Association of preoperative nutritional status evaluated by the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score with walking independence at 180 days postoperatively: a prospective cohort study in Chinese older patients with hip fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Malnutrition is significantly associated with unfavourable outcomes, but there is little high-level evidence to elucidate the association of malnutrition with losing walking independence (LWI) after hip fracture surgery. This study aimed to assess the association between preoperative nutritional status evaluated by the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score and walking independence at 180 days postoperatively in Chinese older hip fracture patients.

Methods

This prospective cohort study included 1958 eligible cases from the SSIOS database. The restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to assess the dose-effect relationship between the CONUT score and recovery of walking independence. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to balance potential preoperative
