Abstract
BACKGROUND The measurement of triceps skinfold (TSF) thickness serves as a noninvasive metric for evaluating subcutaneous fat distribution. Despite its clinical utility, the TSF thickness trajectories and their correlation with overall mortality have not been thoroughly investigated.
AIM To explore TSF thickness trajectories of Chinese adults and to examine their associations with all-cause mortality.
METHODS This study encompassed a cohort of 14747 adults sourced from the China Health and Nutrition Survey. Latent class trajectory modeling was employed to identify distinct trajectories of TSF thickness. Subjects were classified into subgroups reflective of their respective TSF thickness trajectory. We utilized multivariate Cox regression analyses and mediation examinations to explore the link between TSF thickness trajectory and overall mortality, including contributory factors.
RESULTS Upon adjustment for multiple confounding factors, we discerned that males in the ‘Class 2: Thin–stable’ and ‘Class 3: Thin–moderate’ TSF thickness trajectories exhibited a markedly reduced risk of mortality from all causes in comparison to the ‘Class 1: Extremely thin’ subgroup. In the mediation analyses, the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index was found to be a partial intermediary in the relationship between TSF thickness trajectories and mortality. For females, a lower TSF thickness pattern was significantly predictive of elevated all-cause mortality risk exclusively within the non-elderly cohort.
CONCLUSION In males and non-elderly females, lower TSF thickness trajectories are significantly predictive of heightened mortality risk, independent of single-point TSF thickness, body mass index, and waist circumference.

Abstract
Malnutrition is reportedly associated with adverse clinical outcomes in various populations. However, associations between nutritional status and adverse outcomes in patients with hypertension have not been sufficiently elucidated. We therefore aimed to investigate the impact of nutritional status as evaluated by the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) on adverse outcomes in patients with hypertension. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 1588 hypertensive patients enrolled in the Fukushima Cohort Study. Participants were categorized into tertiles (T1-T3) according to GNRI at baseline. The primary endpoint of the present study was a kidney event, defined as a combination of a 50% decline in eGFR from baseline and end-stage kidney disease requiring kidney replacement therapy. Associations between GNRI and kidney events were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Median age was 64 years, 55% were men, median eGFR was 63.1 mL/min/1.73 m2, and median GNRI was 101.3. The lower GNRI group (T1) showed an increased incidence of kidney events in the Kaplan-Meier curve analysis. Compared to the highest GNRI group (T3), lower GNRI carried a higher risk of kidney events for both T2 (hazard ratio [HR] 1.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.71-2.68) and T1 (HR 3.59, 95%CI 1.96-6.63). Similar relationships were observed for risks of all-cause death and cardiovascular events. Lower GNRI was associated with kidney events, all-cause death, and cardiovascular events in patients with hypertension. Nutritional status as evaluated by GNRI could offer a simple and useful predictor of adverse outcomes in this population.

Abstract
AIM To examine whether a high nutritional risk status, assessed via the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), is independently associated with postoperative health outcomes, including unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, infectious complications, and prolonged length of stay in older patients undergoing spine surgery. METHODS We conducted a retrospective descriptive study analyzing electronic health records from a tertiary hospital, including data from 1,014 patients aged ≥70 undergoing elective spine surgery between February 2013 and March 2023. RESULTS High nutritional risk patients had significantly higher odds of unplanned ICU admission, infectious complications, and prolonged length of stay compared to low-risk patients. For each one-point increase in GNRI, there was a significant 0.91- and 0.95-fold decrease in the odds of unplanned ICU admission and infectious complications, respectively. CONCLUSION GNRI screening in older patients before spine surgery may have potential to identify those at elevated risk for postoperative adverse outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is not uncommon among the elderly undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and is related to increased complications. Previous studies have shown that the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) predicts outcomes in various populations. Nevertheless, the research exploring the correlation between GNRI and postoperative outcomes in PD is scarce. This study aimed to investigate the preoperative malnutrition, as measured by GNRI, on outcomes in elderly patients undergoing PD. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective analysis enrolled 144 elderly patients underwent PD for periampullary tumors from November 2016 to December 2021. Patients were stratified based on the GNRI value: high/moderate nutrition risk (GNRI ≤ 92, N = 54), low nutrition risk (92 < GNRI ≤ 98, N = 35), and no nutrition risk (GNRI > 98, N = 55). Perioperative outcomes and postoperative surgical complications were compared between these groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed on major postoperative complications and prolonged postoperative length of stay (PLOS). RESULTS Patients in the high/moderate risk group were significantly older, with lower BMI (P = 0.012), higher mortality rate (11.1%, P = 0.024), longer PLOS (P < 0.001), and higher incidence of over grade IIIB complications (37.0%, P = 0.001), Univariate and multivariate analyses showed the high/moderate risk GNRI group (OR 3.61, P = 0.032), increased age (OR 1.11, P = 0.014) and operative time over 8 h (OR 3.04, P = 0.027) were significantly associated with increased major postoperative complications. The high/moderate risk GNRI group was also a significant predictor for prolonged PLOS (OR 3.91, P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative GNRI has the potential to be a predictive tool for identifying high-risk elderly patients and monitoring nutritional status preoperatively to improve postoperative surgical outcomes following PD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index is a simple nutritional screening method, and this study aimed to investigate the association between the initial Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index and all-cause mortality in incident patients in the first year after the initiation of hemodialysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study is a retrospective cohort study and used the Korean Renal Data System database. Patients who were eligible for Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index assessment and underwent hemodialysis from January 2016 to December 2019 were included. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, and outcome evaluation was performed in December 2020. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze the association between the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index and mortality. RESULTS A total of 10,545 patients were included, and the mean age was 63.9 ± 3.7 years. The patients were divided into four groups by the quartile of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index with a mean value of 96.2 ± 8.2. During the study period, 545 (5.2%) deaths occurred. The surviving patients had higher Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index values than ones who died in the first year of hemodialysis initiation (96.6 ± 7.5 vs. 88.2 ± 9.3, p < 0.001). Quartile 1 (Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index < 91.8) showed a significantly increased risk of all-cause (Hazard Ratio: 2.56; 95% Confidence Interval: 2.13-3.09; p < 0.001) and cardiovascular mortality (Hazard Ratio: 22.29; 95% Confidence Interval: 1.71- 3.08; p < 0.001) at the first year in comparison with Quartile 4 (Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index ≥ 101.3). In areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curves of all-cause mortality, the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index model improved predictive values, compared to the baseline model. The area with the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index model was significantly higher than the one with a model including albumin or body mass index (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that a low Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (<91.8) is associated with first-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients who start hemodialysis and may be a useful and reproducible tool for assessing prognoses in this population.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Systemic Immune-inflammatory Index (SII) and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) have undergone comprehensive examination and validation in forecasting the outcomes of diverse medical conditions. Nevertheless, the correlation between the combined use of GNRI and SII metrics and hip fractures has yet to be elucidated. This study aimed to determine whether the amalgamation of SII and GNRI scores constitutes an independent prognostic factor for elderly patients with hip fractures. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of elderly patients admitted to our facility with hip fractures, encompassing both femoral neck and intertrochanteric fractures. Demographic information, experimental parameters, and postoperative complications were systematically recorded. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and Systemic Immunoinflammatory Index (SII) were meticulously computed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated, and optimal cutoff values for each parameter were determined. Subsequently, a multivariate Cox regression analysis was employed to assess the predictive utility of the SII-GNRI score in relation to 1-year postoperative mortality among elderly patients with hip fractures. RESULTS In a study involving 597 patients, 90 of whom experienced mortality within 1 year, it was observed that the SII-GNRI score in the group of patients who passed away was significantly higher compared to the group that survived. Following a multifactorial adjustment, it was established that a high SII-GNRI score served as an independent predictor of 1-year all-cause mortality in older patients with hip fractures. In addition to the SII-GNRI score, factors such as length of hospital stay, CCI > 2, and blood transfusion were also identified as independent risk factors for survival. Notably, the incidence of postoperative complications in patients with high SII-GNRI scores was significantly greater than in patients with low scores. CONCLUSION The SII-GNRI score proves valuable in predicting the 1-year survival rate for elderly patients with hip fractures who have undergone surgery.

Abstract
AIM Patients with malignant tumors are prone to develop nutritional disorders. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a new prognostic indicator for assessing the nutritional status. This study was performed to evaluate whether the preoperative GNRI can serve as a prognostic factor in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) undergoing curative surgery. METHODS This study included 123 consecutive patients with ICC who were treated with curative surgery. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to calculate the recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS), and Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate prognostic factors. RESULTS Of the 123 patients, 82 were male and 41 were female. The median age of the patients was 70 years, and the median follow-up period was 37.0 months (interquartile range, 16.2-71.7 months). The patients were classified by the median GNRI into a low GNRI group (GNRI < 105) and high GNRI group (GNRI ≥ 105). The patients in the low GNRI group had a significantly poorer prognosis in terms of RFS and OS than the patients in the high GNRI group (RFS, p = 0.0201; OS, p < 0.0001). Lymph node metastasis [hazard ratio (HR), 4.66; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.46-8.85], postoperative complications (HR, 2.38; 95% CI, 1.32-4.31), and a low GNRI (HR, 2.53; 95% CI, 1.42-4.50) were independent poor prognostic factors for OS. CONCLUSION The GNRI may be a useful prognostic indicator in patients with ICC undergoing curative hepatectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Compared to conventional cytotoxic anticancer agent-based therapy, treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) significantly prolongs overall survival. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) has been used as a new prognostic indicator in cancer. As nutritional status is associated with prognosis and indicates treatment response, we investigated the effect of the pretreatment GNRI on the (1) occurrence of ICI-induced immune-related adverse events (ir-AE) and (2) association with time to treatment failure (TTF) in ICI monotherapy for lung cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this study, 127 patients with lung cancer who were treated with ICI monotherapy were retrospectively enrolled. Based on a cutoff value of 92 for the GNRI, we investigated intergroup differences in the occurrence of adverse events and their association with TTF in the High-GNRI (≥92) and Low-GNRI (<92) groups. For intergroup comparisons, we used the Student's t-test, Welch's t-test, Fisher's direct probability test, and Mann-Whitney's U-test, and factors with p<0.05 in the intergroup comparison were extracted as explanatory variables. RESULTS Based on the pretreatment GNRI, the median TTF was 5.1 months (95%CI=2.4-7.9 months) in the High-GNRI group and 2.3 months (95%CI=1.6-3.1 months) in the Low-GNRI group, with the High-GNRI group having a significantly longer TTF (p<0.01). The incidence of skin rash (p=0.0129) and pruritus (p<0.01) was significantly higher in the High-GNRI group. CONCLUSION Pretreatment GNRI influences the continuation of ICI monotherapy. The High-GNRI group demonstrated a significantly higher frequency of skin lesions, which may have influenced the prolongation of TTF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM We evaluated the clinical impact of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in patients who received curative treatment and perioperative adjuvant treatment. We also investigated the association between the GNRI and the clinicopathological features of patients with GC. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included 280 patients who underwent curative treatment for GC between 2005 and 2020. The prognosis and clinicopathological parameters of the high-GNRI and low-GNRI groups were compared. RESULTS In the GNRI-high group, the overall survival (OS) rates at 3 and 5 years after surgery were significantly lower (82.7% and 77.9%, respectively) than those in the GNRI-low group (56.4% and 40.8%). The GNRI was selected for the final multivariate analysis model for OS. The GNRI was also a significant prognostic factor for recurrence-free survival (RFS). The RFS rates at 3 and 5 years after surgery were 79.1% and 74.8%, respectively, in the GNRI-high group, and 48.0% and 38.6% in the GNRI-low group. The GNRI was selected for the final multivariate analysis model for RFS. The GNRI was also found to affect the postoperative clinical course, including postoperative surgical complications and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. CONCLUSION The GNRI may be a promising prognostic and predictive factor for gastric cancer. In the future, the GNRI may be used to select optimal treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The link between malnutrition and poor prognosis in cardiovascular disease has been established but the association between malnutrition and contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI), a common complication of coronary procedures, remains poorly understood. In this study we investigated the predictive value of 3 nutritional indexes for CA-AKI in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods and Results: The study included a total of 6,049 consecutive patients undergoing PCI between May 2012 and September 2020, among whom 352 (5.8%) developed CA-AKI. We used the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) to assess the association between malnutrition risk and CA-AKI after PCI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that malnutrition, as identified by GNRI and PNI, was significantly associated with a higher risk of CA-AKI (moderate-severe malnutrition in GNRI: odds ratio [OR]=1.92, [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.27-2.85]; malnutrition in PNI: OR=1.87, [95% CI, 1.39-2.50]), whereas the CONUT score did not demonstrate a significant difference (P>0.05). Furthermore, GNRI (∆AUC=0.115, P<0.001) and PNI (∆AUC=0.101, P<0.001) exhibited superior predictive ability than the CONUT score for CA-AKI and significantly improved reclassification and discrimination in the fully adjusted model. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition, especially identified by the GNRI and PNI, was associated with a higher risk of CA-AKI after PCI. GNRI and PNI performed better than the CONUT score in predicting CA-AKI.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in predicting the efficacy of first-line immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) combination therapy for metastatic or unresectable renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and associated patient prognosis. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted using data from 19 institutions. The GNRI was calculated using body mass index and serum albumin level, and patients were classified into two groups using the GNRI values, with 98 set as the cutoff point. RESULTS In all, 119 patients with clear cell RCC who received first-line drug therapy with ICIs were analyzed. Patients with GNRI ≥ 98 had significantly better overall survival (OS) (p = 0.008) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) (p = 0.001) rates than those with GNRI < 98; however, progression-free survival (PFS) did not differ significantly. Inverse probability of treatment weighting analysis showed that low GNRI scores were significantly associated with poor OS (p = 0.004) and CSS (p = 0.015). Multivariate analysis showed that the Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score was a better predictor of prognosis (OS; HR 5.17, p < 0.001, CSS; HR 4.82, p = 0.003) than GNRI (OS; HR 0.36, p = 0.066, CSS; HR 0.35, p = 0.072). In a subgroup analysis of patients with a good KPS and GNRI ≥ 98 vs < 98, the 2-year OS rates were 91.4% vs 66.9% (p = 0.068), 2-year CSS rates were 91.4% vs 70.1% (p = 0.073), and PFS rates were 39.7% vs 21.4 (p = 0.27), respectively. CONCLUSION The prognostic efficiency of GNRI was inferior to that of the KPS score at the initiation of the first-line ICI combination therapy for clear cell RCC.

Abstract
Malnutrition prevails among patients with heart failure (HF), increasing the likelihood of functional decline. We assessed the predictive value of the Hemoglobin-Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (H-GNRI)-combining hemoglobin and the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI)-on prognosis in older patients with HF. We used the JMDC multicenter database to examine the potential associations between malnutrition risk and other outcome measures. The patients were categorized as low- (H-GNRI score = 0), intermediate- (H-GNRI score = 1), or high-risk (H-GNRI score = 2) based on their H-GNRI scores. The primary outcome measure was the Barthel Index (BI) gain; the secondary outcomes included the BI at discharge, the BI efficiency, length of hospital stay, in-hospital mortality, discharge to home or a nursing home, and hospitalization-associated disability. We analyzed 3532 patients, with 244 being low-risk, 952 being intermediate-risk, and 2336 being high-risk patients. The high-risk group of patients had significantly lower BI values at discharge, lower BI gains, reduced BI efficiency values, and prolonged hospital stays compared to those in the low-risk group. The high-risk patients also had higher in-hospital mortality rates, lower rates of discharge to home or a nursing home, and greater incidences of a hospitalization-associated disability in comparison to the low-risk group. The H-GNRI may serve as a valuable tool for determining prognoses for patients with HF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is recognized as a risk factor for osteoporosis and T2DM. Previous studies have demonstrated the relationship between nutritional assessment tools and BMD. However, few studies have compared the effects of three nutritional risk assessment tools (GNRI, CONUT, and PNI). This study aimed to investigate the correlation between three nutritional assessment tools and BMD and to compare their validity in predicting osteoporosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus in the elderly. METHODS This retrospective study collected clinical data from 525 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and categorized the patients into osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic groups. The correlation between the three nutritional assessment tools and BMD was analyzed using Spearman partial correlation. Binary logistics regression was used to analyze the relationship between GNRI and osteoporosis. ROC curves were used to compare the validity of GNRI, PNI, and CONUT in predicting osteoporosis. RESULTS Spearman's partial correlation showed a positive correlation between femoral neck BMD and lumbar spine BMD, but no correlation was observed between total hip BMD and GNRI. Logistic regression analyses showed no association between PNI, CONUT scores, and the development of osteoporosis. After adjusting for age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, BMI, ALB, Cr, UA, FBG, TG, and HDL, the correlation between GNRI and osteoporosis remained. ROC curve analysis showed that GNRI in combination with age and albumin had better predictive ability for osteoporosis than PNI and CONUT. CONCLUSION GNRI was an independent protective factor against osteoporosis in elderly patients with T2DM, and the predictive ability of GNRI for osteoporosis in elderly patients with T2DM was better than that of PNI and CONUT scores.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown promise in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment. With the increasing use of ICIs in cancer treatment, identifying biomarkers that can predict the prognosis of patients receiving ICIs is of great importance. We aimed to investigate the potential of circulating immunoglobulins and the combination of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) with IgM to predict prognosis in patients with HCC who received ICIs. METHODS Clinical and pathological data were collected from 101 patients with HCC who were administered ICIs and underwent circulating immunoglobulin testing between January 2018 and December 2021. Survival analysis, Cox regression analysis, and nomogram construction were performed to evaluate the prognostic value of the indicators. RESULTS In the preliminary survival analysis, we observed a significant correlation between patient prognosis and IgM levels. Patients with low IgM had shorter survival times. Upon combining the GNRI with IgM, patients with low GNRI and IgM levels had shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) (P < 0.001). Additionally, GNRI-IgM had the highest area under the curve (AUC) and was identified as an independent prognostic marker in this study. The C-indices of the nomograms for PFS and OS were 0.797 (0.734-0.860) and 0.827 (0.778-0.876), respectively. CONCLUSIONS IgM was significantly associated with the prognosis of patients with HCC receiving ICIs. The combination of the GNRI with IgM provided superior prognostic value and served as an independent prognostic marker. The GNRI-IgM can be used to effectively identify patients with HCC who are responsive to ICIs.

Abstract
The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a nutritional screening tool used for predicting mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). This study investigated the cutoff values for the GNRI for predicting mortality in HD patients using Korean HD quality assessment data from 2015. To identify the optimal GNRI cutoff value, we used Harrell's C-index with multivariate Cox regression models. The highest value of C-index was identified as the cutoff value of GNRI for all-cause mortality in this population. In total, 34,933 patients were included; 90.8 of GNRI was the highest value of C-index, and it was used as a cutoff value to predict mortality; 3311 patients (9.5%) had GNRI values < 90.8, and there were 12,499 deaths during the study period. The mean follow-up period was 53.7 months. The crude mortality rates in patients with GNRI values < 90.8 and ≥ 90.8 were 160.4/1000 and 73.2/1000 person-years respectively. In the fully adjusted Cox model, patients with a GNRI < 90.8 had a 1.78 times higher risk of mortality than those with a GNRI ≥ 90.8. These findings suggest that the optimal GNRI cutoff value is 90.8 for predicting mortality in maintenance HD patients.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a life-threatening disease that coexists with right heart failure. We evaluated the relationship between malnutrition and prognosis in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, as malnutrition is known as a prognosis determinant in chronic heart failure. We retrospectively reviewed data of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension before treatment. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, Prognostic Nutritional Index, and Controlling Nutritional Status scores on the day of diagnosis were calculated to assess the nutritional status. Clinical endpoints were defined as composite outcomes of all-cause death or lung transplantation. Eighty patients were enrolled (mean age, 50 years; 23 men). The mean pulmonary arterial pressure was 47 ± 19 mmHg, Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index was 99.9 ± 12.0, and Prognostic Nutritional Index was 46.3 ± 10.0. The median Controlling Nutritional Status score was 2 (1-4). During the median 5.5-year follow-up period, 28 composite events occurred. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated significant differences in the incidence of clinical endpoints between groups divided by each median Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, Prognostic Nutritional Index, and Controlling Nutritional Status score (p = 0.007, 0.039, and 0.010, respectively). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, clinical endpoints were significantly associated with Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (hazard ratio: 0.953, 95% confidence interval: 0.918-0.990), Prognostic Nutritional Index (hazard ratio: 0.942, 95% confidence interval: 0.892-0.996), and Controlling Nutritional Status score (hazard ratio: 1.230, 95% confidence interval: 1.056-1.433) after adjustment for factors associated in univariate Cox regression analysis. Malnutrition at diagnosis is a useful prognostic predictor for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by progressive lung fibrosis of unknown aetiology. Epidemiological studies have suggested that IPF progression may negatively affect nutritional status. Weight loss during antifibrotic therapy is also frequently encountered. The association of nutritional status and outcome has not been fully evaluated in IPF patients. METHODS This retrospective multicohort study assessed nutritional status of 301 IPF patients receiving antifibrotic therapy (Hamamatsu cohort, n = 151; Seirei cohort, n = 150). Nutritional status was evaluated using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI). The GNRI was calculated based on body mass index and serum albumin. The relationship between nutritional status and tolerability of antifibrotic therapy as well as mortality was explored. RESULTS Of 301 patients, 113 (37.5%) had malnutrition-related risk (GNRI < 98). Patients with malnutrition-related risk were older, had increased exacerbations and worse pulmonary function than those without a GNRI status <98. Malnutrition-related risk was associated with a higher incidence of discontinuation of antifibrotic therapy, particulary due to gastrointestinal disturbances. IPF patients with malnutrition-related risk (GNRI < 98) had shorter survival than those without such risk (median survival: 25.9 vs. 41.1 months, p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, malnutrition-related risk was a prognostic indicator of antifibrotic therapy discontinuation and mortality, independent of age, sex, forced vital capacity, or gender-age-physiology index. CONCLUSION Nutritional status has significant effects on the treatment and outcome in patients with IPF. Assessment of nutritional status may provide important information for managing patients with IPF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM No studies have examined the association between the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) at the initiation of chemotherapy for malignant lymphoma and the occurrence of adverse events. Therefore, we investigated the impact of GNRI at treatment initiation on the occurrence of side effects and time to treatment failure (TTF) in patients with malignant lymphoma undergoing initial rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included 131 patients who underwent initial R-CHOP therapy between March 2016 and October 2021. Patients were stratified into those with high (GNRI ≥92; n=56) or low (GNRI <92; n=75) GNRI status. RESULTS Comparing the High GNRI group and Low GNRI group, the incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN) and Grade ≥3 creatinine increase, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) increase, albumin decrease, hemoglobin decrease, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia were significantly higher in the Low GNRI group. TTF in the High GNRI group was significantly longer than that in the Low GNRI group (p=0.045). Multivariate analysis showed that the factors influencing the duration of treatment were PS (≥2) at the start of treatment, serum albumin level, and GNRI. CONCLUSION In patients undergoing R-CHOP therapy, GNRI <92 at regimen initiation increased the risks of developing FN and hematologic toxicity. Multivariate analysis revealed that performance status, albumin levels, and GNRI at regimen initiation were the factors influencing treatment duration. Nutritional status at treatment initiation may influence the development of hematologic toxicity and TTF.

Abstract
The optimal dose intensity of chemotherapy for elderly patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains controversial because of concerns about adverse events and comorbidities related to the patients' frailty. This single-center study retrospectively analyzed patients aged ≥ 70 years who were newly diagnosed with DLBCL and received chemotherapy between 2004 and 2022. Survival outcomes and treatment-related mortality (TRM) were stratified according to geriatric assessment variables, and the influence of chemotherapy dose intensity on outcomes was assessed using the frailty score with a Cox hazards model with restricted cubic spline (RCS) in patients aged 70-79 years. In total, 337 patients were included. The frailty score accurately predicted prognosis (5-year overall survival [OS]: 73.1%, 60.2%, and 29.7% in fit, unfit, and frail patients, respectively; P < 0.001) and TRM (5-year TRM: 0%, 5.4%, and 16.8 in fit, unfit, and frail patients, respectively; P < 0.001). Cox regression with RCS demonstrated a linear association between dose intensity and survival outcomes. Initial dose intensity (IDI) and relative dose intensity (RDI) had a significant impact on OS in fit patients. However, IDI and RDI had no significant effect on survival in non-fit (unfit and frail) patients. The frailty score identified non-fit patients with poorer survival and a higher risk of TRM. While fit patients were likely to benefit from full-dose R-CHOP, unfit and frail patients would likely benefit more from attenuated R-CHOP. This study suggested a potential role for the frailty score in individualizing treatment intensity in elderly patients with DLBCL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nutritional status is a useful prognostic factor in gastric cancer patients. Since oral hypofunction may cause undernutrition, we cross-sectionally investigated whether the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is affected by the number of remaining teeth, occlusal support status and denture use. MATERIALS AND METHODS The participants were 114 patients diagnosed with gastric cancer between April 2017 and March 2020. The stage of gastric cancer, body mass index, albumin level, total lymphocyte count, C-reactive protein level and GNRI were evaluated. The number of remaining teeth was also evaluated, and the occlusion state was determined based on the Eichner classification. The patients were divided into three main groups representing different occlusal states based on the Eichner index and were also categorised based on denture use. RESULTS The mean age ± standard deviation of the patients was 75.2 ± 5.5 years. The Eichner classification had a significant positive correlation with GNRI. Low GNRI was associated with a poor occlusal state in group C, while a higher GNRI was associated with a stable occlusal state in group A. However, the denture-related groups showed no significant differences in GNRI. CONCLUSION The GNRI was associated with the occlusal support level but not with denture use.

Abstract
Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is known both as a reliable indicator of nutritional status and a predictor of long-term survival among patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). However, the optimal timing to evaluate GNRI during hospitalization remains unclear. In the present study, we retrospectively analyzed patients hospitalized with ADHF in the West Tokyo Heart Failure (WET-HF) registry. GNRI was assessed at hospital admission (a-GNRI) and discharge (d-GNRI). Out of 1474 patients included in the present study, 568 (40.1%) and 796 (57.2%) patients had lower GNRI (<92) at hospital admission and discharge, respectively. After the follow-up (median 616 days), 290 patients died. The multivariable analysis showed that all-cause mortality was independently associated with d-GNRI (per 1 unit decrease, adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04-1.09, p < 0.001), but not with a-GNRI (aHR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.97-1.01, p = 0.341). The predictability of GNRI for long-term survival was more pronounced when evaluated at hospital discharge than at hospital admission (area under the curve 0.699 vs. 0.629, DeLong's test p < 0.001). Our study suggested that GNRI should be evaluated at hospital discharge, regardless of the assessment at hospital admission, to predict the long-term prognosis for patients hospitalized with ADHF.

Abstract
Objectives The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a nutrition-related risk index calculated easily from serum albumin and the ratio of body weight to ideal body weight. We investigated the prognostic values of the GNRI in elderly patients with obstructive colorectal cancer (OCRC) who had a self-expandable metallic stent inserted as a bridge to curative surgery. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 61 patients aged ≥65 years with pathological stage I to III OCRC. Associations of preoperative GNRI and pre-stenting GNRI (ps-GNRI) with short- and long-term outcomes were examined. Results Multivariate analyses revealed GNRI of <85.3 and ps-GNRI of <92.9 were independently associated with worse cancer-specific survival (CSS; P = 0.016, and P = 0.041, respectively), and overall survival (OS; P = 0.020, and P = 0.024, respectively). A ps-GNRI of <92.9 was correlated with poorer relapse-free survival (RFS) only in the univariate analysis (P = 0.034). For the OCRC cohort without age restriction (n = 86), GNRI of <85.3 and ps-GNRI of <92.9 were independently associated with worse CSS (P = 0.021), and OS (P = 0.023), respectively. In univariate analysis, ps-GNRI of <92.9 was significantly correlated with poorer RFS (P = 0.006). Moreover, ps-GNRI of <92.9 was significantly associated with Clavien-Dindo grade of ≥III postoperative complications (P = 0.037), anastomotic leak (P = 0.032), infectious complications (P = 0.002), and longer postoperative hospital stay (17 days vs. 15 days; P = 0.048). Conclusions In OCRC patients, decreased preoperative and pre-stenting GNRI were significantly correlated with poorer survival, and decreased pre-stenting GNRI was significantly associated with worse short- and long-term outcomes.

Abstract
After a stroke, patients can suffer from sarcopenia, which can affect recovery. This could be closely related to an impairment in nutritional status. In this preliminary analysis of a longitudinal prospective study, we screened 110 subjects admitted to our rehabilitation center after a stroke. We then enrolled 61 patients, who underwent a 6-week course of rehabilitation treatment. We identified a group of 18 sarcopenic patients (SG), according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2 (EWGSOP2), by evaluating muscle strength with the handgrip test, and muscle mass with bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). With respect to the non-sarcopenic group (NSG), the SG at admission (T0) had worse muscle quality, according to the BIA-derived phase angle, and a lower score of MNA®-SF. In contrast to the NSG, the SG also exhibited lower values for both BMI and the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) at T0 and T1. Moreover, 33% of the SG had a major risk of nutrition-related complications (GNRI at T0 < 92) and discarded on average more food during the six weeks of rehabilitation (about one-third of the average daily plate waste). Of note is the fact that the Barthel Index’s change from baseline indicated that the SG had a worse functional recovery than the NGS. These results suggest that an accurate diagnosis of sarcopenia, along with a proper evaluation of the nutritional status on admission to rehabilitation centers, appears strictly necessary to design individual, targeted physical and nutritional intervention for post-stroke patients, to improve their ability outcomes.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to investigate whether nutrition levels in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) affect their risk of all-cause mortality during hospitalization and to further evaluate the predictive ability of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and Body Mass Index (BMI) for risk of all-cause mortality. Methods Patients from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 were retrieved, and a total of 1847 were included. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed for risk adjustment, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to assess the predictive ability of GNRI and BMI for all-cause mortality. Results Malnourished TB patients were older, had more congestive heart failure, and had more chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma. Under the nutrition level grouping defined by GNRI, the all-cause mortality in the malnourished group did not appear to reach a statistical difference compared with the nonmalnourished group (P = 0.078). When grouped by level of nutrition as defined by BMI, the all-cause mortality was higher in the malnourished group (P = 0.009), and multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that malnutrition was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality. After propensity score matching, the results showed that the all-cause mortality was higher in the malnutrition group, regardless of BMI or GNRI defined nutrition level grouping, compared with the control group (both P < 0.001). The ROC curve analysis revealed that the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.811 ([95% confidence interval (CI) 0.701–0.922], P < 0.001) for GNRI and 0.728 ([95% CI 0.588–0.869], P = 0.001) for BMI. Conclusion In the clinical treatment of patients with active TB, more attention should be paid to the management of nutritional risk. GNRI may be a highly effective and easy method for predicting short-term outcomes in patients with active pulmonary TB.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is an objective nutritional status assessment tool used for predicting mortality risk in hospitalized patients. However, it is unclear whether GNRI reflects short-term mortality for hip fracture patients after surgery. We examined the usefulness of the nutritional status assessed by the GNRI and identified cutoff scores that predict mortality risk. Does GNRI on admission predict the mortality after surgery for hip fracture? HYPOTHESIS Evaluation of GNRI could help identify patients at higher risk of 30-day mortality after hip fracture surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study used data from 1040 patients who underwent hip fracture surgery. Fatalities within 30 days after hip fracture surgery were investigated. The GNRI was calculated on admission in all patients as follows: 14.89×serum albumin (g/dL)+41.7×body mass index/22. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to calculate the area under the curve (AUC) and the optimal cutoff score that could predict 30-day mortality after hip fracture surgery. This cutoff score was used for comparing the mortality rates between patient groups with a GNRI higher and lower than the cutoff score using Fisher's exact test. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine risk factors of 30-day mortality. RESULTS There were 17 fatalities (1.6%) in the cohort. The ROC-AUC value was 0.811, and the cutoff GNRI was 75.4. Mortality was significantly higher in the group with a GNRI<75.4 compared with the group with a GNRI≥75.4 (odds ratio [OR], 22.99; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 7.55-78.05; p=0.00000004). A GNRI<75.4 was a significant predictor of mortality within 30-days after hip fracture surgery (OR, 27.1; 95% CI, 8.57-85.9; p≤0.0001). DISCUSSION Our results show that nutritional status assessment using GNRI can help predict 30-day mortality among geriatric patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture. The GNRI is a simple and accurate tool for predicting the risk of mortality after hip fracture surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV; case series study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the prognostic impact of preoperative Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) values in older adults undergoing radical surgery for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). SUBJECTS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 61 patients ≥ 65 years old with OSCC (43 men, 18 women; age: 72.1±5.4 years) who underwent radical surgery between 2013 and 2020. Factors influencing overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were examined. RESULTS Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that the optimal GNRI value for classifying patients into low-GNRI (<93.7; OS: n=19 [31.1%], DFS: n=42 [68.9%]) and high-GNRI groups (≥93.7; OS, n=19 [31.1%]; DFS, n=42 [68.9%]) was 93.7. OS and DFS rates were significantly lower in the low-GNRI group than in the high-GNRI group. Univariate analysis indicated that alcohol use, preoperative serum C-reactive protein level, lymphatic invasion, postoperative treatment, and GNRI were significantly correlated with OS, while lymphatic invasion, postoperative treatment, and GNRI were significantly correlated with DFS. In multivariate analysis, only GNRI was significantly correlated with OS. DFS and postoperative treatment were independent predictors of DFS. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative GNRI may be a significant prognostic factor in older adults with OSCC. GNRI assessment and nutritional intervention may improve prognosis in patients at high nutritional risk.

Abstract
Aims/Introduction Diabetes and sarcopenia have a two‐way relationship with each other with advanced age. Additionally, malnutrition is correlated with a higher risk of sarcopenia in elderly patients. This study evaluated the association between sarcopenia and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged ≥60 years were recruited from June 2018 to August 2020. This study analyzed 234 patients, who completed a physical performance test required for the diagnosis of sarcopenia. To investigate the effect of GNRI on sarcopenia, logistic regression analyses was used. Results Patients with sarcopenia were significantly older with a lower body mass index (BMI) and GNRI compared with normal patients. The GNRI showed a positive correlation with the skeletal muscle index (SMI) and handgrip strength (SMI: R = 0.486, P < 0.001 for male; R = 0.589, P < 0.001 for female, handgrip strength: R = 0.470, P < 0.001 for male, R = 0.364, P < 0.001 for female). In the multivariate logistic regression model, a higher GNRI was associated with a lower risk of sarcopenia in older men and women with diabetes (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.892; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.839–0.948 for male; adjusted OR, 0.928; 95% CI, 0.876–0.982 for female). One year of diabetes treatment improved the GNRI in the sarcopenia group with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Conclusions A low GNRI was associated with an increased risk of sarcopenia in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Treatment with glucose‐lowering drugs improved the GNRI in the sarcopenia group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM We aimed to investigate the association between The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and the tolerability of lenvatinib in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 61 HCC patients treated with lenvatinib and compared those with low GNRI (≤98, n=26) to those with high GNRI (>98, n=35). RESULTS The discontinuation of lenvatinib due to adverse events was more frequent in the low GNRI group (46.2%) than in the high GNRI group (17.1%) (p=0.014). Multivariate analysis revealed that low GNRI (p=0.014), hypothyroidism (model 1 p=0.021, model 2 p=0.013), and advanced age (p=0.026) were independently associated with the discontinuation of lenvatinib. The progression-free survival in the low GNRI group was significantly shorter than that in the high GNRI group (p=0.047). CONCLUSION The GNRI might be independently associated with the tolerability of lenvatinib in patients with HCC.

Abstract
Background The elevated serum uric acid (SUA) is associated with an increased risk of hypertension and nutritional status. Malnutrition might modify the association of SUA with hypertension. Therefore, the aims of this study were to examine the mediation effect of malnutrition on the association of SUA with the risk of hypertension in Chinese population. Methods The study was based on the China Health and Nutrition Survey in 2009. Participants aged ≥ 60 years with complete analyzed data were eligible. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) was calculated by serum albumin (ALB) and BMI. Participants were identified as hypertension if systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg or receiving antihypertensive drug. Results There were 2371 participants included in the final analysis. In total, there was a significant mediation effect of the GNRI on the relationship between SUA level with hypertension (P < 0.001; OR: 1.096; and 95 % CI: 1.048–1.146). And the proportion mediated was 17.77 %. The results stratified by sex were consistent with those of total population. The significant mediation effects of the GNRI were found in the 60–69 years and 70–79 years groups (P = 0.002 and 0.032; OR: 1.099 and 1.075; and 95 % CI: 1.036–1.165 and 1.006–1.148, respectively) but not in the 80–99 years group (P = 0.303). The proportions mediated were16.22 % and 18.36 %, respectively. Conclusions The GNRI can mediate and account for approximately 17.77 % of the relationship between SUA level and the risk of hypertension. And this mediation effect was fully observed in both males and females, especially in the 60–79 years population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated whether butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) was independently related to the overall survival (OS) of patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). METHODS Baseline information, serum BChE level, and other laboratory data were collected from 295 patients on MHD in a single HD hospital in 2018. We retrospectively investigated the mortality of these patients after 38 months. We assessed the prognostic markers such as the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Erythropoiesis Resistance Index (ERI), and Simplified Creatinine Index (SCI) of each patient. The primary objective was to examine the impact of BChE on OS. The secondary objective included the designation of a risk score in predicting the OS. RESULTS We evaluated 284 patients. The median value of the serum BChE level was 206 IU/L. Of 284 patients evaluated, eighty-six patients died; all had a higher ERI and a lower serum BChE level, SCI, and GNRI than the surviving patients. The optimal cutoff values of the BChE level, GNRI, ERI, and SCI for OS were 166 IU/L, 90.0, 8.00, and 20.6, respectively. The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the age, HD vintage, dialysis dose, GNRI of < 90.0, and serum BChE level of < 166 IU/L (hazard ratio, 2.03; P = 0.003) were the independent prognostic factors. We designed a risk score consisting of the GNRI and serum BChE level. The predictive value of our risk score was superior to that of GNRI alone. CONCLUSION The serum BChE level could be an independent prognostic factor for patients on MHD.

Abstract
Nutritional assessments, including the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), have emerged as prediction tools for long-term survival in various cancers. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic strategy and explore the prognostic factors in the elderly patients (≥65 years) with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The cutoff value of the GNRI score (92.5) was obtained using the receiver operating characteristic curve. Among these patients (n = 205), 129 (62.9%) did not receive standard R–CHOP chemotherapy. Old age (≥80 years), poor performance status, low serum albumin level, and comorbidities were the major factors associated with less intensive anti-lymphoma treatment. Further analysis demonstrated that a lower GNRI score (<92.5) was linked to more unfavorable clinical features. In the patients who received non-anthracycline-containing regimens (non-R–CHOP), multivariate analysis showed that a low GNRI can serve as an independent predictive factor for worse progression-free (HR, 2.85; 95% CI, 1.05–7.72; p = 0.039) and overall survival (HR, 2.98; 95% CI, 1.02–8.90; p = 0.045). In summary, nutritional evaluation plays a role in DLBCL treatment and the GNRI score can serve as a feasible predictive tool for clinical outcomes in frail elderly DLBCL patients treated with non-anthracycline-containing regimens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between nutritional status and the incidence or prognosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been reported, but no studies have described the relationship between the outcomes of AF catheter ablation (CA) and nutritional status as assessed by various scoring tools. We aimed to verify the hypothesis that preoperative nutritional status is associated with arrhythmia recurrence after CA for AF.Methods and Results:We evaluated 913 patients (age, 67±10 years; men, 72%; paroxysmal AF, 56%) who underwent CA for AF between November 2011 and November 2017. Patients were systematically followed with an endpoint of atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence, the predictive value of which was compared among 3 scoring tools (Controlling Nutritional Status [CONUT] score / Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index [GNRI] / Prognostic Nutritional Index [PNI]). Patients were divided into normal nutrition (CONUT <2 [n=637] / GNRI >98 [n=836] / PNI >38 [n=910]) and undernutrition (CONUT ≥2 [n=276] / GNRI ≤98 [n=77] / PNI ≤3 [n=3]) groups. AF recurred in 274 patients (mean follow-up, 2.3±0.8 years). The AF recurrence rate was higher in patients with undernutrition than in those with normal nutrition (CONUT/GNRI) status. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified undernutrition status (GNRI ≤98) as an independent predictor of atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence. CONCLUSIONS The AF recurrence rate after CA was higher in patients with undernutrition than in those with normal nutrition as stratified by the nutrition scoring tools.

Abstract
Objective Previous studies have explored the association between malnutrition and frailty, but no study has investigated whether the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), a simple and objective nutritional risk screening tool, is associated with the frailty of older adults. The study aimed to examine the relationship between nutrition-related risk, as assessed by the GNRI, and frailty among older hospitalized patients. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University with 740 patients aged ≥70 years between March 2016 and Jan 2017. Nutritional and frailty status was evaluated with the GNRI and FRAIL scale, respectively. The adjusted and unadjusted ordinal logistic regression analyses were used to examine the relationship between nutritional risk and frailty. The ability of GNRI in detecting frailty was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results The prevalence of low, moderate, and severe nutritional risk among frail patients were 30.1%, 27.6%, and 12.5%, respectively. Ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that malnutrition assessed by the GNRI had a significant association with frailty after adjustment of age, sex, polypharmacy, comorbidity, vision impairment, hearing impairment, cognitive impairment, and depression. In the ROC analysis, the area under the curve for GNRI identifying frailty was 0.698 (95% CI: 0.66-0.74; P<0.001), and the optimal cut-point value was 97.16 (sensitivity: 64.3%; specificity: 66.9%). Conclusion Nutrition-related risk screened by the GNRI was independently associated with frailty. The GNRI could be used as a simple tool in detecting nutritional risk and frailty status of older patients.

Abstract
Background The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a simple and objective screening tool for clinicians to screen patients’ nutritional status based on serum albumin level and their weight and height. The original study had divided patients based on GNRI into quartiles of nutritional risk for death: a no-risk group (GNRI >98), a low-risk group (GNRI 92–98), a moderate-risk group (GNRI 82 to <92), and a major-risk group (GNRI <82). Given that the patients generally sustained traumatic brain injury (TBI) in an acute condition, the study aimed to explore whether GNRI presents a prognostic value for the mortality outcome of these patients. Methods From January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2019, 581 elderly patients with moderate to severe TBI, which was defined as sustaining a head Abbreviated Injury Scale ≥3, was included in the study population. The collected data included age, sex, body mass index, serum albumin levels at admission, preexisting comorbidities, Glasgow Coma Scale, and Injury Severity Score. The primary outcome in the comparison was in-hospital mortality. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that GNRI, ESRD, and ISS were significant independent risk factors for mortality in patients with moderate to severe TBI. When subgrouping the study population into four nutritional risk categories according to the quartile deviation as Q1 (GNRI <85, n = 145), Q2 (GNRI 85 to <93.8 n = 145), Q3 (GNRI 93.8 to 103, n = 145), and Q4 (GNRI >103, n = 146), Q1 patients had a significantly longer LOS in hospital (25.2 days vs 18.6 days, respectively; p = 0.004) and higher mortality rate (28.3% vs 11.7%, respectively; p < 0.001) than Q4 patients. The mortality rate was significantly higher in Q1 patients than in Q4 patients (OR, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.14–6.78; p = 0.021). Conclusion This study revealed that the GNRI is a significant independent risk factor and a promising simple assessment tool for mortality in elderly patients with moderate to severe TBI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a hallmark of frailty, is common among elderly patients, and is a predictor of poor outcomes in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS). The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a simple and well-established screening tool to predict the risk of morbidity and mortality in elderly patients. In this study, we evaluated whether GNRI may be used in the risk stratification and management of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). METHODS Patients with symptomatic severe AS (n = 953) who underwent transfemoral TAVR at the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein Kiel, Germany, between 2010 and 2019 (development cohort) were divided into two groups: normal GNRI ≥ 98 (no nutrition-related risk; n = 618) versus low GNRI < 98 (at nutrition-related risk; n = 335). The results were validated in an independent (validation) cohort from another high-volume TAVR centre (n = 977). RESULTS The low-GNRI group had a higher proportion of female patients (59.1% vs. 52.1%), higher median age (82.9 vs. 81.8 years), prevalence of atrial fibrillation (50.4% vs. 40.0%), median logistic EuroSCORE (17.5% vs. 15.0%) and impaired left ventricular function (<35%: 10.7% vs. 6.8%), lower median estimated glomerular filtration rate (50 vs. 57 mL/min/1.73 m2 ) and median albumin level (3.5 vs. 4.0 g/dL) compared with the normal-GNRI group. Among peri-procedural complications, Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) Stage 3 was more common in the low-GNRI group (3.6% vs. 0.6%, p = 0.002). After a mean follow-up of 21.1 months, all-cause mortality was significantly increased in the low-GNRI group compared with the normal-GNRI group (p < 0.001). This was confirmed in the validation cohort (p < 0.001). Low GNRI < 98 was identified as an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 1.44, 95% CI 1.01-2.04, p = 0.043). Other independent risk factors included albumin level < median of 4.0 g/dL, high-sensitive troponin T in the highest quartile (> 45.0 pg/mL), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in the highest quartile (> 3595 pg/mL), grade III-IV tricuspid regurgitation, pulmonary arterial hypertension, life-threatening bleeding, AKIN Stage 3 and disabling stroke. CONCLUSIONS Low GNRI score was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in patients undergoing TAVR, implying that this vulnerable group may benefit from improved preventive measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Undernutrition is common in patients after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and predicts poor clinical outcomes. We assessed the relationship between undernutrition and prognosis after AIS. METHODS We retrospectively assessed consecutively hospitalized AIS patients aged ≥65 years. A poor prognosis for patients after AIS was defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of ≥3 at discharge. Nutritional status was evaluated based on the degree and risk of undernutrition as determined by the Controlling Nutritional Status (UND-CONUT) and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (UNR-GNRI) scores. RESULTS Among 218 patients (male, 62.8%; median age, 77 years), 81 had a poor prognosis. A significant correlation was found between UND-CONUT and UNR-GNRI scores (p < 0.001, r = 0.433). Patients with a poor prognosis showed significant undernutrition based on UND-CONUT (p = 0.003) but not on UNR-GNRI (p = 0.218). Patients with undernutrition based on UND-CONUT showed poor outcomes: higher mRS scores at discharge, higher percentages of mRS scores of ≥2 and ≥3, and more complications associated with pneumonia. No significant differences were seen between cases with and without undernutrition risk based on UNR-GNRI. CONCLUSION UND-CONUT appeared to be more useful than UNR-GNRI for predicting the prognosis of elderly patients with AIS at discharge.

Abstract
Background We examined the association of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI)
with the incidence of hypertension. Methods We used data of the China Health and Nutrition Survey in this study.
Participants aged ≥60 years were eligible. The GNRI was defined as follows:
GNRI = [1.489 × albumin (ALB; g/L)] + [41.7 × (actual weight/ideal weight)].
Participants with systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, diastolic blood
pressure ≥90 mmHg, or use of antihypertensive medication were defined as
having hypertension. Results This study included 4853 participants, comprising 3612 control participants
and 1241 participants with hypertension. The GNRI, ALB, and body mass index
(BMI) were significantly associated with higher incidence of hypertension
(HR: 1.030, 1.026, and 1.088; 95% CI: 1.020–1.041, 1.008–1.044, and
1.069–1.107, respectively). The GNRI, ALB, and BMI were associated with an
earlier age of hypertension onset (β = −0.403, −0.613, and −0.321; 95% CI:
−0.493 to −0.314, −0.767 to −0.459, and −0.484 to −0.159, respectively). Conclusions A higher GNRI was associated with increased incidence of hypertension. An
elevated GNRI was associated with earlier age of hypertension onset.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) is a nutritional measure for predicting the risk of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. We evaluated the utility of the GNRI to predict the short-term and long-term outcomes after curative surgery for gastric cancer (GC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients who underwent curative surgery for GC between 2008 and 2016 were reviewed (n=795). We classified patients into two groups according to the GNRI (high GNRI: low and no risk; low GNRI: major and moderate risk) and compared the utility of the GNRI. RESULTS A low GNRI was an independent prognostic factor for poorer overall survival (hazard ratio=2.34, p<0.001). The GNRI tended to be a better prognostic indicator in elderly patients with GC. Low GNRI was associated with postoperative complications (odds ratio=2.27, p=0.002), especially in patients aged ≥75 (odds ratio=2.26, p=0.042). CONCLUSION Low GNRI was associated with poor prognosis and occurrence of postoperative complications in patients with GC, especially in elderly patients.

Abstract
Purpose We evaluate the association of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and the adverse outcome in elderly patients (≥65 years old) with fall injuries. Patients and Methods Total 1071 elderly patients with fall injuries were enrolled. Patients were divided into four groups: high risk, moderate risk, low risk and no risk (GNRI: <82, 82 to <92, 92 to ≤98 and >98) for patient demography, comorbidities, and adverse outcomes analysis. Results After 1:1 propensity score-matched analysis, 97 patients in high-risk group, 144 patients in moderate-risk group, and 114 patients in low-risk group were compared to no risk group. High-risk group patients had a 5.7-fold higher risk of mortality (p = 0.003) and prolong hospital stay (18.0 vs 12.3 days; p = 0.016) when compared to no-risk group patients. Significantly prolong hospital stay were also found in low-risk and moderate-risk group when compared to no risk group. Conclusion A lower GNRI is associated with prolonged hospital stay in the elderly patients with fall injuries. High nutritional risk (GNRI < 82) is associated with an increased in-hospital mortality rate.

Abstract
Purpose The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), Nutritional Risk Index (NRI), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score were devised for quantifying nutritional risk. This study evaluated their properties in detecting compromised nutrition and guiding perioperative management of esophageal cancer patients. Methods A prospective institutional database of esophageal cancer patients was reviewed and analyzed. Compromised nutritional status was defined as PNI < 50, NRI < 97.5, GNRI < 92, or CONUT score ≥ 4, respectively. The malnutrition diagnosis consensus established by the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN 2015) was selected as reference. Multivariable logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were used. External validation was conducted. Results After reviewing the 212-patient database, 192 patients were finally included. Among the four nutritional indexes, the GNRI < 92 showed highest sensitivity (72.0%), specificity (78.9%), and consistency (AUC 0.754, 95% CI 0.672–0.836) with malnutrition diagnosed by ESPEN 2015. The GNRI < 92 showed comparable performance with ESPEN 2015 in recognizing decreased fat mass, fat-free mass, and skeletal muscle mass (all P < 0.01). Both the GNRI < 92 and ESPEN 2015 showed good property in predicting major complications, infectious complications, overall complications and delayed hospital discharge (all P < 0.01), better than PNI < 50, NRI < 97.5, and CONUT score ≥ 4. Regarding the external validation, a retrospective analysis of 155 esophageal cancer patients confirmed the better performance of GNRI < 92 in predicting perioperative morbidities than other 3 nutritional indexes. Conclusion The GNRI was optimal in perioperative management of esophageal cancer patients among the four nutritional indexes and was an appropriate alternative to ESPEN 2015 for simplifying nutritional assessment.

Abstract
Hemodialysis (HD) patients tend to have sarcopenia and malnutrition, and both conditions are related to poor prognosis in the cardiovascular disease that often accompanies HD. However, the impact of sarcopenia or malnutrition on the long-term prognosis of HD patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains unclear. We analyzed 1,605 consecutive patients with ACS who had undergone PCI at a single center between January 2009 and December 2014. We evaluated all-cause mortality and prognosis-associated factors, including sarcopenia/malnutrition-related factors such as the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and Skeletal Muscle Mass Index (SMI). After exclusions, 1461 patients were enrolled, and 58 (4.0%) were on HD. The HD group had lower levels of SMI and GNRI than non-HD group, and had worse in-hospital prognosis. Moreover, HD group had a significant higher mortality in the long-term follow-up [median follow-up period: 1219 days; Hazard Ratio (HR) = 4.09, p < 0.001]. After adjusting the covariates, SMI and GNRI were the factors associated with all-cause mortality in all patients [SMI: adjusted HR (aHR) = 2.39, p = 0.036; GNRI: aHR = 2.21, p = 0.006]; however, these findings were not observed among HD patients with ACS, and only diabetes was significantly associated with all-cause mortality (diabetes: aHR = 3.50, p = 0.031). HD patients with ACS had a significantly higher rate of in-hospital and long-term mortality than non-HD patients. Although sarcopenia and malnutrition were related to mortality and were more common in HD patients, sarcopenia and malnutrition had a lower impact than diabetes on the long-term prognosis of HD patients with ACS.

Abstract
Aims We aimed to investigate the differences in the prevalence, severity, and prognostic impact of malnutrition between patients with new‐onset heart failure (HF) and worsening of chronic HF. Methods and results In older (≥60 years) hospitalized patients with acute HF, malnutrition was assessed according to the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI). A score <92 was defined as malnutrition. The primary endpoint was a composite endpoint, including cardiac death or rehospitalization for HF. Among 210 patients, 37% (52/142) of patients with new‐onset HF and 31% (21/68) of patients with worsening of chronic HF had malnutrition (P = 0.41). The GNRI classification was comparable between the two groups. Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed a significant difference in the incidence of the composite endpoint in patients with new‐onset HF (GNRI < 92 vs. GNRI ≥ 92: 50% vs. 32%, P = 0.007), but not in patients with worsening of chronic HF (GNRI < 92 vs. GNRI ≥ 92: 67% vs. 68%, P = 0.91). The adjusted Cox proportional hazards model demonstrated that a GNRI of <92 was an independent prognostic factor for the composite endpoint in patients with new‐onset HF only. Conclusions Among older hospitalized patients with acute HF, the prevalence and severity of malnutrition were comparable between the two categories of patients. Malnutrition was an independent prognostic factor in patients with new‐onset HF, while clinical prognosis was poor in patients with worsening of HF, irrespective of malnutrition. The prognostic impact of malnutrition differs between new‐onset HF and worsening of chronic HF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Malnutrition is a well-recognized risk factor for poor prognosis and mortality. We investigated whether preoperative malnutrition diagnosed with objective nutritional scores affects 1-year mortality in patients undergoing valvular heart surgery. METHODS In this retrospective cohort observational study, we evaluated the association among the Controlling Nutritional Status score, Prognostic Nutritional Index, and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index with 1-year mortality in 1927 patients undergoing valvular heart surgery. We identified factors for mortality using multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis and investigated the utility of nutritional scores for risk stratification. RESULTS Malnutrition, as identified by a high Controlling Nutritional Status score and low Prognostic Nutritional Index and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, was significantly associated with higher 1-year mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that mortality significantly increased as the severity of malnutrition increased (log-rank test, P < .001). The predicted discrimination (C-index) was 0.79 with the Controlling Nutritional Status score, 0.77 with the Prognostic Nutritional Index, and 0.73 with the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index. Each nutritional index (Controlling Nutritional Status; hazard ratio, 1.31, 95% confidence interval, 1.21-1.42, P < .001), the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II (hazard ratio, 1.07, 95% confidence interval, 1.04-1.09, P < .001), and chronic kidney disease (hazard ratio, 2.26, 95% confidence interval, 1.31-3.90, P = .003) were independent risk factors for mortality. The Controlling Nutritional Status score added to the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II significantly increased the predictive discrimination ability for mortality (C-index 0.82, 95% confidence interval, 0.78-0.87, P = .014) compared with the Controlling Nutritional Status or European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II alone. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative malnutrition as assessed by objective nutritional scores was associated with 1-year mortality after valvular heart surgery. The Controlling Nutritional Status score had the highest predictive ability and, when added to the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II, provided more accurate risk stratification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The relationship of preoperative malnutrition with perioperative adverse medical events (PAMEs) has not been well studied in elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery (SS). We aimed to compare the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) for prediction of PAMEs in elderly patients undergoing SS. METHODS Data of 454 patients ≥65 years old undergoing SS were reviewed. PAMEs were defined as death, cardiopulmonary complications, respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, pneumonia, delirium, cerebrovascular events, and sepsis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to compare the predictive value of each nutritional index for PAMEs. RESULTS Incidence of PAMEs was 15.3%. Patients who had PAMEs had significantly lower GNRI and PNI but higher CONUT score before surgery compared with patients without PAMEs. Multivariate analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR] 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-4.75, P = 0.014), chronic renal failure (OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.03-3.82, P = 0.002), coronary artery disease (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.11-3.54, P = 0.028), PNI <45.4 (OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.16-4.80, P = 0.011), CONUT score >5 (OR 2.17, 95% CI 1.03-3.76, P = 0.001), and GNRI <92 (OR 2.68, 95% CI 1.20-6.45, P < 0.001) were significant predictors of PAMEs. The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that GNRI had much greater discriminatory ability regarding PAMEs than PNI and CONUT score. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative malnutrition is associated with PAMEs in elderly patients undergoing SS. GNRI had the highest accuracy for predicting PAMEs among the nutritional indices studied.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the prognostic efficacy of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in second-line pembrolizumab (PEM) therapy for patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). PATIENTS AND METHODS From January 2018 to October 2019, 52 mUC patients, treated previously with platinum-based chemotherapy, underwent second-line PEM therapy. Peripheral blood parameters were measured at the start of treatment: serum neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), serum albumin, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), and body height and weight. PEM was intravenously administered (200 mg every 3 weeks). The patients were organized into two groups based on their GNRI (<92 [low GNRI] and ≥92 [high GNRI]), and the data were retrospectively analyzed. Adverse events (AEs) were evaluated and imaging studies assessed for all patients. Analyses of survival and recurrence were performed using Kaplan-Meier curves. Potential prognostic factors affecting cancer-specific survival (CSS) were assessed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. RESULTS patients' baseline characteristics, except for their BMI and objective response rate, did not significantly differ between the two groups. The median total number of cycles of PEM therapy was significantly higher for the high-GNRI group (n [range]: 6 [2-20] vs. 3 [1-6]). The median CSS with second-line PEM therapy was 3.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.5-6.1) and 11.8 months (95% CI: 6.2-NA) in the low-GNRI and the high-GNRI group (p < 0.01), respectively. Significant differences in CSS between the low- and high-CRP or -NRL groups were not found. Multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis revealed that a poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, visceral metastasis, and a low GNRI were significant prognostic factors for short CSS (95% CI: 1.62-6.10, HR: 3.14; 95% CI: 1.13-8.11, HR: 3.03; 95% CI: 1.32-8.02, HR: 3.25, respectively). Of the AEs, fatigue showed a significantly higher incidence in the low-GNRI group. CONCLUSIONS For mUC patients receiving second-line PEM therapy, the GNRI is a useful predictive biomarker for survival outcome.

Abstract
AIM Malnutrition is common in older patients and is associated with adverse outcomes. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) has been developed as an objective index to assess nutritional risk in these patients. However, there is limited evidence regarding the association between GNRI and postoperative delirium (POD) as well as length of stay (LOS) in surgical older patients. Therefore, our goal was to examine the impact of poor nutrition, evaluated by the GNRI, on POD and length of stay in older patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. METHODS In this prospective cohort study, older patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery from April to June of 2015 were included. Preoperative nutritional status was assessed by the GNRI within the first 48 h after hospital admission. The outcomes were POD and LOS. Multivariable logistic regression and linear regression analyses were used to assess the role of GNRI in predicting these outcomes. RESULTS In the whole sample (N = 288), the prevalence of severe/moderate (GNRI <92) and low (GNRI 92-98) nutritional risk was 15.6% and 29.5%, respectively. The median length of hospital stay was 14 days. Delirium was present in 49 patients (17%). A linear regression analysis showed that low (β = 4.56, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.18-6.94) and severe/moderate (β = 3.70, 95% CI: 0.74-6.65) nutritional risk were associated with prolonged LOS. Moreover, a multivariate analysis revealed that patients with severe/moderate nutritional risk were more likely to develop POD compared with those without (odds ratio = 2.56, 95% CI: 1.11-5.89). CONCLUSION Preoperative malnutrition, as assessed using the GNRI, predicted LOS and the development of POD in elderly non-cardiac surgical patients. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2020; 20: 759-764.

Abstract
In patients with heart failure (HF), the impact of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) on in-hospital mortality and length of hospital stay remains unclear. We aimed to identify the factors associated with increased in-hospital mortality and longer length of hospital stay considering the GNRI in acute decompensated HF with reduced and preserved ejection fraction (HFrEF and HFpEF, respectively). Patients with acute decompensated HF who were admitted to our institution between 2007 and 2011 were investigated. A total of 451 (201, HFrEF; 250, HFpEF) patients were divided into the following: patients with GNRI < 92 and ≥92. In HFrEF, there were no significant differences in in-hospital mortality and length of hospital stay between patients with GNRI < 92 and ≥92 (median (interquartile range), 24.0 (23.8) days and 20.0 (15.0) days, respectively, p = 0.32). In HFpEF, despite no differences in in-hospital mortality, patients with GNRI < 92 had significantly longer length of hospital stay than those with GNRI ≥ 92 (median (interquartile range), 20.0 (22.3) days and 17.0 (16.0) days, respectively, p = 0.04). In HFpEF, GNRI < 92, along with lower hemoglobin, higher B-type natriuretic peptide, and elevated C-reactive protein levels, were the independent factors for longer length of hospital stay. Among patients with acute decompensated HF, assessment of nutritional status with GNRI is useful for stratifying patients at high risk for longer length of hospital stay in HFpEF but not in HFrEF. These observations are particularly important when considering the increasing elderly population and prevalence of HFpEF.
