Key Points

Malnutrition assessment using GNRI predicts adverse postoperative outcomes in DCM surgery patients, highlighting its relevance.
Increased nutritional risk correlates with poor outcomes; for instance, the GNRI IV group had an odds ratio of 14.033 for postoperative mortality.
The analysis involved 7142 patients from the NSQIP database, assessing both demographic characteristics and surgical outcomes.
GNRI serves as an independent predictor for mortality, readmission, and complications after cervical decompression or fusion surgeries.
