Why the study?

The association between objective nutritional indexes and prognosis in patients with acute heart failure has not been well studied.

Do objective nutritional indexes predict in-hospital mortality in elderly patients with acute heart failure?

Population

628 elderly patients (aged ≥65 years) hospitalized with acute heart failure

Comparison

Modified Glasgow prognostic score vs prognostic nutritional index vs controlling nutritional status score vs geriatric nutritional risk index

Design

Retrospective cohort study

Overview

Suggests the geriatric nutritional risk index may help stratify short-term mortality risk.

Structured PICO

Do objective nutritional indexes predict in-hospital mortality in elderly patients with acute heart failure?

P
Population
628 consecutive elderly patients (aged ≥65 years) hospitalized due to acute heart failure, who had tests for C-reactive protein, total lymphocyte count, total cholesterol, and albumin levels at admission.
I
Intervention
Objective nutritional indexes (modified Glasgow prognostic score, prognostic nutritional index, controlling nutritional status score, and geriatric nutritional risk index)
C
Comparator
Base model including age, gender, log N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, and the presence of coronary artery disease
O
Outcome
In-hospital mortalityhard clinical

The geriatric nutritional risk index is superior to other objective nutritional indexes in predicting in-hospital mortality among elderly patients with acute heart failure.
