Does the Prognostic nutritional index predict postoperative complications and 2-year mortality in hip fracture patients?

PNI is an independent predictor of postoperative complications and 2-year all-cause mortality in hip fracture patients. PNI can be used to identify patients who may be at high risk of a poor prognosis.
