Why the study?
The prognostic value of nutritional markers including albumin, body mass index, and geriatric nutritional risk index for long-term mortality in patients undergoing EVAR for AAA required evaluation.
Does low nutritional status (assessed by albumin, BMI, or GNRI) predict long-term mortality in patients undergoing elective EVAR for AAA?
Does low nutritional status (assessed by albumin, BMI, or GNRI) predict long-term mortality in patients undergoing elective EVAR for AAA?
Malnutrition, particularly as assessed by the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), is a strong independent predictor of long-term mortality in patients undergoing endovascular aortic repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms.
GNRI may aid mortality risk stratification after elective EVAR; leaves open whether nutritional intervention improves outcomes.
Objective: The relationship between nutritional status and morbidity and death in a number of diseases and disorders has garnered considerable attension. In patients having endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), we assessed the prognostic value of nutritional markers of albumin (ALB), body mass index (BMI), and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) for long-term mortality.
