Why the study?
Is a low Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) associated with mortality in elderly patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure?
Is a low Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) associated with mortality in elderly patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure?
Low Prognostic Nutritional Index values serve as a prognostic marker for short- and long-term mortality in elderly patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
Supports PNI for prognostication in elderly ADHF; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective validation before guiding care.
Low PNI values are associated with short-term and long-term mortality among elderly patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure. Future studies are warranted to confirm these findings and evaluate the use of PNI to guide therapeutic decisions.
