Key result
Malnutrition affects ~21% of HFrEF outpatients and is linked to older age and worse functional class.
Why the study?
Malnutrition is common in HFrEF and may negatively affect prognosis, but its prevalence, associated clinical factors, and impact on clinical outcomes require evaluation in outpatients.
Does malnutrition impact mortality and clinical outcomes at 6 months in outpatients with HFrEF?
Cohort (n=118)
No
Does malnutrition impact mortality and clinical outcomes at 6 months in outpatients with HFrEF?
This study evaluates the prevalence and 6-month prognostic impact of malnutrition in outpatients with HFrEF.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Malnutrition assessment in HFrEF outpatients should not yet change practice; hypothesis-generating for prognostic role and intervention trials.

Gondo et al. (2025) conducted a cohort in Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) (n=118). Malnutrition vs. Normal nutritional status was evaluated on Prevalence of malnutrition. Malnutrition was present in 21.2% of outpatients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and was associated with older age, worse functional class, and a trend toward higher 6-month mortality.
