Geriatric nutritional risk index as a nutritional and survival risk assessment tool in stable outpatients with systolic heart failure

Abstract Background and aims Malnutrition is frequent in heart failure (HF). However, the best tool for evaluating malnutrition in geriatric patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the incremental prognostic value of the geriatric nutritional...

Description
Summary:Abstract Background and aims Malnutrition is frequent in heart failure (HF). However, the best tool for evaluating malnutrition in geriatric patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the incremental prognostic value of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) in stable geriatric outpatients with HFrEF compared with a clinical/laboratory prognostic model. Methods and results A total of 143 outpatients with HFrEF, aged >65 years, a LVEF
