Ann Vasc Dis 2024; 17:135-141. [PMID: 38919321 PMCID: PMC11196169 DOI: 10.3400/avd.oa.23-00079] [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: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives: We examined the relationship between plasma eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) level and long-term all-cause death (ACD) and cardiovascular or limb events in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Method: We performed a prospective cohort study on 637 PAD patients. The endpoints were ACD, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), and lower extremity arterial events (LEAEs). Results: The incidences of ACD, MACEs, and LEAEs had correlation with EPA levels (p <0.05). Plasma EPA level had significant positive correlations with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and negative correlation with C-reactive protein (CRP). In Cox stepwise multivariate analysis, lower EPA (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.996, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.993-1.000, p = 0.034), ankle brachial pressure index (ABI), body mass index, serum albumin, eGFR, age, CRP, D-dimer, critical limb ischemia, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease (CVD), and statin were related to ACD (p <0.05); lower EPA (HR: 0.997, 95% CI: 0.994-1.000, p = 0.038), ABI, serum albumin, eGFR, age, diabetes, coronary heart disease, CVD, and statin were related to MACEs (p <0.05); and lower EPA (HR: 0.988, 95% CI: 0.982-0.993, p <0.001), ABI, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were related to LEAEs (p <0.05). Conclusions: Low plasma EPA level was a significant risk factor for ACD, MACEs, and LEAEs in patients with PAD.

J Clin Med 2024; 13:1508.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aging is a key risk factor for atherosclerosis progression that is associated with increased incidence of ischemic events in supplied organs, including stroke, coronary events, limb ischemia, or renal failure. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and major disability in adults ≥ 75 years of age. Atherosclerotic occlusive disease affects everyday activity, quality of life, and it is associated with reduced life expectancy. As most multicenter randomized trials exclude elderly and very elderly patients, particularly those with severe comorbidities, physical or cognitive dysfunctions, frailty, or residence in a nursing home, there is insufficient data on the management of older patients presenting with atherosclerotic lesions outside coronary territory. This results in serious critical gaps in knowledge and a lack of guidance on the appropriate medical treatment. In addition, due to a variety of severe comorbidities in the elderly, the average daily number of pills taken by octogenarians exceeds nine. Polypharmacy frequently results in drug therapy problems related to interactions, drug toxicity, falls with injury, delirium, and non-adherence. Therefore, we have attempted to gather data on the medical treatment in patients with extra-cardiac atherosclerotic lesions indicating where there is some evidence of the management in elderly patients and where there are gaps in evidence-based medicine. Public PubMed databases were searched to review existing evidence on the effectiveness of lipid-lowering, antithrombotic, and new glucose-lowering medications in patients with extra-cardiac atherosclerotic occlusive disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and peripheral artery disease (PAD). METHODS The present study is a cross-sectional study based on the National Health and Nutrition Survey (1999-2004). The laboratory-calculated PNI was divided into four groups based on quartiles(Q1:PNI ≤ 50.00; Q2: 50.01-53.00; Q3:53.01-56.00; Q4: > 56.00). PAD was defined as an ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) ≤ 0.9 on the left or right. The relationship between PNI and PAD was examined using multifactor weighted logistic regression analysis, as well as subgroup analysis. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on demographic and clinical variables. RESULTS A total of 5,447 individuals were included in our final analysis. The age of the participants was 59.56 ± 13.10 years, and males accounted for 52.8% (n = 2820). The prevalence of PAD was 6.7% (n = 363). After adjusting for all factors, participants with Q1 still had an increased risk of PAD, with an OR value of 1.593 and a 95% CI of 1.232-1.991. Subgroup analysis showed no significant interaction among multiple factors. CONCLUSIONS In summary, we report that lower PNI are associated with a higher risk of PAD in US adults. It is hoped that this discovery can provide a reference for the prevention of PAD.

Abstract
Objective Atherosclerosis is a significant cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, with a greater impact on men than women. Dietary antioxidant intake is inversely related to the risk of atherosclerosis development. We aimed to investigate the association between dietary composite antioxidant intake and the ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI). The ABPI is not only used for assessing the progression of arterial lesions but also for stratifying the risk of atherosclerotic disease. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional analysis involving 1,049 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We examined six antioxidants (zinc, selenium, carotenoids, and vitamins A, C, and E) and a composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) derived from these antioxidants as exposure variables. The primary outcomes encompassed cardio-metabolic parameters, including body mass index (BMI), body fat mass (BFM), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL and LDL cholesterol, C-reactive protein, and the Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI). Associations and interactions between variables were assessed using linear regression analyses. Moreover, mediation and moderation analysis is employed. Results Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that among men, dietary intake of zinc, selenium, and vitamin A remained positively associated with a higher ABPI even after adjusting for covariates. Conversely, in the stratified regression analysis based on CDAI quartiles, a U-shaped association between CDAI and ABPI was suggested. Notably, no significant association between dietary antioxidant intake and ABPI was observed among women. CDAI, intake of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E do not influence all-cause death through mediation by abpi, but rather have a direct effect on all-cause death. Moreover, there is a significant interaction between the intake of Vitamin A and gender, where a daily intake of Vitamin A more than 776 ug is especially beneficial for women. Conclusion The combined intake of nutrients with antioxidant properties may prevent the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis and influence the outcome in a sex-specific manner.

Abstract
Objective In this investigation, we focused on the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), a comprehensive metric that takes into account the patient's ideal weight, actual weight, and serum albumin levels to measure malnutrition. Our primary objective was to examine the predictive value of GNRI-defined malnutrition in determining the response to immunotherapy among cancer patients. Methods Relevant articles for this study were systematically searched in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Google Scholar up to July 2023. Our analysis evaluated overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR) as clinical outcomes. Results This analysis comprised a total of eleven articles encompassing 1,417 patients. The pooled results revealed that cancer patients with low GNRI levels exhibited shorter OS (HR: 2.64, 95% CI: 2.08-3.36, p < 0.001) and PFS (HR: 1.87, 95% CI: 1.46-2.41, p < 0.001), and lower ORR (OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.33-0.65, p < 0.001) and DCR (OR: 0.42, 95% CI: 0.29-0.61, p < 0.001). Sensitivity analyses confirmed that the above results were stable. Egger's and Begg's tests revealed that there was no publication bias in the above results. Conclusion Our results imply that the GNRI is a useful predictor of immunotherapy response in cancer 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.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Elevated urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) is an established risk factor for lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in non-diabetes individual. This study aimed to determine the relationship between urinary ACR level and PAD in diabetes population. METHODS AND RESULTS A cross-section study with 1396 hospitalized diabetes participants from department of endocrinology and neurology were performed and the propensity score matching method was applied to reduce the effects of confounding factors between the matched PAD and Non-PAD groups. The relationship between urinary ACR and ankle-brachial index (ABI) was analyzed by linear curve fitting analyses and multiple logistic regression models. Our study showed that the prevalence of PAD (low ABI, ABI<0.9) was 7.09% in our diabetes patients. The ABI level was significantly lower in high ACR group compared with those in normal urinary ACR group (1.11 ± 0.17 vs 1.13 ± 0.15, p = 0.010). The prevalence of PAD was increased with the increased tertile's of log2-transformed ACR in total patients before and after propensity score matching (p < 0.001 and p = 0.007, respectively). The OR (95% CI) between log2-transformed ACR and PAD was 1.0 and 1.70 (1.08-2.69, p = 0.022) respectively in normal and high ACR levels in diabetes patients after adjusting for potential confounders. After propensity score matching, the OR (95% CI) between log2-transformed ACR and PAD was 1.0 and 1.85 (1.05-3.23, p = 0.031) respectively in normal and high ACR levels in diabetes patients after adjusting for potential confounders. CONCLUSION The elevated urinary ACR level was associated with PAD in Chinese diabetes patients.

Front Nutr 2023; 10:1129978.

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

Abstract
Objective We aimed to investigate the association between the GNRI and the risk of stroke in elderly patients with hypertension. Methods A total of 5312 elderly hypertensive patients free of history of stroke were included. Multivariate Cox models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for stroke and its subtypes. Results The average time of follow-up was 3.8 years, and the median time was 3.2 years. We identified 640 individuals with stroke, of whom 526 had an ischemic stroke (IS) and 114 had a hemorrhagic stroke (HS). After adjusting for confounding variables, compared with participants in the lowest quartile of the GNRI, those in the third and fourth quartiles were associated with a decreased risk of stroke (adjusted HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.58-0.90, and adjusted HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.46-0.74, respectively, P for trend < 0.001). Similar results were found for IS and HS. Moreover, there were L-shaped associations of GNRI with new-onset HS (P for non-linearity = 0.034). Multiple sensitivity analyses and stratified analyses did not materially change the results. Conclusions In summary, we found that a lower GNRI was associated with a higher risk of incident stroke in elderly hypertensive patients. Additional prospective data collection is required to confirm our findings.

Abstract
AIM The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score and the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) reflect the immunonutritional status of patients. However, the associations of these two indices with cardiovascular disease (CVD) have not been characterized in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, the current study aimed to determine whether the CONUT score or PNI was associated with prior CVD in patients with CKD. METHODS A cross-sectional study of 2,751 patients with CKD who were not on dialysis was performed. The patients were grouped into tertiles (T1-T3) of PNI and placed into three groups following their CONUT score: low- (CONUT score, 0), mild- (CONUT score, 1-2), and moderate-to-high- (CONUT score, ≥ 3) risk groups. RESULTS Prior CVD was present in 655 (24%) of the participants. Multivariable logistic regression analyses, with adjustment for potential confounders, showed that high CONUT score was associated with prior CVD than the low score (mild-risk group: odds ratio [OR]=1.35, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.04-1.76; moderate-to-high-risk group: OR=1.66, 95% CI=1.19-2.30). In addition, the lower PNI tertiles were independently associated with prior CVD compared with T3 of PNI (T1: OR=1.45, 95% CI=1.09-1.92; T2: OR=1.32, 95% CI=1.01-1.72). CONCLUSIONS Both CONUT score and PNI were found to be independently associated with prior CVD in patients with CKD in the present cross-sectional study. A longitudinal study is needed to elucidate whether these two indices are associated with subsequent cardiovascular events.

Abstract
Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects more than 202 million people worldwide. Several studies have shown that patients with PAD are often undertreated, and that statin utilization is suboptimal. European and American guidelines highlight statins as the first-line lipid-lowering therapy to treat patients with PAD. Our objective with this meta-analysis was to further explore the impact of statins on lower extremities PAD endpoints and examine whether statin dose (high vs. low intensity) impacts outcomes. Patients and methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis according to the PRISMA guidelines. Any study that presented a comparison of use of statins vs. no statins for PAD patients or studies comparing high vs. low intensity statins were considered to be potentially eligible. We excluded studies with only critical limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients. The Medline (PubMed) database was searched up to January 31, 2021. A random effects meta-analysis was performed. Results: In total, 39 studies and 275,670 patients were included in this meta-analysis. In total, 136,025 (49.34%) patients were on statins vs. 139,645 (50.66%) who were not on statins. Statin use was associated with a reduction in all cause-mortality by 42% (HR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.49-0.67, p<0.01) and cardiovascular death by 43% (HR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.40-0.74, p<0.01). Statin use was associated with an increase in amputation-free survival by 56% (HR: 0.44, 95% CI: 0.30-0.58, p<0.01). The risk of amputation and loss of patency were reduced by 35% (HR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.41-0.89, p<0.01) and 46% (HR: 0.54, 95% CI: 0.34-0.74, p<0.01), respectively. Statin use was also associated with a reduction in the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) by 35% (HR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.51-0.80, p<0.01) and myocardial infarction rates by 41% (HR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.33-0.86, p<0.01). Among patients treated with statins, the high-intensity treatment group was associated with a reduction in all cause-mortality by 36% (HR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.54-0.74, p<0.01) compared to patients treated with low intensity statins. Conclusions: Statin treatment among patients with PAD was associated with a statistically significant reduction in all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, MACE, risk for amputation, or loss of patency. Higher statin dose seems to be associated with improved outcomes.

Abstract
Background Conflicting results have been reported on the value of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in predicting adverse outcomes in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the association of GNRI with adverse outcomes in patients with lower extremity PAD. Methods Relevant studies were comprehensively searched in PubMed and Embase databases until December 31, 2021. Eligible studies should evaluate the value of GNRI in predicting major adverse cardiovascular and leg events (MACLEs), all-cause mortality, and amputation in patients with lower extremity PAD. Results Eight studies reporting on 9 articles involving 5,541 patients were included. A fixed-effect model meta-analysis showed that patients with PAD with low GNRI had an increased risk of MACLEs [adjusted risk ratio (RR) 2.26; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.54–3.31] and all-cause mortality (RR 2.38; 95% CI 1.71–3.31) compared with those with high GNRI. When analysis of GNRI is by continuous data, 10 units of GNRI decrease was associated with 36% and 44% higher risk of MACLEs and all-cause mortality, respectively. However, per 10 units GNRI score decrease was not significantly associated with a higher risk of amputation (p = 0.051). Conclusion Low GNRI may be an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with lower extremity PAD. Routine screening of nutritional status using the GNRI may provide important prognostic information in patients with PAD.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to reveal the mortality risk by age in patients undergoing femoropopliteal endovascular therapy for intermittent claudication, in comparison to the national age-specific standard value. METHODS We analyzed 2056 patients undergoing endovascular therapy for moderate to severe intermittent claudication between 2010 and 2018, performed at five cardiovascular centers in Japan. The 3-year mortality risk by age was compared with the data from year- and sex-matched Japanese citizens, which were obtained from Japan's national life table data. Clinical characteristics associated with age in the study patients were also explored. RESULTS The mean age was 73±9 years. The 3-year mortality risk was increased with age in the patient population, from 6.4% for patients aged <65 years to 21.2% for those aged ≥ 85 years. On the contrary, its risk ratio relative to the matched citizens of the same age was decreased with age; the relative risk ratio was 3.08 for patients aged <65 years (P=0.001) and 0.60 for those aged ≥ 85 years (P=0.016). Current smoking, body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and dialysis dependence were inversely associated with age (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION Mortality risk increased with age, but the risk ratio relative to the matched citizens decreased with age. Younger patients had a higher mortality risk relative to the matched citizens, whereas patients aged ≥ 85 years had a lower mortality risk relative to the matched citizens. Younger patients were more likely to accumulate cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Wound, Ischemia, and foot Infection (WIfI) clinical stage has been thought to have a prognostic value in Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients, and frailty and nutritional status appear to represent pivotal factor affecting prognosis among CLTI patients. The purpose of this study was to examine clinical factors (including frailty and nutritional status) relevant to WIfI clinical stage. METHODS This retrospective study investigated 200 consecutive CLTI patients. We individually assessed WIfI clinical stage, frailty according to the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score, and malnutrition according to Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI). We then compared mortality after endovascular intervention between a WIfI stage 1, 2 group and a stage 3, 4 group, and investigated associations between baseline characteristics (including CFS and GNRI) and WIfI clinical stage. RESULTS Among 200 patients, 123 patients (62%) showed WIfI stage 1 or 2, and the remaining 77 patients (38%) had WIfI stage 3 or 4. CFS score was significantly higher in the WIfI stage 3, 4 group [median 6.0, interquartile range (IQR) 5.5-7.0] compared with the WIfI stage 1, 2 group (median 5.0, IQR 4.0-6.0, p < 0.001), and GNRI was significantly lower in the WIfI stage 3, 4 group (median 88, IQR 80-97) than in the WIfI stage 1, 2 (median 103, IQR 94-111, p < 0.001). Forty patients (20%) died after endovascular intervention. Incidences of all-cause and cardiac deaths were higher in the WIfI stage 3, 4 group than in the WIfI stage 1, 2 group (27% vs. 15%, p = 0.047 and 12% vs. 3%, p = 0.040, respectively). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significantly lower survival rate in the WIfI stage 3, 4 group than in the WIfI stage 1, 2 group (p = 0.002 by log-rank test). Multivariate logistic regression analysis using relevant factors from univariate analysis showed CFS score [odds ratio (OR) 2.06, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.41-3.13, p < 0.001), diabetes mellitus (OR 3.17, 95%CI 1.17-8.61, p = 0.023) and GNRI (OR 0.93, 95%CI 0.89-0.97, p = 0.002) significantly associated with WIfI stage 3 or 4. In addition, multivariate ordinal logistic regression analysis for WIfI clinical stage showed CFS score (OR 1.43, 95%CI 1.09-1.89, p = 0.011), diabetes mellitus (OR 1.77, 95%CI 1.26-2.54, p < 0.001), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (OR 1.14, 95%CI 1.02-1.28, p = 0.041) were positively associated with WIfI clinical stage, and GNRI correlated negatively with WIfI clinical stage (OR 0.95, 95%CI 0.91-0.97, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that CLTI patients with high WIfI clinical stage may be more frail and malnourished, and be associated with poor prognosis after endovascular intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition affects the prognosis of cardiovascular disease. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been a major cause of death around the world. Thus, we investigated the impact of malnutrition as defined by Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) on mortality in AMI patients. METHODS In 268 consecutive AMI patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), associations between all-cause death and baseline characteristics including malnutrition (GNRI < 92.0) and Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score were assessed. RESULTS Thirty-three patients died after PCI. Mortality was higher in the 51 malnourished patients than in the 217 non-malnourished patients, both within 1 month after PCI (p < 0.001) and beyond 1 month after PCI (p = 0.017). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression modelling using age, left ventricular ejection fraction and GRACE risk score showed malnutrition correlated significantly with all-cause death within 1 month after PCI (hazard ratio [HR] 7.04; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.30-21.51; p < 0.001) and beyond 1 month after PCI (HR 3.10; 95% CI 1.70-8.96; p = 0.037). There were no significant differences in area under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve between GRACE risk score and GNRI for predicting all-cause death within 1 month after PCI (0.90 vs. 0.81; p = 0.074) or beyond 1 month after PCI (0.69 vs. 0.71; p = 0.87). Calibration plots comparing actual and predicted mortality confirmed that GNRI (p = 0.006) was more predictive of outcome than GRACE risk score (p = 0.85) beyond 1 month after PCI. Furthermore, comparison of p-value for interaction of malnutrition and GRACE risk score for all-cause death within 1 month after PCI, beyond 1 month after PCI, and the full follow-up period after PCI were p = 0.62, p = 0.64 and p = 0.38, respectively. CONCLUSIONS GNRI may have a potential for predicting the mortality in AMI patients especially in beyond 1 month after PCI, separate from GRACE risk score. Assessment of nutritional status may help stratify the risk of AMI mortality.

Nutritional Risk Index Improves the GRACE Score Prediction of Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 8:773200. [PMID: 34977188 PMCID: PMC8716456 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.773200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2021] [Accepted: 11/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Malnutrition has been shown to be associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in many patient populations. Aims: To investigate the prognostic significance of malnutrition as defined by nutritional risk index (NRI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and whether NRI could improve the GRACE score based prognostic models. Methods: This study applied NRI among 1,718 patients with ACS undergoing PCI. Patients were divided into three nutritional risk groups according to their baseline NRI: no nutritional risk (NRI ≥ 100), mild nutritional risk (97.5 ≤ NRI <100), and moderate-to-severe nutritional risk (NRI <97.5). The primary endpoint was the composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including all-cause death, non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or unplanned repeat revascularization. Results: During a median follow-up of 927 days, 354 patients developed MACE. In the overall population, compared with normal nutritional status, malnutrition was associated with increased risk for MACE [adjusted HR for mild and moderate-to-severe nutritional risk, respectively: 1.368 (95%CI 1.004–1.871) and 1.473 (95%CI 1.064–2.041)], and NRI significantly improved the predictive ability of the GRACE score for MACE (cNRI: 0.070, P = 0.010; IDI: 0.005, P < 0.001). In the diabetes subgroup, malnutrition was associated with nearly 2-fold high adjusted risk of MACE, and the GRACE score combined with NRI appeared to have better predictive ability than that in the overall population. Conclusion: Malnutrition as defined by NRI was independently associated with MACE in ACS patients who underwent PCI, especially in individuals with diabetes, and improved the predictive ability of the GRACE score based prognostic models.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between microalbuminuria and long-term life expectancy or limb events in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed in 714 patients with PAD. The primary outcomes were cardiovascular or cerebrovascular death (CCVD) and all-cause death (AD), and secondary outcomes were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and cardiovascular and/or limb events (CVLE). Results: The 5, 10, and 15 year survival rates were 82.4%, 53.1%, and 33.0%, respectively. The prevalence of patients with increased microalbuminuria was 39.2%. Higher microalbuminuria, age, C-reactive protein (CRP), lower serum albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), ankle–brachial pressure index (ABI), diabetes, cerebral infarction, and coronary heart disease (CHD) were associated with CCVD; higher microalbuminuria, age, CRP, D-dimer, lower serum albumin, eGFR, and critical limb ischemia were related to AD; higher microalbuminuria, age, CRP, lower serum albumin, ABI, diabetes, and CHD were related to MACE; higher microalbuminuria, age, lower ABI, cerebral infarction, and CHD were related to CVLE in Cox multivariate analyses (p<0.05). Statins reduced CCVD, AD, MACE, and CVLE (p<0.001). Conclusion: Higher microalbuminuria was a significant predictor for CCVD, AD, MACE, and CVLE in PAD patients.

Abstract
Aim To investigate the relationship between malnutrition and follow-up cardiovascular (CV) events in non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).Material and methods A retrospective study was performed on 298 patients with NSTEMI. The baseline geriatric nutritionalrisk index (GNRI) was calculated at the first visit. The patients were divided into three groups accordingto the GNRI: >98, no-risk; 92 to ≤98, low risk; 82 to <92, moderate to high (MTH) risk. The studyendpoint was a composite of follow-up CV events, including all-cause mortality, non-valvular atrialfibrillation (NVAF), hospitalizations, and need for repeat percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Results Follow-up data showed that MTH risk group had significantly higher incidence of repeat PCI and all-cause mortality compared to other groups (p<0.001). However, follow-up hospitalizations and NVAFwere similar between groups (p>0.05). The mean GNRI was 84.6 in patients needing repeat PCI and99.8 in patients who did not require repeat PCI (p<0.001). Kaplan Meier survival analysis showed thatpatients with MTH risk had significantly poorer survival (p<0.001). According to multivariate Coxregression analysis, theMTH risk group (hazard ratio=5.372) was associated with increased mortality.Conclusion GNRI value may have a potential role for the prediction of repeat PCI in patients with NSTEMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is introduced as a predictor of the degree of ventricular dysfunction and is associated with mortality. There are limited reports on the relationship of BNP with long-term all-cause death (AD) and cardiovascular or limb events in peripheral artery disease (PAD). We examined the relationship between BNP level and these events in PAD patients. METHODS We performed a prospective cohort study in 938 PAD patients. The patients were divided into four groups based on BNP levels with median (interquartile range): Q1: ≤20.4; Q2: 20.5-42.8; Q3: 42.9-103.4; and Q4: ≥103.5 pg/mL. The endpoints were AD, freedom from major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and MACE plus limb events (MALE). RESULTS The median follow-up time was 65 months. There were 383 deaths (40.8%) during follow-up period. AD depended on BNP levels (p<0.01), with 5-year freedom from AD rates of Q1: 94%, Q2: 84%, Q3: 69%, and Q4: 55%. The Kaplan-Meier estimates of freedom from AD, MACE, and MALE had significant differences among Q1- Q4 groups (p< 0.001). In multiple regression analysis, BNP had significant negative correlations with eGFR, serum albumin, and BMI and positive correlations with diabetes (p<0.05). In Cox multivariate analysis, higher BNP, age, CRP, D-dimer, lower BMI, ABI, serum albumin, and eGFR were related to AD; and higher BNP, age, lower ABI, serum albumin, CAD, and DM were related to MACE and MALE (p<0.05). Statins improved AD, MACE, and MALE (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS BNP was a promising biomarker for AD, MACE, and MALE in patients with PAD.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations of baseline and longitudinal changes in leukocyte counts with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Methods: We conducted a prospective study to investigate the associations of baseline and 5-year changes in leukocyte counts with incident CVD and its subtypes in middle-aged and elderly Chinese. We estimated the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for CVD using the Cox proportional-hazards models.
Results: In the analyses of baseline total leukocyte count of 26,655 participants, compared with the lowest quartile (<4.71×109/L), participants in the fourth quartile (>6.70×109/L) had 11% higher risk for CVD. Consistent with total leukocyte count, neutrophil count also exhibited a significant positive association with the risk of CVD. In the analyses of 5-year changes in total leukocyte count of 11,594 participants, the changes in leukocyte count were categorized into three groups, i.e., the decreased group (<25%), stable group (25%–75%), and increased group (>75%). Compared with participants in the stable group (−1.18 to 0.44×109/L), participants in the increased group (>0.44×109/L) had 14% higher risk for CVD. We also observed significant positive associations of the changes in neutrophil and monocyte counts with the risk of CVD. Furthermore, the total leukocyte count in the second or third tertile at the first follow-up with a 5-year increase was related to higher CVD risk.
Conclusion: High baseline total leukocyte count and a 5-year increase in total leukocyte count were related to higher CVD risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to examine the effectiveness of a modified-short hydration gemcitabine and cisplatin (m-shGC) regimen for patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) and to assess the efficacy of a geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) with regard to prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 2016 to July 2020, 68 patients with mUC underwent first-line m-shGC therapy with 70 mg/m2 cisplatin and 1,000 mg/m2 gemcitabine (days 1, 8, and 15), with 2,050 mL fluid replaced on the first day of each 28-day cycle. Prior to the start of treatment, the serum neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and levels of albumin and C-reactive protein (CRP) in serum, as well as body heights and weights were measured. Patients were grouped according to GNRI <92 (low) or ≥92 (high). The analysis of data was done retrospectively. RESULTS Median follow-up was found to be 12.9 (range 1.7-50.2) months and the objective response rate (ORR) was 54.4% after m-shGC treatment. The ORR was significantly different when high and low-GNRI groups were compared (ORR: 28.0 vs. 69.8% in low- vs. high-GNRI groups). Median overall survival (OS) was calculated as 8.6 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.4-21.3) and 34.5 (95% CI: 20.5-NA) months for low- and high-GNRI groups, respectively (p < 0.0001). Unlike for NLR and CRP, univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that low GNRI and visceral metastases were significant prognostic factors for short OS. CONCLUSIONS First-line m-shGC showed a survival benefit for mUC, with GNRI a useful prognostic biomarker.

Abstract
Background We examined the association of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI)
with the incidence of hypertension. Methods We used data of the China Health and Nutrition Survey in this study.
Participants aged ≥60 years were eligible. The GNRI was defined as follows:
GNRI = [1.489 × albumin (ALB; g/L)] + [41.7 × (actual weight/ideal weight)].
Participants with systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, diastolic blood
pressure ≥90 mmHg, or use of antihypertensive medication were defined as
having hypertension. Results This study included 4853 participants, comprising 3612 control participants
and 1241 participants with hypertension. The GNRI, ALB, and body mass index
(BMI) were significantly associated with higher incidence of hypertension
(HR: 1.030, 1.026, and 1.088; 95% CI: 1.020–1.041, 1.008–1.044, and
1.069–1.107, respectively). The GNRI, ALB, and BMI were associated with an
earlier age of hypertension onset (β = −0.403, −0.613, and −0.321; 95% CI:
−0.493 to −0.314, −0.767 to −0.459, and −0.484 to −0.159, respectively). Conclusions A higher GNRI was associated with increased incidence of hypertension. An
elevated GNRI was associated with earlier age of hypertension onset.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between preoperative nutritional status and wound healing in patients undergoing surgical reconstruction for ischemic tissue loss. METHODS The preoperative nutritional status of patients who underwent surgical reconstruction for ischemic tissue loss for the years 2011-2018 was retrospectively estimated using the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score. Patients were allocated to two groups: Group I, normal nutrition or mild malnutrition (CONUT score ≤4), and Group II, moderate-to-severe malnutrition (CONUT score ≥5). Wound healing was set as the primary endpoint and major amputation and death as the secondary endpoints. The wound healing, limb salvage, and overall survival rates were calculated after two years using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed to determine which variables were independently associated with these outcomes. RESULTS Forty-eight patients with missing values for the CONUT score were excluded. A total of 174 limbs in 147 patients were studied (Group I: 115 limbs in 100 patients; Group II: 59 limbs in 47 patients). The mean duration of the study was 519 ± 270 days. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that wound healing in Group I was superior to that in Group II (Group I vs. II: two-year wound healing, 97% vs. 79%; time to 50% wound healing, 83 vs. 150 days, p < 0.001), and multivariate analysis showed that the CONUT score was an independent predictor of wound healing (hazard ratio, 0.63; 95% confidence interval, 0.41-0.98; p = 0.038). CONCLUSIONS Patients with better preoperative nutritional status are more likely to experience wound healing earlier than those with excessive malnutrition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is associated with poor prognosis in a wide range of chronic illnesses, however, the impact of malnutrition on long-term outcomes of patients at advanced stages of atherosclerosis, coronary chronic artery occlusion (CTO), is not known. AIMS This study aims to investigate the relationship between malnutrition and adverse cardiovascular events in patients with CTO after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS Baseline malnutrition risk was determined in 669 patients with CTO after PCI in this study. All patients were divided into 3 groups according to 3 categories of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI): moderate to severe, GNRI of <92 (n = 70); low, GNRI of 92-98 (n = 197); and absence of risk, GNRI of ≥98 (n = 402). The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality and the secondary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). RESULTS Average age in this study was 65.32 ± 9.97 years old. More than one-third of patients were at risk of malnutrition (moderate to severe: 10.5%; low: 29.4%; and absence of risk: 60.1%). Over a median follow-up of 33 months, compared to those with absent risk for malnutrition, moderate to severe risk was associated with significantly increased risk for the all-cause death, cardiovascular death and MACE (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.90, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.43 to 5.87, P for trend = 0.002; HR: 3.72, 95% CI: 1.42 to 9.77, P for trend = 0.010; HR: 1.76, 95% CI: 1.02 to 3.03, P for trend = 0.040; respectively) after adjustment for baseline variables. Moreover, addition of the GNRI score significantly raised the predictive value for the all-cause death (0.383, p = 0.004 and 0.022, p = 0.011, NRI and IDI respectively), cardiovascular death (0.488, p < 0.001 and 0.013, p = 0.014, NRI and IDI respectively) and MACE (0.368, p = 0.004 and 0.014, p = 0.008, NRI and IDI respectively) as compared to traditional factors. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition assessed by the GNRI score on admission was an independent predictor for adverse cardiovascular events in CTO patients after PCI. Addition of the GNRI score to the existing risk prediction model significantly increased the predictive ability for cardiovascular events in CTO patients after PCI.

Abstract
Aim:
This study aimed to demonstrate the clinical impact of various frailty-related aspects in poor-risk patients undergoing revascularization for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).
Methods:
We analyzed a clinical database of a prospective multicenter observational study. A total of 562 CLTI patients who required assistance for their daily lives and were candidates for revascularization were included. We examined various measures of frailty severity, including activities of daily living (ADL)/mobility, physical performance, nutritional status, cognitive function, and cardiac function at baseline (before revascularization). Data on inflammatory markers at baseline and ADL/mobility before CLTI onset were also collected.
Results:
The patients were aged 77±10 years, 65% were non-ambulatory, and 38% were categorized as mild dementia or severer. The correlation coefficients between the frailty measures ranged from 0.00 to 0.91. The random forest analysis for one-year mortality risk showed that these frailty-related measures, as well as age and inflammatory markers, had a relatively high variable importance compared with comorbidities and limb severity.
Conclusion:
The correlations between measures of frailty severity were not always strong but rather widely varied in CLTI patients who required assistance for their daily lives and were candidates for revascularization. Measures of frailty severity, as well as age and inflammatory markers, had a relatively large predictive impact on one-year mortality risk compared with comorbidities and limb severity in the population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identification of malnutrition is especially important in severely injured patients, in whom hypermetabolism and protein catabolism following traumatic injury worsen their nutritional condition. The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), based on serum albumin level and the current body weight/ideal body weight ratio, is useful for identifying patients with malnutrition in many clinical conditions. This study aimed to explore the association between admission GNRI and mortality outcomes of adult patients with polytrauma. METHODS From 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2019, a total of 348 adult patients with polytrauma, registered in the trauma database of a level I trauma center, were recognized and categorized into groups of death (n = 71) or survival (n = 277) and into four nutritional risk groups: a high-risk group (GNRI < 82, n = 87), a moderate-risk group (GNRI 82 to <92, n = 144), a low-risk group (GNRI 92-98, n = 59), and a no-risk group (GNRI > 98, n = 58). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the independent risk factors for mortality. The mortality outcomes of patients at various nutritional risks were compared to those of patients in the no-risk group. RESULTS The comparison between the death group (n = 71) and the survival group (n = 277) revealed that there was no significant difference in gender predominance, age, pre-existing comorbidities, injury mechanism, systolic blood pressure, and respiratory rate upon arrival at the emergency room. A significantly lower GNRI and Glasgow Coma Scale score but higher injury severity score (ISS) was observed in the death group than in the survival group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), odds ratio (OR), 0.88; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.83-0.95; p < 0.001), ISS (OR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.04-1.11; p < 0.001), and GNRI (OR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.91-0.97; p < 0.001) were significant independent risk factors for mortality in these patients. The mortality rates for the high-risk, moderate-risk, low-risk, and no-risk groups were 34.5%, 20.1%, 8.5%, and 12.1%, respectively. Unlike patients in the moderate-risk and low-risk groups, patients in the high-risk group had a significantly higher death rate than that of those in the no-risk group. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that the GNRI may serve as a simple, promising screening tool to identify the high risk of malnutrition for mortality in adult patients with polytrauma.

Abstract
Aim:
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of evolocumab on favorable limb events in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).
Methods:
A single-center, prospective observational study was performed on 30 patients with CLTI. The subjects were divided into 2 groups based on evolocumab administration: evolocumab-treated (E) group (
n
=14) and evolocumab non-treated (non-E) group (
n
=16). The primary outcome was 12-month freedom from major amputation. The secondary outcomes were 12-month amputation-free survival (AFS), overall survival (OS), and wound-free limb salvage. The mean follow-up period was 18±11 months.
Results:
No significant difference was detected between the two groups for the 12-month freedom from major amputation (log-rank
p
=0.15), while the 12-month AFS rate was significantly higher in the E group than that in the non-E group (log-rank
p
=0.02). The 12-month OS rate in the E group was shown a tendency for improvement, as compared with that in the non-E group (log-rank
p
=0.056). Evolocumab administration was not associated with a significant change in freedom from major amputation (HR, 0.23, 95% CI, 0.03-2.07,
p
=0.19). However, evolocumab administration was related to a tendency for improvement of AFS and OS (HR, 0.13, 95% CI, 0.02-1.06,
p
=0.056; HR, 0.16, 95% CI, 0.02-1.37,
p
=0.09, respectively). Moreover, The E group had a higher proportion of wound-free limb salvage at 12 months (92% vs. 42%,
p
=0.03).
Conclusion:
Evolocumab administration was associated with a better AFS outcome in patients with CLTI. Long-term administration of evolocumab over 12 months contributed to improving proportion of wound-free limb salvage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS It is recognized that malnutrition increases risk of worse prognosis in patients with various diseases. The present study investigated if poor nutritional status predicts adverse outcomes in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS The study enrolled 2299 patients (mean age: 60.01 ± 8.95 years; 71.8% male) with NSTE-ACS who underwent PCI at Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January to December 2015. The entire cohort was divided into training set (n = 1519) and testing set (n = 780) at a ratio of approximate 2 : 1. Nutritional status was assessed by geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI). The primary endpoint was a composite of adverse events as follows: all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and any revascularization. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that GNRI significantly associated with primary endpoint, independent of other risk factors [hazard ratio (HR) 1.159 per 1-point decrease of GNRI, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.130-1.189, p < 0.001]. The addition of GNRI to a baseline model had an incremental effect on the predictive value for adverse prognosis in training set [AUC: from 0.821 to 0.873, p < 0.001; category-free net reclassification improvement (NRI): 0.313, p < 0.001; integrated discrimination improvement (IDI): 0.108, p < 0.001]. The incremental effect of GNRI was further validated and confirmed in testing set. CONCLUSION Lower GNRI is a significant predictor of adverse prognosis in patients with NSTE-ACS undergoing PCI. Further studies need to be performed to determine whether nutritional interventions have a positive impact on improving clinical prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the prognostic efficacy of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in second-line pembrolizumab (PEM) therapy for patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 2018 to October 2019, 52 mUC patients, treated previously with platinum-based chemotherapy, underwent second-line PEM therapy. Peripheral blood parameters were measured at the start of treatment: serum neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), serum albumin, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), and body height and weight. PEM was intravenously administered (200 mg every 3 weeks). The patients were organized into two groups based on their GNRI (<92 [low GNRI] and ≥92 [high GNRI]), and the data were retrospectively analyzed. Adverse events (AEs) were evaluated and imaging studies assessed for all patients. Analyses of survival and recurrence were performed using Kaplan-Meier curves. Potential prognostic factors affecting cancer-specific survival (CSS) were assessed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. RESULTS patients' baseline characteristics, except for their BMI and objective response rate, did not significantly differ between the two groups. The median total number of cycles of PEM therapy was significantly higher for the high-GNRI group (n [range]: 6 [2-20] vs. 3 [1-6]). The median CSS with second-line PEM therapy was 3.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.5-6.1) and 11.8 months (95% CI: 6.2-NA) in the low-GNRI and the high-GNRI group (p < 0.01), respectively. Significant differences in CSS between the low- and high-CRP or -NRL groups were not found. Multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis revealed that a poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, visceral metastasis, and a low GNRI were significant prognostic factors for short CSS (95% CI: 1.62-6.10, HR: 3.14; 95% CI: 1.13-8.11, HR: 3.03; 95% CI: 1.32-8.02, HR: 3.25, respectively). Of the AEs, fatigue showed a significantly higher incidence in the low-GNRI group. CONCLUSIONS For mUC patients receiving second-line PEM therapy, the GNRI is a useful predictive biomarker for survival outcome.

Abstract
Aim: Recent studies suggested that past history of obesity or maximum body mass index (BMI) in the past was a strong prognostic predictor in a general population. The current study aimed to survey the distribution of current and maximum BMIs and to investigate their prognostic impact in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI), whose prognosis was poor even after revascularization. Methods: We analyzed a database of a prospective, multicenter registry in Japan, including 499 CLI patients undergoing revascularization. Their current and maximum BMIs were surveyed at registration. The distribution and the impact on the prognosis were explored. Results: The estimated means (95% confidence intervals) of current and maximum BMIs were respectively 22.0 (21.7 to 22.3) and 25.3 (24.8 to 25.8) kg/m2; the difference was 3.3 (2.9 to 3.7) kg/m2. The prevalence of current obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) was 18% (15% to 22%), whereas 48% (43% to 53%) had ever been obese (maximum BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). Past obesity was not rare even in currently lean subjects (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), with the prevalence of 18% (7% to 29%). Current BMI, but not maximum BMI, was associated with the mortality risk; the adjusted hazard ratios per 5 kg/m2 increase were 0.61 [0.46, 0.81] (P = 0.001) and 1.07 [0.87, 1.31] (P = 0.55), respectively. Conclusion: The prevalence of current obesity was as low as 18% (15% to 22%) in Japanese CLI patients undergoing revascularization, whereas about a half were formerly obese. Maximum BMI was not independently associated with the mortality risk in the population.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the current study is to describe the presentation pattern of symptomatic peripheral artery disease undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT) in comparison to symptomatic coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) based on data from nationwide databases. METHODS Data were extracted from the nationwide procedural databases of EVT and PCI in Japan (J-EVT and J-PCI) between 2012 and 2017. The presentation pattern was investigated using a Poisson regression model, including the month, seasonality, and weekend (versus weekday) as the explanatory variables. Seasonality was expressed as a cosine function of a 12-month period, and its significance was evaluated using the Fisher-Yates shuffle method. RESULTS A total of 41,906 and 62,585 cases underwent EVT for critical limb ischemia (CLI) and intermittent claudication (IC), respectively, whereas 518,858 and 504,139 cases underwent PCI for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and stable angina (SA). The procedural volume increased by 21.6%, 12.3%, 4.5%, and 3.6% per year in CLI, IC, ACS, and SA. CLI and ACS, but not IC or SA, showed a significant volume seasonality. Compared with ACS, CLI demonstrated a larger peak-to-trough ratio of seasonality (1.75 versus 1.21; P<0.001), and a later peak appearance (February-March versus January-February by 1.37 months; P<0.001). The procedural volume on weekends relative to weekdays was smaller for SA, IC, and CLI than for ACS. These distinct features were observed in a diabetic population and a non-diabetic population. CONCLUSIONS The current study analyzed nationwide procedural databases and demonstrated the presentation pattern of symptomatic PAD and CAD warranting revascularization.

Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index Predicts Adverse Outcomes in Human Malignancy: A Meta-Analysis. DISEASE MARKERS 2019; 2019:4796598. [PMID: 31827634 PMCID: PMC6885788 DOI: 10.1155/2019/4796598] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2019] [Accepted: 09/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Background Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) has been widely used to assess the nutritional status in a variety of human pathological conditions, but the prognostic value of the GNRI in malignancies has not been evinced. Methods Relevant studies updated on Jul 27, 2019, were retrieved in available databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, Chinese CNKI, and Chinese Wan-fang. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted and pooled by using STATA 14. Results A total of 15 studies involving 8,046 subjects were included in this meta-analysis. Meta-analysis results evinced that low GNRI was associated with poor OS (HR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.49-2.56, p ≤ 0.001), poor CSS (HR = 1.81, 95% CI: 1.49-2.19, p ≤ 0.001), poor DFS (HR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.28-2.17, p ≤ 0.001), and poor PFS (HR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.28-2.21, p ≤ 0.001), and the correlation of GNRI with OS was not changed when stratified by possible confounding factors, suggesting that malignancy patients with low GNRI would suffer from reduced survival rate and increased recurrence rate. Moreover, low GNRI was also associated with postoperative complications in malignancies. Conclusions In summary, GNRI is associated poor prognosis in human malignancies, and GNRI should be used as a predictive indicator of adverse outcomes during malignancy treatment.

Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index Is Associated with Unique Health Conditions and Clinical Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11112769. [PMID: 31739530 PMCID: PMC6893606 DOI: 10.3390/nu11112769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2019] [Revised: 11/02/2019] [Accepted: 11/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Malnutrition is prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, current nutrition screening tools are not specific to the CKD population. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), a simple tool designed for assessing nutrition-related risks in the elderly population, is associated with unique aspects of CKD such as fluid status, residual renal function, proteinuria, and inflammation, and whether it predicts clinical outcomes. The GNRI was calculated by incorporating serum albumin and anthropometric measurements in 326 patients with nondialysis stage 3–5 CKD who were followed up from September 2011 to March 2017 for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and the composite outcome of all-cause death and cardiovascular events. Patients were stratified into tertiles according to baseline GNRI levels. Patients in the lowest GNRI tertile were more likely to have significantly higher levels of overhydration, proteinuria, and serum inflammatory markers and tended to have lower lean body mass and estimated glomerular filtration rate when compared with patients in the middle and upper GNRI tertiles. In multivariate linear regression analyses, the GNRI was independently associated with overhydration, proteinuria, and interleukin-6. During a median follow-up of 4.9 years, 101 patients developed ESRD; 40 deaths, and 68 cardiovascular events occurred. Patients in the lowest GNRI tertile had significantly increased risks of ESRD (hazard ratio (HR): 3.15, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.95–5.07, p < 0.001) and the composite outcome (HR: 1.79, 95% CI: 1.10–2.92, p = 0.019) in fully adjusted models (reference: middle and upper GNRI tertiles). The GNRI takes CKD-specific health conditions into account. In addition, CKD patients with lower GNRI scores had a significantly higher risk of adverse clinical outcomes. Our findings suggest that the GNRI is an appropriate tool for nutrition screening and a prognostic predictor among patients with nondialysis stage 3–5 CKD.
