically evaluate the prognostic value of nutritional screening and assessment tools used for all-cause mortality in HF patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Relevant studies were retrieved from major databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang Data, and China Biology Medicine disc (CMB)) and searched from the earliest available date until July 2021. If three or more studies used the same tool, meta-analysis using RevMan 5.3 was performed. This systematic review was registered at PROSPERO (number CRD42021275575). A total of 36 articles involving 25,141 HF patients were included for qualitative analysis and 31 studies for quantitative analysis. Meta-analysis of these studies indicated, poor nutritional status evaluated by using 5 nutritional screening tools (Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Controlling Nutritional Status Score (CONUT), Nutritional Risk Index (NRI), and Short Form Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA-SF)) or 2 nutritional assessment tools (the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) and Generated Subjective Global Assessment (SGA)) predicted all-cause mortality in HF patients. Of all tools analyzed, MNA had the maximum HR for mortality [HR = 2.62, 95%CI 1.11-6.20, P = 0.03] and MNA-SF [HR = 1.94, 95%CI 1.40-2.70, P<0.001] was the best nutritional screening tools. CONCLUSION Poor nutritional status predicted all-cause mortality in HF patients. MNA may be the best nutritional assessment tool, and MNA-SF is most recommended for HF patient nutritional screening. The application value of MNA, especially in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), needs to be further confirmed. The clinical application value of Mini-Nutrition Assessment Special for Heart Failure (MNA-HF) and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) in HF patients needs to be confirmed.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:535627. [PMID: 34568349 PMCID: PMC8458734 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.535627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2020] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Malnutrition is a major health problem, which is common in hospitalized elderly patients and is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. However, studies on malnutrition and its effect on postoperative pain outcomes in elderly patients have been largely neglected. Here we investigated the relationship between nutritional risk and postoperative pain outcomes in elderly patients. Methods: Between April 1, 2012, and August 31, 2015, 734 elderly patients (≥65 years) who underwent gastrointestinal surgeries were recruited and assigned into two groups according to geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI). All patients received standard anesthesia procedures and postoperative patient-controlled analgesia for 48 h. The preoperative epidemiology data and postoperative outcome data including pain intensities at rest and movement, the cumulative consumption of analgesics and its common side effects were recorded. Results: The total number of patients with high nutritional risk (GNRI < 92) was 533 out of 734 (72.62%). When compared with low nutritional risk individuals (GNRI ≥ 92), the incidence of inadequate analgesia was significantly higher in elderly patients with GNRI < 92 at different time points. In addition, the cumulative consumption of analgesics was also significantly higher in elderly patients with GNRI < 92 at 0–6 h postoperatively. Through logistic regression analysis, high nutritional risk (OR = 3.113, 95% CI: 1.661–5.834, P < 0.001) and female gender (OR = 0.606, 95% CI: 0.394–0.932, P = 0.023) were identified as significant predictors for postoperative inadequate analgesia. Further sensitivity analyses showed high nutritional risk as a predictor for postoperative inadequate analgesia was more prominent in female patients and early elderly patients. Moreover, 88 was determined as an optimal cut-off value of GNRI for postoperative inadequate analgesia using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Conclusion: High nutritional risk is associated with poor postoperative pain outcomes in gastrointestinal elderly patients. Preoperative nutritional evaluation using simple nutritional screening instruments (e.g., GNRI) with the new suggested cut-off value (GNRI = 88) might be included as a standard procedure in routine clinical practice among these patients for postoperative analgesia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated whether the nutritional risk index (NRI) score at diagnosis might be useful for anticipating poor prognosis, in particular, all-cause mortality and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV). METHODS The medical records of 242 immunosuppressive drug-naïve patients with AAV were retrospectively reviewed. Data at diagnosis and poor prognosis and medications during follow-up were assessed. The NRI score was calculated by 1.519 × serum albumin (g/L) + 41.7 × present (kg)/ideal body weight (kg). RESULTS The median age at diagnosis of patients with AAV (131 microscopic polyangiitis, 62 granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and 49 eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis) was 60 years (85 male). During follow-up, twenty-nine patients (12.0%) died after a period of 35.9 months, and 42 patients (17.4%) had ESRD for a period of 30.0 months. Using the receiver operator characteristic curve, the cutoffs of the NRI scores for all-cause mortality and ESRD were calculated as NRI ≤ 101.95 (sensitivity, 46.5%; specificity, 89.7%) and NRI ≤ 99.85 (sensitivity, 57.0%; specificity, 83.3%). In the multivariable Cox hazard model analyses, age (hazard ratio [HR], 1.035), five-factor score (HR, 1.623), and the NRI score ≤ 101.95 (HR, 4.262) were independent predictors of all-cause mortality, whereas, five-factor score (HR, 1.516), hypertension (HR, 1.906), and the NRI score ≤ 99.85 (HR, 3.623) were independent predictors of ESRD occurrence during follow-up in patients with AAV. CONCLUSIONS The NRI score at diagnosis may be a useful index to anticipate all-cause mortality and ESRD occurrence during follow-up in patients with AAV.

Abstract
Introduction: One of the main factors contributing to the development of nutritional deficits in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients is the systemic inflammatory process. Progressing inflammatory response leads to exacerbation of the disease and could develop into cardiac cachexia (CC), characterized by involuntary weight loss followed by muscle wasting. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between rs767455 (36 T/C) of the TNFRSF1A and the occurrence of nutritional disorders in CHF patients with cachexia. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 142 CHF individuals who underwent cardiac and nutritional screening in order to assess cardiac performance and nutritional status. The relationship between TNFRSF1A rs767455 genotypes and patients' features was investigated. Results: A greater distribution of the TT genotype among cachectic patients in contrast to non-cachectic individuals was found (TT frequencies of 62.9% and 37.1%, respectively; p = 0.013). We noted a significantly lower albumin concentration (p = 0.039) and higher C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (p = 0.019) in patients with the TT genotype. Regarding cardiac parameters, CHF individuals bearing the TT genotype demonstrated a significant reduction in ejection fraction (EF) (p = 0.033) in contrast to other genotype carriers; moreover, they had a significantly higher concentration of N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the blood (p = 0.018). We also noted a lower frequency of TT genotype carriers among individuals qualified as grades I or II of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) (p = 0.006). The multivariable analysis selected the TT genotype as an unfavorable factor related to a higher chance of cachexia in CHF patients (Odds ratio (OR) = 2.56; p = 0.036). Conclusions: The rs767455TT genotype of TNFRSF1A can be considered as an unfavorable factor related to a higher risk of cachexia in CHF patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elderly patients present a higher risk of developing chronic subdural hematomas (CSDHs) together with increased risk of malnutrition. The nutritional status may affect outcomes, response to treatments, and prognosis. Influence on other kinds of diseases was investigated showing an increased risk of mortality, morbidity, and adverse outcomes. However, no studies are available on its possible role for the outcome of patients with CSDH. This study aims to evaluate a possible relationship between the nutritional status and the clinical outcome of patients who underwent CSDH surgery. METHODS This is a multicenter prospective study enrolling all patients treated for CSDH. Demographic and clinical data were collected. For nutritional status evaluation, we used the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). Chi-square test was used for comparing clinical variables of patients and logistic regression analysis was used for defining the impact of the aforementioned variables on the clinical outcome. RESULTS We enrolled 178 patients. Modified Rankin scale (mRS) was 0-2 pre-operatively in 23.6% of patients and post-operatively in 61.2% of patients. Total assessment MNA score was >23.5 in 47.8% of patients. Ninety-three patients (52.2%) presented a normal nutritional status, 63 (35.4%) were at risk of malnutrition and 22 (12.4%) were malnourished. The mean follow-up was 2.6 months. Malnourished patients were at higher risk of a worse outcome (OR 81; CI = 9-750). CONCLUSION This study suggests that nutritional status represents a strong predictor of outcome. Our results, albeit preliminary, demonstrated malnutrition is correlated to the risk of worse clinical outcome for patients undergoing surgery for chronic subdural hematoma. Further investigations with wider casuistry and multiple nutritional scores are required to validate our data.

[PMID: 36262366 PMCID: PMC9536678 DOI: 10.36628/ijhf.2020.0010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2020] [Revised: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a progressive condition with intermittent acute decompensation leading to poor prognosis despite established guideline-directed therapy. A paradigm of HF therapy has been shifted over last four decades. Until the early 1970s, HF was empirically managed, then was managed with the hemodynamic concept until the early 1980s. According to the results of large randomized clinical trials, HF therapy has been shifted to the neurohormonal paradigm since the late 1980s until recently. Korean Acute Heart Failure (KorAHF) registry is a multi-center registry that recruited a total of 5625 admitted patients with acute HF from 2011 to 2014 and followed until 2019. Through KorAHF registry, we could obtain invaluable information or messages in various fields such as epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and treatment of acute HF in Korea and also had opportunities to fill the gap between guideline-directed care and real-world practice. Considering significant unmet needs in HF therapy even at this moment, we do need another paradigm shift for HF therapy, such as molecular and regenerative paradigm using gene, stem cells, mechanical support as well as novel pharmacological agents.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this report is to critically review existing questionnaires and tools to assess nutritional status in different populations and pathological conditions. RECENT FINDINGS A total of 16 instruments to evaluate nutritional status were recorded, which were based on anthropometrical determinations, biochemical markers, clinical examinations and subjective questionnaires, depending on the nutritional assessment focus, involving different concepts: screening of the risk, diagnosis and severity of malnutrition, as well as the consequences of undernutrition or overnutrition. SUMMARY A variety of questionnaires, equations and tools were found with ability to assess nutritional status for metabolic care or clinical nutrition purposes, but apparently there is no optimal, universal and reliable nutritional status screening system for all metabolic conditions. Novel assessment instruments should provide high sensibility and specificity, be precise and reliable as well as inexpensive and simple, in order to avoid the additional burden of excessive loads of costs, work and time while dynamically overcoming the influence of disease diversity.

A Novel Nutritional Index Serves as A Useful Prognostic Indicator in Cardiac Critical Patients Requiring Mechanical Circulatory Support. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11061420. [PMID: 31238536 PMCID: PMC6627834 DOI: 10.3390/nu11061420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2019] [Revised: 06/18/2019] [Accepted: 06/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A poor nutritional status has been gathering intense clinical interest recently as it has been suggested to associate with adverse outcomes in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). However, there is still no established nutritional index dominantly used in clinical practice. We have previously proposed a novel nutritional index, which can be calculated using serum levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and body weight (TCBI). In this study, to expand the application of TCBI for critical patients, we investigated the usefulness of TCBI to predict prognosis in hemodynamically unstable patients with percutaneously implantable mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices in the ICU. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of a multicenter registry consisting of three Juntendo University hospitals in Japan involving patients who received MCS devices, including intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) with or without veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), between 2012 and 2016 (n = 439). The median follow-up period was 298 days. RESULTS Spearman's correlation coefficient between TCBI and the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) was 0.44 (p < 0.0001), indicating a moderate positive correlation for these two variables. Unadjusted Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated reduced risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities in patients with higher tertiles of TCBI. Furthermore, adjusted multivariate Cox proportional hazard analyses revealed that the highest tertile TCBI was an independent predictor for the reduced risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio (HR): 0.22, 95% confidence interval: 0.10-0.48, p < 0.0001) and cardiovascular mortality (0.20, 0.09-0.45, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION A novel and simple to calculate nutritional index, TCBI, can be applicable as a prognostic indicator in hemodynamically unstable patients requiring MCS devices.
