Combined evaluation of Geriatric nutritional risk index and Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio for predicting all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Malnutrition, accompanied by an inflammatory profile, is a risk factor for poor prognosis in hemodialysis patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive value of NLR combined with GNRI for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients.

Methods

A total of 240 maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients in hemodialysis centers were enrolled in this retrospective study. The influencing factors of all-cause death in hemodialysis patients were analyzed by COX regression. The cut-off values of GNRI and NLR for predicting mortality in enrolled MHD patients were 89.01 and 4, respectively. Based on these cut-off values, the patients were divided into four groups: G1: high GNRI (≥ 89.01) + high NLR (≥ 4) group; G2: high GNRI (≥ 89.01) + l
