The prognostic effects of the geriatric nutritional risk index on elderly acute kidney injury patients in intensive care units

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), a nutritional screening tool specifically for the aging population, has been proven to be associated with worse outcomes in chronic kidney disease patients, especially in the hemodialysis population. However, the predictive validity of GNRI in critically ill elderly patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) is yet to be determined. This analysis sought to examine the prognostic effects of GNRI on elderly AKI patients in intensive care units (ICUs).

Methods

We collected elderly AKI patient-relevant data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III database. AKI was diagnosed and staged according to the “Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes” criteria. In the study, 1-year mortality was considered the pr
