Association between the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and all-cause mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nutrition and immunity play an important role in many chronic diseases. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) has been proposed as a comprehensive indicator of an individual's immune and nutritional status. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding the association between the PNI and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods

We used National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2001-2014 for participants with CKD. Mortality data were obtained from the National Death Index and matched to NHANES participants. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios for all-cause mortality.Results: The patients were 72.5 ± 9.8 years old, and 47.57% were male. The median follow-up was 58 months, and
