The Significance of an Initial Controlling Nutritional Status Score in Predicting the Functional Outcome, Complications, and Mortality in a First-Ever Ischemic Stroke

Q: What are the key findings of this study?

A high Controlling Nutritional Status score (5-12) at admission was significantly associated with poorer functional recovery (p<0.05) and lower survival (p<0.01) at 6 months post-stroke.

Q: What is the clinical evidence from this study?

Study design: Cohort. Population: first-ever acute ischemic stroke (n=938). Intervention: Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score 5-12 vs. CONUT score 0-4. Primary outcome: Functional outcomes (mRS, FIM, FAC) and mortality (p=<0.05).

Does the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score at admission predict functional recovery, complications, and mortality in patients with a first-ever ischemic stroke?

Population

938 patients experiencing their first acute ischemic stroke, categorized by CONUT score at admission and followed for six months.

Exposure

High Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score at admission (CONUT 5-12)

Comparator

Lower CONUT scores at admission (CONUT 0-1 and CONUT 2-4)

Outcome

Functional outcomes (Modified Rankin Scale [mRS], Functional Independence Measurement [FIM], Functional Ambulatory Classification [FAC]) and mortality at 3 and 6 months post-strokehard clinical

Main Result

p-value: p=<0.05

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

A higher CONUT score at admission is a significant predictor of poorer functional recovery, increased hospital complications, and higher mortality in patients with a first-ever ischemic stroke.

Choi et al. (2024) conducted a cohort in first-ever acute ischemic stroke (n=938). Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score 5-12 vs. CONUT score 0-4 was evaluated on Functional outcomes (mRS, FIM, FAC) and mortality (p=<0.05). A high Controlling Nutritional Status score (5-12) at admission was significantly associated with poorer functional recovery (p<0.05) and lower survival (p<0.01) at 6 months post-stroke.
