The relationship between Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The role of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) as a prognostic factor in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) remains uncertain.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the GNRI on mortality outcomes in critically ill patients with AKI.

Methods

For this retrospective study, we included 12,058 patients who were diagnosed with AKI based on ICD-9 codes from the eICU Collaborative Research Database. Based on the values of GNRI, nutrition-related risks were categorized into four groups: major risk (GNRI < 82), moderate risk (82 ≤ GNRI < 92), low risk (92 ≤ GNRI < 98), and no risk (GNRI ≥ 98). Multivariate analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between GNRI and outcomes.
