Overview

Systematic review links nutritional risk scores to higher mortality and worse outcomes in stroke patients, suggesting the need for nutritional screening.

Key Points

  • Malnutrition identified by NRS-2002, CONUT, and GNRI predicts increased mortality and poor functional recovery in stroke patients.
  • NRS-2002 ≥3 and CONUT ≥5 significantly correlate with higher odds ratios for mortality, with ORs of 4.13 and 3.57, respectively.
  • Data from 11 observational studies involving 7,696 participants were analyzed using systematic review and meta-analysis methodologies.
  • Incorporating nutritional screening into stroke care could lead to early interventions that significantly improve patient outcomes.
