Association between nutritional status scores and the 30-day mortality in patients with acute kidney injury: an analysis of MIMIC-III database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies have proven that the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) increased in patients with malnutrition. Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) were general tools to predict the risk of mortality, but the prognostic value of them for in-hospital mortality among patients with AKI have not been validated yet. Herein, this study aims to explore the association between PNI and GNRI and 30-day mortality in patients with AKI.

Methods

Demographic and clinical data of 863 adult patients with AKI were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database in 2001-2012 in this retrospective cohort study. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional regression analyses were used to explore the associatio
