Controlling Nutritional Status Score Predicts 1-Year Outcomes in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prognosis for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) using their nutritional status has not been established. We investigated the relationship between the prognosis of patients with CTEPH and the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, which is a nutritional assessment tool.

Methods and results

A total of 157 patients with CTEPH was enrolled in the study. The primary outcome was defined as the composite outcome of all-cause mortality and non-elective hospitalization due to heart failure. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the cutoff CONUT score for predicting the 1-year rate of the primary outcome. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the significant cutoff value and compa
